This happened when God Ganesh was a small kid . God Ganesh was a prankster . He used to trouble his mother Goddess Parvati a lot . Though she was scolding him for what he did , she was also enjoying it .
One day God Ganesh was alone in the house . No friends to be seen . So he came outside and playing with himself . That time he heard the loud sound of someone blowing a conch .
Ganesh was highly impressed by the sound . He never heard the sound before . He went in search of the source of sound . It was coming from Vaikuntha .
Vaikuntha is the place where his uncle God Vishnu resides . The place is not unfamiliar to him . He directly went inside to know what is happening .
There Ganesh saw his uncle God Vishnu blowing the conch . He hid himself in a corner and stood watching his uncle . After some time , unaware of Ganesh's presence , God Vishnu kept conch aside and started meditating .
Ganesh came near conch and lifted it . Without disturbing his uncle he was on his way to home . After completing his meditation, God Vishnu opened his eyes .
He looked for his conch . It was not seen anywhere . This made God Vishnu a bit anxious . That time itself , he heard someone blowing conch repetitively . God Vishnu was sure that it is his missing conch . Sound was coming from kailash .
God Vishnu hurriedly went to Kailash which is also the home of his nephew Ganesh . There he saw Ganesh playing with conch by blowing it continuously .
God Vishnu came near Ganesh and patted him affectionately . Then he asked Ganesh to give the conch to him as it belongs to him . But Ganesh refused !!
God Vishnu tried to divert Ganesh's attention on some other object . But Ganesh was very adamant and was not at all ready to shift his focus on other things .
God Vishnu was exhausted by this time . He went inside the house . There he saw Ganesh's parents God Shiva and Goddess Parvati . God Vishnu went near them and complained that Ganesh is playing with his conch and refusing to return it .
God Shiva thought for some time and said if God Vishnu pleases him by some way then Ganesh will give the conch in return . Likewise God Vishnu recited shlokas praising God Ganesh and showered flowers on him .
By this time , Ganesh was pleased and he returned the conch to God Vishnu .
