Let us enjoy reading this Raman Story of Rama Climbs Out of Trouble .
Tenali Raman once incurred the displeasure of the king, and the monarch ordered him to quit his dominions. Some days later as the king was riding through a forest, he saw a man, who on seeing the king, promptly climbed up a tree. The king stopped under the tree and looking up saw that it was Tenali Raman. "You are still here!" he thundered. "Did l not tell you to leave my kingdom?" "You did, Your Majesty," said Raman. "Accordingly, I traveled all over the world, but wherever I went l learnt that l was still in your dominions. Now the only thing left for me to do is to go to Heaven, and as you can see l have already made a start in that direction." The king laughed and forgave the jester.
