Everyday Bholu would go into the forest, stand under a mango tree and utter a charm. The tree would immediately become heavy with fruit. The next moment the mangoes would ripen and then they would fall to the ground. Bholu would collect them, eat some and distribute the rest among his neighbours who were poor.</p> <p>Keshav the youth fell at Bholu’s feet and begged him to teach him the charm. The man reluctantly agreed but warned him, &ldquo;You must never use the charm to satisfy your greed. Moreover, the charm will only work as long as you do not tell a lie.&rdquo;</p>https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/childrens-books/a-royal-diet-of-mangoes/Tue, 12 May 1998 18:36:58 +0000https://www.pitara.com/fiction-for-kids/childrens-books/a-royal-diet-of-mangoes/<figure class="w-64 sm:float-right sm:ml-4"> <a class="lightbox-link" href="https://www.pitara.com/media/books-8_1_hu_354e358083b270a.webp" aria-label="Link to larger image"> <img src="https://www.pitara.com/media/books-8_1_hu_72c9a8419eb86a9a.webp" width="150" height="170" alt="A Royal Diet of Mangoes []" loading="lazy"> </a> <figcaption> A Royal Diet of Mangoes [] </figcaption> </figure> <p><strong>Jungle and Backyard</strong><br> Written by M. Krishnan<br> Published by National Book Trust, New Delhi</p> <p>A thirsty, sweaty summer is here. You can see dogs with their tongues hanging out in the heat. Some of us would have done the same, but our tongues are busy tasting the king of all fruits – the mango. In fact, what makes summer bearable, is the mango. No one has said it better than wildlife expert M Krishnan.</p>
