A poor person who gives is great; a rich person who does not is small.\n\nGiving is not only money. Time, effort, a kind word and a share of one's food are all gifts. It is the habit of giving that raises a person.","story_title_ta":"\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd","story_ta":"\u0bae\u0b95\u0bbe\u0baa\u0bbe\u0bb0\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0bb5\u0ba9 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0b9a\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0b85\u0b95\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbf \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd, \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0b95\u0bb5\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd. \u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b9e\u0bcd\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0bae\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0baa\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b9a\u0bca\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bc1: \u201c\u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b87\u0bb0\u0bc8. \u0ba8\u0bc0 \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baa\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bb1\u0bbf\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba8\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd.\u201d \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf, \u201c\u0b85\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bb2\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0b95\u0bcd \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95 \u0bae\u0bbe\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0ba4\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bc1 \u0b88\u0b9f\u0bbe\u0b95 \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bbf\u0bb1\u0bc7\u0ba9\u0bcd\u201d \u0b8e\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd.\n\n\u0ba4\u0bb0\u0bbe\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b92\u0bb0\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe, \u0bae\u0bb1\u0bc1 \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b9a\u0ba4\u0bc8. \u0b8e\u0bb5\u0bcd\u0bb5\u0bb3\u0bb5\u0bc1 \u0bb5\u0bc8\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc1\u0bb1\u0bbe\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1. \u0b87\u0bb1\u0bc1\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf \u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bc7 \u0bae\u0bc1\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0b9f\u0bcd\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b8f\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bae\u0bb0\u0bcd\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0ba9\u0bcd. \u0b85\u0baa\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0ba4\u0bc1 \u0b85\u0b95\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0b87\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0bb0\u0ba9\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bae\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0b9f\u0bbf\u0bb5\u0bbf\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bcb\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0bb1\u0bbf \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bc8 \u0bb5\u0bbe\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bb0\u0bcd; \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b89\u0b9f\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bae\u0bc1\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bcb\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b86\u0ba9\u0ba4\u0bc1.\n\n\u0b9a\u0bbf\u0baa\u0bbf\u0baf\u0bbf\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0baa\u0bc6\u0bb0\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bc8 \u0b85\u0bb5\u0ba9\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb0\u0b9a \u0b95\u0bc1\u0bb2\u0ba4\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0b85\u0bb2\u0bcd\u0bb2; \u0ba4\u0ba9\u0bcd\u0ba9\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bc7 \u0b95\u0bca\u0b9f\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0ba4\u0bcd \u0ba4\u0bc1\u0ba3\u0bbf\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4 \u0b95\u0bc8\u0baf\u0bbe\u0bb2\u0bcd \u0bb5\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0ba4\u0bc1.","story_title_en":"King Shibi and the Dove","story_en":"From the Mahabharata, Vana Parva. To test King Shibi's generosity, Agni took the form of a dove and Indra the form of a hawk. Fleeing the hawk, the dove flew into the king's lap for refuge.\n\nThe hawk said, 'That is my prey. If you take it from me, I will die of hunger.' Shibi answered, 'I will not give up one who has come to me for shelter. In its place I will give you flesh from my own body.'\n\nThe dove was set on one pan of a balance, and on the other the king placed flesh cut from his own thigh. However much he added, the dove's side stayed heavier. At last Shibi climbed onto the pan himself. Then Agni and Indra appeared in their own forms and blessed him, and his body was made whole again.\n\nShibi's greatness did not come from his royal line.
