Lesson 11 FEARLESS PRINCE VARDHAMAN
There was a big banyan tree. One day, while Prince Vardhaman and his young friends were playing there, they saw a black snake. The snake had
yellow eyes, and it was hissing.
His friends got scared. Some started to run away, while
others climbed up the banyan tree. Only Vardhaman remained calm. He went near the snake. He gently picked up the snake and placed it far away without hurting it. All
of his friends were relieved. Vardhaman told them that they should be brave, and not
fearful.
