“138th story”
First published: April.16.2020
Once upon a time,
There lived a poor boy with his mother. His mother was very sick, and the mother knew she would die soon.
The mother gave her son the only thing she had, “a ring” and said: “I give this ring to you now that you are mature, so you could sell it and invest in something. My son, you should start making money and build a better life for yourself.”
The mother died. The son went to a bigger city, sold the ring for one hundred coins paid half of the money for a considerable load of onion, and brought it into his village to sell it and make some profit.
Perchance no one in his town was interested in buying onion, and he was terrified. He went to the headman of his village and told his story.
The clever headman said: “How much is the price of your onion, per kilo?”
The boy said: “Half a coin.”
The headman said: “If you make a contract with me to give me half of your business profits, I will fix your problem.
The boy agreed.
The headman of the town said: “Change your price of each kilo from half a coin to five coins and put a limit of one kilo per person, only.”
The boy left to do what the headman asked him to.
The headman was a busy man and every day many people from the village came to him for their problems, so he started a rumour. “Did you know the onions of that boy is so special? Those onions can cure many diseases? I was coughing for two months and look at me, I’m cured. My wife’s long-time back pain is gone now.”
The rumour spread to other villages nearby. That boy continued his business for years and grew rich fast; of course, he always had to pay the headman’s share.

Different from your regular fables. This one seems to be a con job.
It was a con job, and we see it in our daily basis unfortunately. Thanks dear Ankur.🌺
Nice content 🙌
Thank you dear.🌹
I believe you might be referring here to the problem of getting masks, ventilators, and other critical medical supplies. now at an affordable price. And yet alcohol sales runs rampant.
The great thing about moral stories is that they always relate to politicians.🌷

On a side note…Onions are full of antioxidants – good for health. Eat in your salads or /and put it in your cooking.
Nice story! We all need to take advice from experts and pay the price.
😂😂😂true onions are very good for health.
Many people will believe anything if it sounds too good to be true. Taking someone’s best interests account in doing so apparently does not matter.
Exactly 😍
There is so much more to learn.
Means a lot dear.❤️
BUONA GIORNATA
