Wedding of the Well


Tenali Raman got a new well dug in his backyard. According to Tenali’s family tradition, a new well was always worshiped before being used. King Krishndev Raye was also present at the ceremony. Looking at this strange tradition, Krishndev Raye became playful. Next day, the King sent an invitation to all the royal courters that he is planning his Well’s wedding and the wells in Courteer’s houses are cordially invited to attend this ceremony.

Everyone was puzzled. However, Tenali Raman assured everyone to come up with a solution. Next day, all the courters headed by Tenali Raman went to King Krishndev Raye. The King asked mischievously “Haven’t you come along your Wells to attend the wedding of my well? “ To this Tenali replied “Maharaaj, our wells are eager to come and attend the wedding of your well, but, according to a tradition in our families, the well which is getting married must come and invite our wells personally. Only than our wells can come and attend the ceremony.” Krishndev Raye shouted “What nonsense! How can a well leave its place and go to invite other wells?” A silence spread in the courtroom. Krishndev Raye realized his folly. He immediately dismissed his mischievous proposal.
