subalchandra and sushilchandra. Both are
unsatisfied
with
this
present
lives.
Sushilchandra the son wanted full freedom
so that he can do whatever he wants to, like
playing
whole
day, climbing trees and missing school etc.
On
the
other
hand
his
father subalchandra wanted to have his
childhood back so that he could study
sincerely to get proper education which he
could
not get because his parents pampered him
too much during his child hood.
Sushil wishes to be of his father’s
age to enjoy full freedom in his life
Both wish to be at the place of each other.
The lady of wishes happened to pass their
house and heard what the father ad son
said. She fulfilled the wishes of both father
and son.
The Godess of wishes fulfill
their wishes
Now their wishes had come true but it
only
made
trouble
for
them
Sushilchandra Who wanted to play all
the day and eat whatever he liked, was
strangely hesitating to do these things
because these activities could make
him sick as his old body was not able to
do these activities
At the same time subalchandra,
who wished to study sincerely to
get proper education if he got
the chance to get his childhood
back was uncharacteristically
making lame excuses to skip
the school and play all the day
Soon both realized that they
had made a mistake and began
to pray to the lady of wishes to
make them what they were
before.
Moral :Satisfaction is the key to live
happily because GOD have given
everybody/ every Age what he or
she/ it deserves.
