Once upon a time, a fat greedy king lived in a magnificent palace. At a corner of the palace was the royal garden, and in the garden grew a small eggplant bush. Tuntuni happened to live in that bush in her tiny nest. One day, the king had all his gold coins washed and spread out in his garden to dry. Once the laundered money was dry, his people picked it up and stored it in the vault. But somehow, one little gold piece rolled under the bush. Tuntuni saw the little coin sparkling in the sun, picked it up, and stowed it in her nest. How happy she was! ‘I am rich,’ she thought, ‘Rich indeed, because the same gold the king has got, I have it in here, have I not?’ She was so happy, she sang aloud, ‘Nested in the eggplant vine, What was the king’s wealth is now mine. All the gold the king has got Tuntuni’s got, has she not?’ The king heard the song from his throne, and asked his court-men, ‘What is that crazy bird singing about? What is in her nest?’
