In a quiet little town surrounded by green hills and singing birds, Mansi and her family were living a peaceful life far from any danger or disturbance. She lived happily with her loving parents. Their days were full of joys, laughter, and beauty of blooming flowers in their garden. But one sunny afternoon everything changed. AH, yes, let's peep into the flashback.
One day Mansi was roaming around her house's garden picking flowers ,when she suddenly got kidnapped. Here's her ordeal where she managed to make a great escape. Though the kidnapper locked her into the dark room, thinking she was just a frightened girl. But she was no ordinary girl- she was sharp, brave and determined. She stayed calm and quiet, and after thinking for a while, she came up with a clever plan and when the night fell, she set her plan into action.. She went into the bedroom and set up pillows to make it look like she was sleeping. then, she dressed up in boy's clothes, she had secretly found and managed to escape through the window.
After escaping she walked for miles and finally, sought shelter in a distant village where no one knew her, where she started working as an innkeeper. Though she missed her family but she was determined that she will soon return back to her loving family. Months later, on a rainy evening a familiar face entered the inn. It was the same man who had kidnapped her once. Her heart pounced but she kept her calm decided to take her revenge this time. She offered him the attic room, pretending not to recognize him.
When he climbed the ladder to the attic, Mansi quickly removed it and scattered marbles on floor. After sometime same night, two men also came to stay for the night in their bullock cart. As we all know how clever and brave she was , she again came up with a brilliant plan to execute with the help of these two men. After offering room to those men also she waited calmly for the dawn. As soon as the dawn appeared those two men got their bullock cart ready to leave, but suddenly, she started shouting, "Oh no, the police is here looking for a kidnapper."
The kidnapper panicked and tried to flee, slipped on marbles , and fell to the ground bumping his head hard. Mansi quickly tied him up and put him in a huge sack and asked those two men to throw it in a river as there is only sand in this. Those two men agreed to her request while crossing the river threw that sack into it. after this she called the police. Everyone applauded her bravery and with the help of police she was also able to return back to her home and unite with her family.
After this their life resumed peacefully and, they were living happily ever after....until one day, her father bought a new house on the edge of town.
During the renovation of the house, he discovered a dusty, ancient box hidden in walls. Inside the box were numerous scorpions. He was startled and quickly closed the box, fearing that he bought a cursed house. The family lived in constant worry as some strange things started happening. objects moved on their own, shadows lingered longer than usual and air often felt heavy with secrets.
One fine day, a wise sage came to their door, asking for food and shelter. Mansi's father invited him inside the house and shared his worry and story. The sage listened carefully and said," Dear child why are you so troubled?"
After understanding their worries, the sage smiled gently and said, "It is just an enchantment. The treasure hidden in this house was placed by your ancestors and is protected by these scorpions, and when the right master will appear before this treasure it will be claimed and your house will be free."
Mansi's father, curious and relieved , decide to keep four of the scorpions in his shop as symbols of protection. Everyone who came by was puzzled and asked why there were scorpions on display. He simply smiled and gave no explanation.
Years passed, One day a poor young man came to his shop and asked for help. Mansi's father at first refused to help, but he replied, "You have so much wealth that you have displayed hanging money in your shop-are they not symbols of your riches? yet you refuse to help the needy."
His words pierced Mansi's father's heart and he immediately recalled the enlightened words of the sage who said that," Hang these scorpions in your shop and only the real descendent of this family will be able to recognize these scorpions as their own treasure and then you can easily make your house relieved of these scorpions after handing them to the right owner."
Humbled and realizing the truth , he handed over the treasure to the man. With the act of kindness the enchantment lifted. The scorpions vanished, and the house was filled with light and peace once again .The strange events stopped. From that day Mansi and her family learned a powerful lesson: true wealth is not in gold and gems, but in courage, wisdom and compassion passed down through generations. They all not only lived happily after these events but also wisely.
