About this video

Monkeys have taken over the mango tree, leaving its ripe fruit out of the villagers' reach. Chatur Kisan Aur Bandar is a Hindi moral story about a farmer who wins a tree full of ripe mangoes from a monkey troop without climbing it. Chatur Kisan Aur Bandar, the clever farmer and the monkeys, is a Hindi kahani about a farmer named Kabir who never rushes. In a small village his neighbours praise him because he stops, thinks, and then acts, and his field shows it: every bed is watered and every crop is cared for by hand. One hot afternoon his wife brings his lunch to the field, and with it one ripe, sweet, juicy mango. Kabir eats it slowly on the edge of his field and the smell drifts across the crops. The seed is left in his hand, so he throws it onto the damp bank of the pond nearby and forgets about it. Rain comes, sun follows, and a tiny sapling pushes out of that wet soil. Over the years it grows into a dense, strong mango tree whose branches lean over the pond and give travellers cool shade. Then one season the flowers appear, the raw fruit swells, and the mangoes ripen yellow and sweet. Their smell brings a troop of monkeys, and the monkey troop makes the high branches its home. Now nobody can go near the tree, and the ripe mangoes hang in plain sight, out of everyone's reach. Kabir sits under the tree one day and simply watches. He decides that climbing is not the answer; he wants the monkeys to send the mangoes down themselves. His eye falls on the soft soil of his field, and a simple trick takes shape. He rolls small balls of mud, tosses the first mud ball gently towards an empty branch, then a second, and waits with full patience. The startled monkeys copy him at once. They pluck ripe mangoes and throw them at the farmer below, one after another, until a heap of golden fruit lies on the ground. Kabir puts the mud away, the monkeys calm down, and he gathers every mango without climbing a single branch. The villagers who come running understand the lesson at once: the clever farmer solved a hard problem with patience and wisdom, not force. That is the moral of this Indian folk tale. Think it through, stay calm, and almost every problem has a way out. Watch the full animated Hindi story and tell us in the comments where patience has worked better than force in your own life.

Hindi transcript

The narration as spoken, from the caption track uploaded with this video.

  1. 0:04.1 एक छोटे गाँव में कबीर नाम का किसान रहता था, जिसकी सूझबूझ कठिन काम भी आसान कर देती थी।
  2. 0:11.142 वह जल्दबाजी से नहीं, हर काम के पहले ठहरकर सोचता और फिर समझदारी से सही कदम उठाता था।
  3. 0:18.734 वह अपने खेत की मिट्टी, पानी और हर फसल का पूरे मन और सावधानी से ध्यान रखता था।
  4. 0:25.775 उसकी मेहनत और समझदारी देखकर आसपास के लोग अक्सर खुले मन से उसकी प्रशंसा किया करते थे।
  5. 0:32.817 एक तपती दोपहर कबीर अपने खेत में काम करते हुए बड़ी लगन से क्यारियों की देखभाल कर रहा था।
  6. 0:39.526 तभी उसकी पत्नी घर से दोपहर का भोजन लाई, और साथ में एक पका, मीठा और रसदार आम भी लाई।
  7. 0:47.164 दिन भर की मेहनत के बाद कबीर खेत की मेड़ पर बैठा और शांत मन से अपना भोजन करने लगा।
  8. 0:53.595 भोजन के अंत में उसने रस से भरा मीठा आम खाया, जिसकी मधुर सुगंध सारे खेत में फैल गई।
  9. 1:00.637 आम खाने के बाद गुठली उसके हाथ में बची, तो उसने उसे पास वाले तालाब के किनारे फेंक दिया।
  10. 1:07.262 गुठली तालाब किनारे की नम मिट्टी में जा गिरी, जहाँ धूप और पानी दोनों मिलते थे।
  11. 1:13.303 समय बीतता गया; बरसातें आईं, धूप खिली, और उसी नम मिट्टी से एक नन्हा पौधा निकल आया।
  12. 1:21.684 कुछ वर्षों में वह नन्हा पौधा बढ़ते-बढ़ते घना, हरा और मजबूत आम का पेड़ बन गया।
  13. 1:28.267 उसकी फैली शाखाएँ तालाब के पानी पर झुकतीं, और राहगीरों को ठंडी छाया देती थीं।
  14. 1:34.309 फिर एक सुहाना मौसम आया, जब हरे पत्तों के बीच छोटे फूल और कच्चे आम दिखाई दिए।
  15. 1:41.351 धीरे-धीरे वे आम पककर पीले हुए, और उनकी मीठी सुगंध पूरे खेत की हवा में भर गई।
  16. 1:47.892 रसीले फलों की खुशबू पाकर कई बंदर उस पेड़ पर आए और उसकी ऊँची डालियों पर रहने लगे।
  17. 1:55.392 पेड़ उन्हें फल, छाया और सुरक्षित डालियाँ देता था, इसलिए वे उसे अपना घर मान बैठे।
  18. 2:01.433 बंदर दिन भर शाखाओं पर रहते, इसलिए कोई व्यक्ति आम तोड़ने पास नहीं जा पाता था।
  19. 2:06.935 पके आम सामने लटकते रहे, पर पेड़ पर बसे बंदरों के कारण वे सबकी पहुँच से बाहर थे।
  20. 2:13.977 एक दिन कबीर काम से विश्राम लेकर अपने खेत में बैठा और उस आम के पेड़ को देखने लगा।
  21. 2:20.408 ऊपर बंदर निश्चिंत बैठे थे और नीचे पके आमों की मीठी सुगंध हवा में तैर रही थी।
  22. 2:27.45 कबीर ने जल्दबाजी करने के बजाय शांत होकर परिस्थिति को ध्यान से समझना शुरू किया।
  23. 2:33.491 पेड़ पर चढ़ना ठीक नहीं; मुझे ऐसा उपाय चाहिए, जिससे बंदर स्वयं आम नीचे गिरा दें।
  24. 2:39.533 तभी उसकी नजर खेत की नरम मिट्टी पर पड़ी, और उसके मन में एक सरल युक्ति कौंध गई।
  25. 2:46.01 कबीर ने झुककर मिट्टी के छोटे-छोटे नरम गोले बनाए और उन्हें अपनी हथेली पर सँभालकर रख लिया।
  26. 2:53.052 उसने पहला मिट्टी का गोला बंदरों से बहुत दूर, पेड़ की एक खाली शाखा की ओर उछाला।
  27. 2:59.093 गोला पत्तों के बीच लगा तो हरी डालियाँ हिलीं, और ऊपर बैठे बंदर अचानक चौंक गए।
  28. 3:05.759 उन्हें बिल्कुल समझ नहीं आया कि नीचे बैठा किसान मिट्टी के गोले क्यों उछाल रहा था।
  29. 3:11.801 कबीर ने वैसा ही दूसरा गोला खाली डाल की ओर फेंका और पूरे धैर्य से वहीं खड़ा रहा।
  30. 3:18.467 उलझे हुए बंदरों ने तुरंत उसकी नकल में पके आम तोड़े और किसान की ओर उछालने लगे।
  31. 3:25.133 एक चमकीला पीला आम सरसराते पत्तों से निकलकर कबीर के पास नरम मिट्टी पर आ गिरा।
  32. 3:32.175 फिर दूसरे बंदर भी वैसा करने लगे, और एक के बाद एक रसीले आम लगातार नीचे आने लगे।
  33. 3:39.216 कबीर सावधानी से थोड़ा पीछे हटा, जबकि पके आम उसके चारों ओर धरती पर बिखरते गए।
  34. 3:46.258 कुछ ही देर में पेड़ के नीचे पके आमों का ढेर लग गया, और उसकी युक्ति सफल हो गई।
  35. 3:52.3 अपना उद्देश्य पूरा होते ही कबीर ने मिट्टी के गोले रखना बंद किया, और बंदर शांत हो गए।
  36. 3:58.966 उसने बिना पेड़ पर चढ़े सभी गिरे हुए आम समेटे और उन्हें पास की एक साफ जगह रख दिया।
  37. 4:06.007 यह अनोखा दृश्य देखकर आसपास के गाँव वाले कबीर के पास बड़ी उत्सुकता से इकट्ठा हुए।
  38. 4:12.673 सबने समझा कि चतुर किसान ने बल के बजाय धैर्य और सूझबूझ से वह कठिनाई दूर की थी।
  39. 4:19.715 गाँव वालों ने फिर उसकी बुद्धिमानी की प्रशंसा की, और कबीर विनम्रता से मुस्कराया।
  40. 4:25.757 कहानी की सीख है कि सोच-समझकर और धैर्य रखकर हर समस्या का हल निकाला जा सकता है।

In a small village lived a farmer named Kabir, whose cleverness made even difficult tasks easy. He did not act in haste; before every task, he would pause to think and then wisely take the right step. He took care of his field's soil, water, and every crop wholeheartedly and carefully. Seeing his hard work and wisdom, the people around him would often praise him openly. One scorching afternoon, while working in his field, Kabir was tending to the crop beds with great dedication. Just then, his wife brought lunch from home, and along with it, a ripe, sweet, and juicy mango. After a day of hard work, Kabir sat on the ridge of the field and began eating his meal with a peaceful mind. At the end of the meal, he ate the sweet, juice-filled mango, whose sweet fragrance spread throughout the field. After eating the mango, the pit remained in his hand, so he threw it on the bank of a nearby pond. The pit fell into the moist soil on the edge of the pond, where it received both sunlight and water. Time passed; the rains came, the sun shone, and a tiny plant sprouted from that moist soil. In a few years, that tiny plant grew into a dense, green, and strong mango tree. Its spreading branches bowed over the pond's water and provided cool shade to passersby.

Then came a pleasant season when small flowers and raw mangoes appeared among the green leaves. Gradually, those mangoes ripened and turned yellow, and their sweet fragrance filled the air of the entire field. Attracted by the scent of the juicy fruits, many monkeys came to that tree and started living on its high branches. The tree gave them fruit, shade, and safe branches, so they considered it their home. The monkeys stayed on the branches all day, so no one could go near to pluck the mangoes. The ripe mangoes hung right in front of them, but due to the monkeys living on the tree, they were out of everyone's reach. One day, taking a break from work, Kabir sat in his field and began looking at that mango tree. Above, the monkeys sat carefree, and below, the sweet fragrance of ripe mangoes floated in the air. Kabir, instead of acting in haste, stayed calm and began to carefully assess the situation. Climbing the tree is not right; I need a solution so that the monkeys drop the mangoes down themselves. Just then, his eyes fell on the soft soil of the field, and a simple idea flashed in his mind. Kabir bent down, made small, soft balls of mud, and carefully held them in his palm. He tossed the first mud ball far away from the monkeys, towards an empty branch of the tree. When the ball hit among the leaves, the green branches shook, and the monkeys sitting above were suddenly startled. They could not understand at all why the farmer sitting below was tossing mud balls.

Kabir threw another similar ball towards the empty branch and stood there with complete patience. The confused monkeys immediately imitated him, plucking ripe mangoes and tossing them towards the farmer. A bright yellow mango emerged from the rustling leaves and fell onto the soft soil near Kabir. Then the other monkeys started doing the same, and one after another, juicy mangoes continuously began falling down. Kabir carefully stepped back a little, while ripe mangoes scattered on the ground all around him. In a short while, a pile of ripe mangoes formed under the tree, and his trick was successful. As soon as his purpose was fulfilled, Kabir stopped keeping the mud balls, and the monkeys calmed down. Without climbing the tree, he gathered all the fallen mangoes and placed them in a clean spot nearby. Seeing this unique sight, the nearby villagers gathered around Kabir with great curiosity. Everyone understood that the clever farmer had overcome that difficulty with patience and wisdom instead of force. The villagers then praised his intelligence, and Kabir smiled humbly. The moral of the story is that by thinking carefully and keeping patience, a solution to every problem can be found.
