Once upon a time, in the colorful kingdom of Vijayanagara, there lived a clever and mischievous boy named Rama. Everyone in the kingdom fondly called him Tenali Rama because he was born in a little village called Tenali. Rama had a heart full of curiosity and was always looking for new adventures. Now, the king of Vijayanagara was a wise but often troubled monarch. He had many advisors who tried their best to solve his problems, but none could match Tenali Rama's wit. One day, the king called upon Rama and said, "Oh, wise Rama, I have faced a great dilemma. The neighboring kingdom has challenged us to solve a puzzle, and if we fail, they will take over our lands. Can you help me?"

Tenali Rama eagerly accepted the king's request and asked for more information about the puzzle. The king explained that the riddle was this: "I have a golden box with a thousand locks. Each lock requires a different key. Inside the box lies a treasure, but only someone with the wit to solve the puzzle can unlock it." Rama pondered this puzzle carefully. He knew that a thousand keys were impossible for anyone to find or carry. So, he decided to use his problem-solving skills and approached the king with a brilliant solution.

He gathered all the blacksmiths and metalworkers in the kingdom. Rama explained his plan to them - to craft a single key that could unlock all the different locks of the golden box. The blacksmiths worked day and night to create a master key, while Rama assisted them with his clever suggestions. Finally, the key was ready! With great excitement, Rama handed it to the king. The king used the golden key to turn each lock effortlessly, and to everyone's delight, the precious treasure was revealed.

The neighboring kingdom was astounded by Tenali Rama's intelligence and problem-solving abilities. They knew they could not defeat a king with such a wise and talented advisor. And so, peace was restored between the two kingdoms, and Vijayanagara lived happily ever after. From that day forward, Tenali Rama became renowned far and wide for his quick thinking and intelligent problem-solving skills. People from all over the kingdom would seek his advice, knowing that he would always come up with the most ingenious solutions.

And so, my dear little one, always remember the story of Tenali Rama. It teaches us that with some clever thinking, there is a solution to every problem. Just like Tenali Rama, you too can use your wit and intelligence to overcome any challenges that come your way. Now snuggle up, sleep tight, and dream big, my little problem solver. Goodnight!
