00:07Once upon a time, there was a priest in a kingdom. His wisdom was known to the other kingdoms.
00:30Everyone considered him to be a scholar and respected him.
00:33Once upon a time, the king of this kingdom called him to his court.
00:36There was a lot of discussion with him.
00:38When the priest was about to leave, the king said,
00:40Brahman Dev, I wanted to talk to you.
00:42You are so intelligent.
00:44A lot of people say about you that you are a great scholar.
00:47But why is your son a fool?
00:49The priest felt bad.
00:51The priest asked, what happened?
00:52Why are you calling my son a fool?
00:54The king replied,
00:56Your son does not know the value of gold and silver.
01:01The priest got angry but could not say anything.
01:03He went home.
01:05When he reached home, his son was ready to bring water for his father.
01:08He kept a glass in front of his father and asked him to drink the water.
01:11His father was very angry.
01:13His father said,
01:15What is the value of gold and silver?
01:19The priest's son replied,
01:21Papa, gold is valuable.
01:23The priest said,
01:25You gave the right answer.
01:27Then why was the king saying that your son is a fool?
01:29He does not know the value of gold and silver.
01:31His son understood everything.
01:33His son said,
01:35Papa, sit down.
01:37Father, I want to tell you one thing.
01:39When I go to school in the morning,
01:41The king sets up a court in the open.
01:43A lot of people come to his court.
01:45They call me too.
01:47I go there on the way.
01:49They call me and say,
01:51Son, I have a gold coin in one hand and a silver coin in the other.
01:55Take the more valuable one.
01:57I bring a silver coin from there every day.
01:59The priest said,
02:01Son, when you know the value of both of them,
02:03Then come home with a gold coin.
02:05Why are you making me suffer again and again?
02:07Why are you making so many people suffer?
02:09His son started laughing loudly.
02:11He said,
02:13Father, come with me.
02:15He took his father inside.
02:17He took out the box.
02:19When he opened the box,
02:21There were silver coins in the box.
02:23The day I pick up the gold coin,
02:25The game will be over that day.
02:27It takes time to rise above.
02:29Then even if the sun does not rise,
02:31It rises slowly.
