Tenali Raman Gets a Gift From Maa Kaali

Once, Tenali Raman was granted a wish by the goddess Maa Kaali herself. She placed two bowls in front of him. One bowl contained milk, and the other curd. If he drank the milk, he would gain knowledge, and if he drank curd, he would drink wealth. Maa Kaali asked him to choose one. Tenali Raman asked her if he could taste both bowls before he could decide, and Maa Kaali agreed. Before she could stop him, Tenali drank the contents of both the bowls. When the annoyed goddess asked him why he disobeyed her, he told her that there was no use of knowledge without wealth and vice-versa. She was impressed and blessed him to become a great poet who will be known for his intellect and sense of humour. 

Moral
Never hesitate to take a bold step and speak your mind.
