The Tiny Black Box

One day,
a minister,
from King Krishnadevaraya's Court,
came to visit him.
What's the matter minister?
Your majesty,
Tiruvangi Baba,
was meditated in the Himalaya for many years.
has now come here to glorify our Kingdom.
I would like you to meet him,
as he is a very powerful Saint,
and will fulfil all your wishes.
Sure.
I'll meet him tomorrow.
Make all arrangements.
Send a message to Tenali Raman also.
Yes your Majesty.
The next day,
the King
along with his accompaniments left
the palace to meet the Saint.
The Saint,
had a long beard and hair.
He had a sacred pot of water in one hand,
and a sacred chain in the other.
The King bowed respectfully, to the Saint.
The Saint,
looked at the King,
and exclaimed loudly.
Oh King.
Beware.
There is an enemy.
Who is around you.
He is trying to assassinate you,
What are you saying Swami?
Don't worry,
Okay?
Do you wish to know who your enemy is?
Yes Swamiji.
Look at this black box.
This black box
is filled with my divine powers.
If you open it,
you will see your enemy's face inside it.
Give it to me Swami.
I want to see my traitor.
but one condition
First you must take the holy ashes from the box
and apply it on your forehead.
Only then,
you will be able to see your enemy.
Your Majesty.
Just a moment.
Before you open this box,
I have another box over here.
I want him to open this box.
only then,
will he realize what your powers are.
Swamiji,
what happened to you?
Why has your face turned pale?
He is not a Saint your majesty.
He is a cheat.
The box has no divine powers.
It is a plot to kill you.
it has a poisonous powder.
If you had applied it on your forehead,
you would have died.
Your Majesty.
Please forgive me.
I am a spy from the neighbouring country.
I have been asked to do so.
Arrest him!
and throw him into the dungeon.
Tenali,
with you on my side,
no one can harm me or our kingdom.
I have a small doubt.
What was that in the black box
which you gave to that cheat?
hahahahaha.
a slip which said.
you cheater your accomplice has already been caught.
Hahahahahaha.
Hahahahaha.
Dear children.
There are all kinds people around us.
You should be able to differentiate between the good,
and the bad,
and beware of those people.
