Publisher's Notes
V&S Publishers has been in the forefront in publishing story books for children - under the imprint Gopu Books. Most books are educational, moral and value-based in nature. Nearly every book published under this imprint has been lapped up by parents and guardians on behalf of their children, both in English and Hindi versions. Since the dawn of time, parents have used stories with morals to teach children about the values of the family, about life, difference between right and wrong, good and bad. A story with a moral can help, more so contemporary ones with which children can relate conveniently. Unlike most prevalent books in the market that exist only for their entertainment value, this book Legendary Tales for Children offers to build strength of character and respect for others.
This book is a compilation of 50 one-page stories for children. Language used is elementary and simple. Each story comes with caricature based illustration in black & white – a presentation no other publisher has attempted before. Being different from the ordinary run of the mills type, the caricatures retain interest of young readers. The moral at the end of the story summaries precisely what the child is supposed to learn!
By reading stories, children will gather how characters deal with situations and work through issues, they gain experience without having to go through those conditions themselves. Their horizon is expanded that fits the ethos and mores of a traditional society like ours.
We would be glad to receive feedback from parents so that future publications retain the flavour of enlightened views that expand horizon of our young readers.

Silence of a Beggar
O ne fine day King Akbar called his court members to discuss a very important question, ‘if one has an encounter with a worthless and ill-mannered person, then what would be the right way of dealing with him?’ Someone in his court replied- one must beat a person like this in order to make him go away. And some other person in court said- one must imprison such an insolent individual. This discourse was going on suddenly, Beerbal entered the court. Therefore King asked same question to him. To that Beerbal replied-‘Your Majesty! This is indeed a very serious question. It requires a lot of reflection and deep evaluation, only then I can provide you with an answer tomorrow.’ And the King agreed to his term.
The very next day when Beerbal entered the court there was a man accompanying him. The man was bare-feet and was wearing an ordinary dress which wrapped his body. Beerbal addressed the King and said-‘Your Majesty! This person here is a very wise beggar. He is learned enough to answer your question. The King put his question across to this wise beggar. But the beggar did not answer King’s question. Then it occurred to king, maybe he did not get his question right. Therefore he repeated his question. Even then the beggar did not answer him. Now the King thought, maybe he has got some difficulty in hearing properly, so the King asked again in a very loud voice. Then Beeerbal had to intervene and he said, ‘Your Majesty! His answer remains in his silence itself. One must not entertain such a person. If one encounters such a fellow, then it is important to practice silence.’ The great King Akbar became very pleased after getting Beerbal’s clever reply. And the King praised Beerbal to a great deal in his court.

Moral
Silence is the answer to a baseless question.

An Eternal King
K ing Pratap Rai had only one concern for his subjects that is nobody should remain unhappy in his kingdom. The king would leave no edge in the up keep and security of his subjects. The subjects in his kingdom were very happy with their king and they would leave no chance to prove it to their beloved king. One day a group of sages came to this city. To see king’s dedication towards everyone, the sages decided to organize a twenty one days prayer ritual to honour the city and the king, which will make the king eternal. All the subjects of this kingdom were asked to give offerings for this ritual. On the twenty first day the king was required to come himself in order to give final offering. After getting the consent from king all necessary arrangements were made, the alter was set where the offerings were to be placed and with a lot of determination the ritual started.
Such a grand ritual can only happen once in a while. That is why people participated in it with a lot of enthusiasm and generously contributed for such a noble cause happily. Every subject of this happy kingdom gave offerings with great zeal and dedication. And finally the last day arrived. Everyone was waiting for King Pratap Rai to arrive, because after giving his final offering he would be made eternal, as the one who would never be dead. Finally the king reached but it was long after the auspicious time had ended. The king asked for pardon in front of his subject and said, ‘without any warning our neighbouring country had attacked us. I had to defeat our enemy hence I went to the battle field to give them a good fight. In the greed of becoming eternal I could not have put my country men and their lives in danger.’ His praise was sung everywhere that even it was echoing in the sky. Such a king will always remain and remembered as the most efficient ruler in the eyes of his subjects eternally.

Moral
Real eternity can only be achieved with people’s gratitude and by working for their wellbeing.

Authority and Duty
K ing Yashovardan decided used to change his garb and used to go out in disguise to know how his subjects were living in his state. One day the king got into his disguise and went out on an inspection. He saw a band of people were beating up a person and they were dragging him to some place. King stopped someone and asked why was this person being beaten up? That person told him, the man who was being beaten up was a poor man; he lifted food from some shop and ate it without paying for it, and the person who is beating him up is the shopkeeper himself. Then king asked his next question where he was taken to? He was told the man was taken to the city police station where police in charge will be resting comfortably for sure. After listening to all this immediately king dropped of his garb and showed his appearance as a king. As soon as the shop keeper recognised it was king he stopped beating that man
