Tenali Raman – Tenali Raman och hästen

 

Once, King Krishnadevaraya wanted to test his courtiers. He gave each courtier one horse to take care of. He told them that the winner would be the one who had the strongest horse at the end of one month.

Translate

En gång ville kung Krishnadevaraya testa sina hovmän. Han gav varje hovmästare en häst att ta hand om. Han sa till dem att vinnaren skulle vara den som hade den starkaste hästen i slutet av en månad.

 

He gave everyone a good amount of straw to feed the horses. Tenali Raman was not happy with this plan since he did not know much about rearing horses. He shut his horse in a stable. Every day at exactly nine o’clock, he gave the horse little straw through the window.

Translate

Han gav alla en hel del halm för att mata hästarna. Tenali Raman var inte nöjd med denna plan eftersom han inte visste så mycket om uppfödning av hästar. Han stängde sin häst i en stall. Varje dag klockan nio klockan gav han hästen lite sugrör genom fönstret.

 

At the end of one month, the king wanted to see all the horses. All the courtiers were giving a lot of straw to the horses to become stronger. They brought their horses and the King was very happy.

Tenali Rama did not bring his horse. The King asked, “Where is your horse, Tenali Raman?”

Translate

I slutet av en månad ville kungen se alla hästarna. Alla hovmännen gav mycket halm till hästarna för att bli starkare. De tog med sina hästar och kungen var väldigt glad.

Tenali Rama tog inte med sin häst. Kungen frågade: “Var är din häst, Tenali Raman?”

 

He replied, “My King, my horse had become so strong that I could not bring it to the court. Can you ask the inspector to come tomorrow morning at nine to see the horse?”

Translate

Han svarade: ”Min kung, min häst hade blivit så stark att jag inte kunde ta den till domstolen. Kan du be inspektören att komma imorgon morgon klockan nio för att se hästen? ”

 

The king was surprised on hearing this and said, “Agreed. The inspector will come to your house at nine to inspect the horse.”

Translate

Kungen blev förvånad över att höra detta och sa: ”Höll med. Inspektören kommer till ditt hus klockan nio för att inspektera hästen. ”

 

The next morning, the inspector went to Tenali’s house. The inspector had a long beard. Tenali took him to the stable where the horse was kept.

He asked the inspector, “You can look through the window and see the horse”.

Translate

Nästa morgon gick inspektören till Tenalis hus. Inspektören hade ett långt skägg. Tenali tog honom till stallen där hästen förvarades.

Han frågade inspektören, “Du kan titta genom fönstret och se hästen”.

 

The inspector peeped through the window and his beard went in through the window first. Seeing the beard, the horse thought that it must be straw that was being given to him at the fixed time. It caught hold of the beard in his teeth and pulled.

Translate

Inspektören kikade genom fönstret och hans skägg gick först in genom fönstret. När han såg skägget tänkte hästen att det måste vara halm som gavs honom vid den fasta tiden. Det grep skägget i hans tänder och drog.

 

The inspector shouted in pain and tried to pull his beard back. The horse knew that this was the only food he would get all day and pulled with all its might till the inspector lost his beard.

Translate

Inspektören skrek av smärta och försökte dra tillbaka skägget. Hästen visste att detta var den enda maten han skulle få hela dagen och drog med all sin kraft tills inspektören tappade skägget.

 

The inspector went running to the king and reported that indeed Tenali Raman’s horse was the strongest of them all.

Translate

Inspektören sprang till kungen och rapporterade att Tenali Ramans häst verkligen var den starkaste av dem alla.
