One day King KrishnaDev Raya was very angry with Tenalirama. He asked him to leave his country. Tenalirama obeyed the king's order and started his journey.
After some days, KrishnaDev Raya riding, was going through a forest. At that time, he saw a person climbing to the top of a tree. He found that the person was Tenalirama. KrishnaDev Raya said “I told you to go out of this country. But you are still here?”
Tenalirama answered “Sir, I have travelled the entire world. But, all the people whom I asked told that ‘It is under KrishnaDev Raya's empire.’ So, I was just climbing up the tree to reach the other world.”
Listening to this the king became very pleased. He excused Tenalirama and ordered him to return to the court.

Quick wit always impresses great kings and rulers, but it comes with great risks as it could even mean the end of their lives. Court jesters like Tenali Raman are born with wisdom and would go to any extent in applying it. I always loved reading these tales.
Atul Raj Keep reading ☺
