The Brahmin and the Devil – Moral Story for Kids
A Brahmin walks through a dense forest.
A devil spots the Brahmin from a tall tree.
Once upon a time, there was a Brahmin walking through a forest. From the top of a tree, a devil spotted him.
The devil suddenly jumps onto the Brahmin’s shoulders.
He thought, “Hmm… this person could be useful to me!”
The Brahmin asks the devil who he is and what he wants.
When the Brahmin approached the tree, the devil jumped onto his shoulders.
The devil declares himself the king of devils.
The frightened Brahmin asked, “Hey! What are you doing? Who are you?”
The Brahmin walks with the devil still on his shoulders.
The devil laughed and replied, “Hahaha! I am the king of devils. Now keep walking, and don’t ask questions!”
The Brahmin notices the devil’s feet feel soft like butter.
The Brahmin realized it was an unlucky day for him and continued walking with the devil on his shoulders.
The Brahmin asks why the devil’s feet are so soft.
After a while, he noticed how soft the devil’s feet felt and thought, “Hmm… the devil’s feet are as soft as butter.”
The devil explains he made a vow not to touch the ground.
Curious, he asked, “May I ask you a question?” The devil said, “Go ahead, ask me!”
The Brahmin offers to carry the devil to the lake.
The Brahmin inquired, “Why are your feet so soft?”
The Brahmin walks to the lake while thinking of escaping.
The devil explained, “Long ago, I made a vow not to touch the ground until I washed my feet in the nearby lake. That is why I can’t walk—I haven’t washed my feet yet.”
The devil asks the Brahmin to wait while he washes his feet.
The Brahmin said, “Do you want me to take you to the lake?” The devil agreed.
The devil begins washing his feet in the lake.
As the Brahmin walked toward the lake, he began thinking of a plan to escape.
The devil secretly plans to kill the Brahmin afterward.
When they reached the lake, the devil said, “Carry me to the edge of the water and wait here while I wash my feet and pray to God.”
The Brahmin senses danger and thinks wisely.
The devil thought, “Poor fellow! He doesn’t know that I will kill him after my bath.”
The Brahmin runs away while the devil is in the water.
Meanwhile, the Brahmin thought, The devil will surely kill me when he returns.
The devil cannot follow because it would break his vow.
As soon as the devil jumped into the lake to wash his feet, the Brahmin seized the opportunity.
The Brahmin escapes safely from the dangerous devil.
He ran as fast as he could, knowing the devil wouldn’t chase him because that would break his vow.
The devil remains behind, frustrated and defeated.
The devil, afraid of touching the ground before completing his vow, did not chase the Brahmin.
