Once upon a time, in the grand kingdom of Hastinapur, lived Bhima, the mighty son of Kunti. Bhima was known for his strength and his love for food. He would eat as much as ten people! One day, the royal family had a grand feast, and all the children of Hastinapur were invited.
“Bhima, you’ve eaten more than anyone else again!” laughed his brother Arjuna, as Bhima devoured his twelfth plate of sweets.
But Bhima wasn’t full. He wanted more! As he looked around the palace grounds, he noticed something huge in the distance. It was an enormous elephant named Gajendra, roaming through the fields.
“I want to show off my strength!” Bhima declared. He quickly rushed over to the elephant, who was munching on grass.
“Hello, Gajendra! How about a friendly competition? Let’s see who’s stronger—me or you!” Bhima challenged with a big smile.
The elephant raised its trunk and snorted. “I’m very strong, little Bhima. But if you want to try, I won’t stop you!”
The two began their friendly tug-of-war. Bhima grabbed the elephant’s trunk, and Gajendra tugged back with all his might. The ground shook with each pull, and the royal family watched in amazement.
With a mighty roar, Bhima gave one last tug—and whoosh! The elephant was pulled off its feet and onto the soft grass!
Everyone cheered! “Bhima, you’re the strongest!” Arjuna said, clapping his hands.
Bhima beamed proudly. “Gajendra was a good sport! But next time, maybe I’ll try tugging with a tree!”
And so, Bhima’s strength became famous all over the kingdom, and he was known as the mightiest warrior of Hastinapur.
Moral of the Story: True strength comes from kindness and fair play, not just muscle!
