The story of a great king

Once upon a time there lived a great king.King Dholuvardhan as he was called by his satisfied subjects ruled the kingdom of Dholunagaram.The king was loved and adored by his only wife -- queen Jujulata.The king was completely bowled over the very first time he met Jujulata and gradually the princess' charm and elegance -- especially her gentle morning touch on Dholu's cheek -- had the king surrender his love to the generous woman.

The king ,however, was not of much intellectual capacity.His kingdom was run by the advice of his minister Parthakya.The minister ,though outright dumb, had convinced the king into believing that all his fundae where for his own welfare.Parthakya considered himself a great warrior , a champion of all sports. He never stopped bragging about his supremacy at a certain ball-stick and pocket game which he was painfully slow at but with which he had looted the king of all his glory.

The minister had promised to build the king a futuristic vehicle - one that would garner energy fro the mighty sun-god and move at speeds unmatched in that era.The king, thrusting the promise made by his minister had dreamt of several long drives on the vehicle with his lady love. Alas,the vehicle never materialized.It could run downward from the top of the hill and that was all the movement it could do.

The queen being let down by the king's inability to keep his word left him to Pune-land where he got herself a stylish vehicle of the present.Angry with the minister , the king had him fired.That, however, didn't stop his longing for the queen. Unable to take the pain of separation, the king journeyed across seven hill punctuating the heart of central India and reached Puneland.The queen was mesmerized by the King's sudden but sweet gesture. As a token of her appreciation,she made the king sit behind her on her scintillating vehicle of the present. Little did the king know what was in store for him.The magical vehicle upturned drammatically and the king was thrown away like a stone when catapulted.Though thickly covered by several layers of soft fat ,Dholu's bones gave way to the enormous jerk resulting from his massive physique hitting against the rough ground.Dholu cried for help but to no avail.The queen stood there with triumph oozing out of her eyes.Her vengeance was quenched.Feeling vindicated she drove away to the comfort of her palace which she shared with 3 other men.

Lying hopeless and helpless Dholu was finally rescued by Rishambara - the proud self-confident,never-to-be-wronged prince from Mumbainagar.Rishambara had once possessed a communication device of the future of which he was extremely proud but which he had tried to fiddle with -- so true to his nature and had hence caused it to break. Taking pity at Dholu's pitiable state , Rishambara directed him to the exit gate of Pune-Land that would eventually lead him to DHolunagar.though the direction was absolutely wrong, no one would challenge Rishambara with his Federer-like confidence.

Ill-fated Dholu paid heed to the words of Rish and ended up straight in the palace of Jujulata.
there, seeing the queen's display of infidelity in the most blatant form (if you know what i mean ;)) Dholu was stunned . His willingness to live disappeared and lifting a dagger he neutralized himself.

Thus died the great king
