The right will proves

The right will proves

　Once upon a time, in a quiet village, there lived an old man named Pandit. He was 90 years old and knew many things. He had a special chant that could make anybody listen. But he was careful because he knew this chant could be used for both good and bad.

　To find the right person to pass on his chant, Pandit called some smart boys from the village. He told them about the chant. He said that he would teach it to anyone, but he must finish a difficult task first.

　The boys were excited and were ready to prove themselves. Then Pandit spoke out the condition¹, “If any of you can sit quietly with me for the longest time without eating or drinking, I will teach you the chant.”

　The boys happily took the task and tried their best to do it. But as time passed, only one boy made it until the last minute.

　Seeing the boy’s strong will, Pandit shared the special chant with him. He knew it was in good hands.
