Eat Jilebi from Chana!

 In olden days, boys had their learning in ‘Gurukulas’. They stayed in the house of the Guru or Teacher and had their education. They also learnt how to live a good life.

 One day, after their lunch, the guru gave a packet of chana(huri-kadalay,in Kannada or fried Bengal-gram in English) to each boy and told,”Eat Jilebi from this”.As you know, Jilebi is a delicious sweets . So the boys were excited. But how to make Jilebi out of chana?. Some boys rushed to “Mother”, the lady of the house, with the chana packet and asked her to make jilebi out of it. She said, making Jilebi is a lengthy process and, she does not know how to make jilebi from chana. The boys sadly returned to their rooms and started eating the chana as it was; there was nothing special like Jilebi.

In the evening , the boys were playing games. The guru called the boys and asked if they had eaten

 Jilebi ? Only one boy came forward and said “Sir, here is the packet of chana. After the games, I will feel hungry. Then I will eat it and then,chana will taste as sweet as Jilebi!

You will enjoy a thing most, when you are in real need of it.
