While surviving as such, the ants had to tackle a big challenge. They suffered during the rainy season due to the lack of food. The food stock hard earned during summer would be consumed, after which the ants would run out of food during the rainy season. Many of them, which went in search of food during the rainy days got washed away in rain and died. Poor ants did not know what to do to solve that problem and hence they were sad.

During such a rainy season, an ant found a huge amount of food. it was very happy but was worried as well, since it did not know how to carry all of that stuff to its home.

They moved togehter in a proper order and brought food to their residence. From that day onwards, they started moving around in a row always, started working as a team and lived a happy cordial life thereafter. ´´ 16 ´ «ðù£ H®ˆî ï†êˆFóƒèœ

He was waiting near the palace entrance. Once the king left the palace for patrol, the thief entered the palace in the king’s get up. The security man assumed him to be the king. Hence he opened the door for the impostor, who got inside the palace. ñÁ ÜF裬ôJ™ ïè˜õôˆ¬î º®ˆ¶‚ªè£‡ì Üóê˜ è£ƒ«èò¡, Üó‡ñ¬ùJ¡ Ü®J™ Þ¼‰î óèCò õN Íô‹ Üóê¬õ¬ò ܬì‰î£˜. ÜŠ«ð£¶î£¡ Üóê¬õ ªî£ìƒA Þ¼‰î¶.

“Hold on for a minute!”, said the minister. He checked the knuckle of their right index fingers. He knew a fact that the king had a mole on the right index finger knuckle. Amazing.... Both of them had moles on their hand, thanks to the make up of the impostor. Still it was not clear who was original and who was impersonating.

On the fifth day, Kangeyan reached the Royal Court in the morning, as usual. As it started raining, an idea flashed into the mind of the minister. He gave Kangeyan and the man on the throne, a horse each and told them to ride three full rounds of the palace. They also did so, after which the minister looked ݘò£ ´   21

at their faces deeply. Kangeyan’s face was normal, but wet. The impostor’s face had all the makeup compromised in lieu of the rain water, and his own face was visible. The minister checked for the moles, this time Kangeyan continued to have that mole, whereas the mole made up of ink on the hand of that impostor had been washed with the rain water. ܬñ„êK¡ àˆîóM¡ «ðK™,«ð£L ó£ü£¬õ‚ ¬è¶ ªêŒ¶ C¬øJ™ îœOM†´, 裃«èò¬ù e‡´‹ Üóêó£è º®Å†®ù£˜ ܬñ„ê˜. 裃«èò‹ ܬñ„ê¬óŠ ð£ó£†®, “àƒè÷£™î£¡ F¼ì‹ H®ð†ì£¡; â¡ù£½‹ e‡´‹ Üóêó£è º®‰î¶” â¡Á ðô ðK²è¬÷ õöƒAù£˜.Üî¡ Hø° 裃«èò‹, Üõó¶ ܬñ„꼋 «ê˜‰¶ ï¡° ݆C ªêŒîù˜.

The king and the minister teamed up and ruled well their country thereafter. ´´ 22 ´ «ðù£ H®ˆî ï†êˆFóƒèœ
