00:00A wise decision
00:02In Bheemunipatnam, there was a village elder named Sajithananda Varma
00:07He was known to be a good advocate for the people of the village
00:12One day, when he was going to the market, he saw two people arguing on the road
00:18One of them was a landlord and the other was a worker carrying rice bags
00:24The reason for the argument was that the worker was carrying a heavy rice bag
00:29and it slipped and fell on the landlord's hen
00:34The landlord said to the worker,
00:37You have killed my hen unjustly
00:39At least, in a year, how many eggs will that hen lay?
00:42Give me that much money
00:44The worker said,
00:46Sir, I am a beggar. I can't give you that much money
00:49By mistake, my bag slipped and fell on the hen. Please forgive me
00:53He said, I can only pay the hen's price
00:56In the meantime, people saw Sajithananda Varma coming there and hoped that he would solve the problem
01:03The landlord and the worker explained everything that happened to Sajithananda Varma
01:08After thinking for a while, Sajithananda Varma agreed to the landlord's argument
01:14The worker told him that he had to pay 100 rupees including the hen's price and the hen's price for the whole year
01:23The people there were surprised to hear this
01:26They felt that his argument was unfair
01:29The worker was very disappointed
01:31Sajithananda Varma said, my argument is not over yet
01:36If you want to lay hen eggs with the landlord, you have to pay for it
01:41How much money does your hen eat in a year?
01:46The landlord said, two baskets
01:49Sajithananda Varma said, you give the value of those two baskets to the worker
01:55After understanding his argument, the landlord looked at him in amazement
01:59You are hoping for the benefit of your hen in the coming year
02:04What will be the cost of your hen for the whole year?
02:08Sajithananda Varma said, if you want to give the benefit of your hen to the worker, you have to pay for it
02:15The landlord agreed to pay more than 100 rupees for the hen
02:22The people there were happy to hear this
02:26The landlord agreed that he did not have to pay anything because the worker killed the hen by mistake
