Blind following of other's work

                                   Blind following of other's work

Long ago , in a village there lived 2 men. They were friends. They are Ramanna and Somanna . Both were working in king's court as servants.
Their houses are also nearby . Though they were friends , their wives were not. If one lady buys something , in next moment itself , the other lady ought to have it. This mentality was not visible from the front but inside , the ladies were hating each other.
Once , both men had gone 2 court . That time, king had arranged a big meet of other kings in his palace.  Court was packed .Deep discussion was going on . That time itself, king had an urge to pass flatulence ! Now it is difficult to control this urge.
There was a sound but gratefully no smell !  Minister understood the situation. If he tells truth , king will be a laughing stock . Minister came forward and asked in a loud voice that who is responsible for this obstruction.? Ramanna had observed what had happened .
Ramanna came forward and apologized near king for his mistake . King was happy that Ramanna had taken the responsibility of whatever happened . As token of gratitude , he gave Ramanna many rewards. Though Somanna was present there , he was unaware of all these.
Ramanna came home with rewards. His wife was very happy by seeing the rewards. Ramanna said to her that he passed flatulence in King's court and also took the responsibility of that. Ramanna's wife went near Somanna's wife and showed her all the rewards.
Ramanna's wife didnt say full incident . She said Ramanna had passed flatulence in court and then took the responsibility . Hearing that , Somanna's wife was   very troubled.
As soon as her husband entered home, she narrated the entire incident and urged her husband to follow the same suit. Somanna did the same in very next day infront of everyone . This time , as Somanna's stomach was full , there was both sound and smell .!  King ordered his soldiers to punish Somanna for his misbehaviour !
Moral : Blindly following others work without knowing the reason , can be harmful .
