👑 The Cruel King and the Kind Minister
A Hindu king who ruled multiple territories governed his kingdom during ancient times. He possessed great strength but showed extreme cruelty towards others. He imposed harsh punishments on people without any delay. He executed his officials who committed minor errors. The atmosphere inside his palace created an impression of terror.
The king had one minister who possessed both intelligence and kindness. He worked for the benefit of needy people. He showed all people proper treatment. His dedication to justice and compassion created a unique identity for him.
The minister required a river crossing solution on that day. A boatman stood there with a new boat, ready to serve him. The minister crossed to the other side without any danger.
The royal soldiers who wanted to capture the boat awaited them at the location they reached. The minister protected the boatman and saved his boat.
The boatman expressed his gratitude to him and then departed.
The minister forgot this small act of kindness. But life kept this information in its memory.
🐘 The White Elephant Challenge
Some time later, the king received a rare gift — a white elephant. The animal had developed into a powerful creature after it grew from its infant stage.
The king visited the elephant with his court. The entire group praised the elephant.
The king maintained his vengeful feelings. He planned to take revenge against the minister.
He said,
“If you cannot tell me the exact weight of this white elephant within ten days, I will orde
“If you cannot tell me the exact weight of this white elephant within ten days, I will order your execution.”
The minister felt shock and fear. There was no giant weighing scale. No simple way to measure such a heavy animal.
Days passed. Eight days had passed. Only two remained.
In deep worry, the minister walked to the river and sat there thinking.
🚣 The Boatman’s Brilliant Idea
The same boatman from before arrived at the present time, and he expressed his goodwill through his greeting.
The minister asked the question,
“Honored minister,
Why are you troubled?”
The minister told all the details about his situation.
The boatman showed his happiness through a soft smile when he told people,
- “The matter at hand remains simple to solve.”
- The minister showed his astonishment through his look at the man.
- The boatman showed a smart method to solve problems.
- He should put the elephant into the boat.
- He should measure the boat’s water displacement by observing its current sinking level.
- He should take out the elephant.
- He should fill the boat with stones until it sinks to the same mark.
- He should weigh the stones.
- The stones’ total weight matches the weight of the elephant.
The minister’s eyes showed hope. The solution proved to be intelligent. The solution proved to be basic. The solution proved to be complete.
🌊 The Clever Solution
The next day, they brought the elephant to the river.
They placed it on the boat and marked the water level.
The boat reached its original water level after they used stones to replace the elephant.
They completed the stone measurement process.
The answer was ready.
The minister presented the exact weight to the king.
The king felt shocked because he could not believe what he heard.
The king felt shame after he learned about the running process. The king rewarded the minister after he admitted his fault.
The king finally understood the power of wisdom and fairness.

صدیوں پرانی بات ہے ہندوستان پر اس وقت کے راجہ مہاراجے حکومت کیا کرتے تھے ۔ ایک ہندو راجے نے بہت سے علاقوں پر قبضہ کیا
ہوا تھا، وہ ایک ظالم بادشاہ تھا،بات بات پر وزیروں کو قتل کروادیا کرتا تھا۔ اُس کا ایک وزیر ایک عقلمند اور رحمدل شخص تھا ، وہ رعایا
سے نیک سکول کرتا تھا اور اُن کی مدد بھی کرتا تھا۔ وہ ایک مرتبہ دریا کی دوسری طرف جانے کیلئے دریا پر پہنچا تو اُس نے دیکھا کے
ایک ملاح نئی کشتی لئے اُس کے استقبال کیلئے موجود ہے۔ جب وہ دوسری طرف پہنچا تو وزیر نے دیکھا کہ بادشاہ کے ہر کارے کشتی پر
قبضہ کرنے کیلئے تیار کھڑے ہیں۔ وزیر نے ملاح کی کشتی ان سے بچا لی تو وہ وزیر کا شکریہ کرتے ہوئے واپس لوٹ گیا۔ کچھ عرصے
بعد کسی نے اس مسئلہ پر وزیر کے خلاف بادشاہ کے کان بھرنا شروع کردیئے۔ بادشاہ تو پہلے ہی موقع کی تلاش میں تھا کہ کس طرح وزیر
سے بدلہ لے۔ کچھ عرصے پہلے دوسرے بادشاہ بنے اُسے سفید ہاتھی کا تحفہ دیا تھا، وہ بچہ تھا مگر اب جوان ہوگیا تھا، بادشاہ بمعہ اپنے
وزراء اور درباریوں کے اسے دیکھنے گیا۔ تمام درباری اور وزراء اُسکی تعریف کررہے تھے۔ بادشاہ وزیر سے انتقام لینا بھولا نہیں تھا۔ اُس
نے وزیر سے کہا: مجھے اس ہاتھی کا ٹھیک وزن بتاؤ ورنہ تمہیں قتل کردیا جائے گا، دس دن کی مہلت ہے۔ وزیر بہت پریشان ہوا وہ مختلف
تدبیروں کا سوچنے لگا مگر کچھ سمجھ نہیں آرہا تھا۔ وہ پریشانی کے عالم میں د ریا کی طرف نکل گیا اور وہاں بیٹھ کر سوچ وبچار کرنے
لگا۔ اِسی دوران وہی کشتی والا بزرگ اُس کے پاس آیا اور جھک کرسلام کیا۔ وزیر کو پریشان دیکھاکر پوچھا: وزیر محترم ! کیا بات ہے، آپ
پریشان لگ رہے ہیں۔ ہاں بزرگو ! بادشاہ نے ایک الجھن میں ڈال دیا ہے۔ دس دن کی مہلت تھی، آج آٹھواں دن ہے، اگر جواب نہ دیا تو میری
گردن اُڑادی جائیگی۔ وہ اُلجھن کیا ہے؟ شاید میں کچھ مدد کرسکوں۔ بات یہ ہے کہ بادشاہ کے پاس ایک سفید ہاتھی ہے، وہ اُسکا وزن بتانے کا
کہہ رہا ہے ، ورنہ میری گردن․․․․․․ یہ تو کوئی مسئلہ ہی نہیں ہے ،چٹکی بجاتے ہی حل ہوگیا ہے، آپ کا مسئلہ ․․․․ میری جان کو بنی ہے،
آپ چٹکی بجاتے مسئلہ حل کررہے ہیں۔ وزیر نے حیرت سے کہا۔ جی محترم! آپ کل ہاتھی لائیے ، اسے کشتی پر بیٹھا کر دریا میں اُتارتے
ہیں جتنے کشتی پانی کے اند جائے گی، اس پر نشان لگائیں گے پھر اتنے وزن کے پتھر کو نشان تک کشتی پانی میں لیجا کر ڈال کر وزن
کرلیں۔ ویری گڈ․․․․ وزیر کی سمجھ میں ساری بات آگئی۔ اگلے دن وہ ہاتھی کو دریا کے کنارے لایا، اُسے کشتی میں سوار کرکے دریا میں
لیجا کر کشتی پر نشان لگا دیا۔ پھر اُس نشان تک پتھر ڈال کر وزن کیا گیا پھر اُن پتھروں کا وزن کیا اور بادشاہ کو بتادیا۔ اب بادشاہ حیران ہوا
کہ یہ کیسے ممکن ہے جب اُسے بتایا تو بہت خوش ہو ا ایک نیکی کا یہ صلہ دیا ہے جبکہ اُس وزیر نے بہت سے معاملات میں بادشاہ کی
رہنمائی کی تھی اور اپنی غلطی کا اعتراف کیا۔ نیکی کر دریا میں ڈال وزیر نے ملاح کیساتھ نیکی کی اور ملاح نے نیکی کرکے اس کی جان
بچائی۔ اللہ تعالیٰ ہمیں نیک کام کرنے کی توفیق عطا فرمائے (آمین)
