A farmer lived with his wife in a small town. He had very little land.
They used to cultivate it and sell the crop in the market. He used to get some money from this.
Once both of them were cleaning the house on Diwali. Then he found a silver coin from behind an old wooden box.
They both became very happy. They bought good seeds and fertilizers from him.
This time he had a very good crop.
On the next Diwali, they were again cleaning. Then he found another silver coin.
This time he bought two bullocks, so that it would be easier to plow the field.
With bullocks the work was done quickly and well. This time the crop was better than before. Now he had a lot of money.
Diwali came again. Once again while cleaning he found a silver coin.
This time he decided to buy a goat. With the coin, he bought a good goat which used to give good milk.
Now they lived happily. Farming was good. Gradually, he had also bought some more land. They had oxen to plow the fields. Now there was also a goat which used to give milk.
Diwali came again. While cleaning he once again found another silver coin. This time he bought a cat with that coin. A beautiful white cat.
The farmer's wife loved the cat very much and used to feed it milk everyday. The cat used to drink all the milk quickly.
A year passed like this. Diwali has come again. Once again both of them cleaned and they again got a silver coin.
He now had a lot of money. There was no shortage of anything. He had a beautiful house, he had bullocks, a goat, a beautiful cat.
He decided that with this coin he would make a glass bridge in the garden of his house.
This will make their house look more beautiful. He got a small piece of glass made in front of his house. Now they wanted to see whether the bridge is strong or not.
That's why he asked everyone else to go over the bridge before climbing the bridge himself.
First the bull climbed, the bridge did not break. Then the goat went over the bridge. The bridge didn't break. But as soon as the cat climbed the bridge, the bridge broke.
know why ? Because she used to drink milk happily everyday and those who drink milk everyday are the most powerful - the strongest!
