Krishna and Arjuna

One day Sri Krishna & Arjuna were taking their usual walk, when they came across an old Brahmin begging, taking pity on his condition, Arjuna gave him a bag of gold coins. The man was overjoyed. On his way to home, he was robbed by a thief in the forest. He cursed his fate and the next day set off to beg again. Arjuna & Krishna saw him again & got to know his story. Arjuna once again took pity and gave him a large diamond. The man took it home and kept it in an old pot which had been unused for many years inorder to keep it safe and went to sleep.

She immediately remembered the pot at home which lay unused and brought it to fill it with water. Just as she dipped the pot in to the river the diamond escaped the pot and went in to the river.

A man, an avid Gardener saw a small Butterfly laying few eggs in one of the pots in his garden.  Since that day he looked at the egg with ever growing curiosity and eagerness.  The egg started to move and shake a little.  He was excited to see a new life coming up right in front of his eyes.  He spent hours watching the egg now.  The egg started to expand and develop cracks.  A tiny head and antennae started to come out ever so slowly.  The man's excitement knew no bounds. He got his magnifying glasses and sat to watch the life and body of a pupa coming out.  He saw the struggle of the tender pupa and couldn't resist his urge to "HELP".  He went and got a tender forceps to help the egg break, a nip here, a nip there to help the struggling life and the pupa was out.  The man was ecstatic!  He waited now each day for the pupa to grow and fly like a beautiful butterfly, but alas that never happened.  The larvae pupa had a oversized head and kept crawling along in the pot
