Ins[iration Bytes: The Brahmin and the demon

The Brahmin and the demon.

A Brahmin once lived in a region surrounded by forests, which was also home to a demon.

One day the demon found the Brahmin wandering alone and at once sat on the Brahmin’s shoulders and ordered him to move forward.

The Brahmin was very afraid and obeyed the demon’s command helplessly. The Brahmin noticed that the demon’s feet were very soft and curiously enquired about this.

The foolish demon replied, “I have taken a vow that I will not touch the ground with my wet feet.”

The Brahmin was thinking of a plan to free him from the clutches of the demon. As the Brahmin passed by a lake, the demon expressed his desire to have a bath. He instructed the Brahmin to stay there until he returned from his bath .The Brahmin knew that after his bath, the demon would certainly devour him. Suddenly he remembered the demon’s vow. So he ran away knowing fully well that the demon would not chase him with wet feet.
