One day, a wandering sanyasi (holy man) sought shelter. The rich elder brother rudely chased him away, but the younger brother welcomed him warmly despite having very little.Pleased with his kindness, the sanyasi gifted the younger brother a magical flute. When played, the flute made crops grow tall and golden instantly. Seeing this miracle, the rich elder brother grew jealous. He tricked his sibling, exchanged the magical flute for an ordinary one, and kept the real one for himself—but it did not work for him because the gift responded only to kindness.When the poor brother went back to the sanyasi, the holy man understood what had happened. This time he gave him a mystical drum. When beaten, the drum forced greedy or wicked people to dance uncontrollably until they admitted their wrongs.When the rich brother again tried to steal the drum, it suddenly made him dance wildly, embarrassing him until he confessed and returned everything he had taken.By the end, the younger brother regained all the magical gifts and prospered, while the elder brother learned a lesson about greed, humility, and generosity.This story highlights how kindness brings blessings and greed brings misery.
