It was a long time ago. There was a tavern on the side of a road leading to a city. The city could be reached quickly by that road, but few people came and went on that road. The reason was that there was a dense forest in that path. Sometimes violent animals attacked the pedestrians, which also led to the death of the wanderers. That is why people were hesitant to go to the city by that road out of fear of life. Those who were urgent or in a hurry, they used to go to the city with their lives in their palms on that road.
There was not much traffic on that road, so very few people came to the inn. The owner of the inn often used to sit and kill the fly.
The owner of the inn was a good man. His heart was an ocean of mercy. He was very nice to those who came to the inn. There was no dearth of respect for him. Even if someone did not have full money after living and eating in the inn, he would never treat him badly. Many poor people used to come there. When all of them could not pay proper money on time, then the owner of the inn would get them some work done.
One day a wanderer came to stay in the inn. His name was Savant, He was a potter of the caste. He used to make and sell earthen pots, balls, Kali, etc. He came to the inn and had food and slept there at night. People used to give money to the innkeeper before leaving in the morning, but he did not have the money. Savant, had heard that the innkeeper was a very generous person. If someone praises him, he becomes very happy. Then he does not commit atrocities for money. On leaving the inn in the morning, Savant, said to the innkeeper, "Everyone praises you. I have also seen that you are a very nice man. Serve the customers like your own people. Ordinarily, this is not seen anywhere. I don't have money to give you, but there is some less expensive pottery. But they won't make up for your money. I have some colored chalky clay pieces. That's all I can give you."
The innkeeper was enchanted by hearing his praise from the Savant's mouth. He said, "I don't need all these things' brother! You don't have money, so what? You can go." Savant said, "You keep the colored chalk clay. These are magical chalk clay.
Many wonderful works are done by this." Saying this, he made a picture of a bird on the wall with colored chalky clay. By applying different colors to the body of the bird, it was seen that it has become a peacock. Seeing the picture, the innkeeper said, You have made a very beautiful picture. Just like a peacock picture. The feudal lord said, "What else can happen, look ahead! I will bring the peacock in this picture to life saying this, he looked at the picture and clapped twice. Spreading his wings, he started dancing.
Everyone was surprised to see the peacock dancing in the picture. The picture could also be alive, no one had heard of it. Everyone started praising Samantha's amazing ability. Then the Savant said, “Now look, the living peacock in the picture will become the picture again!” He clapped thrice, saying this. Suddenly the peacock engulfed the wall as before and became a picture.
The feudal lord said to the innkeeper, "I am going to give you this magic peacock. When you clap twice, the peacock will come down from the wall and start dancing. When you clap three times, the peacock will become the same picture again. This peacock is yours." Will do a lot of favors. People will throng your tavern to watch the peacock dance.
Then remember one thing. If there is only one person in this room, it will be a disaster. The peacock will be alive, but will die immediately." After that, the Savant went away with a farewell from the innkeeper. From that day, the innkeeper started showing his customers the dance of the peacock. When the customer sat down to eat, he would say, "Look, I'll play a magic game for you guys to enjoy.
You will not see such a game in any tavern." Saying this, he stood in front of the picture of the wall and clapped twice. Immediately, the peacock in the picture came alive and slowly descended to the ground and started dancing.
The customers used to watch the dance of the peacock in surprise, forgetting to eat the food. For a while, the innkeeper would clap three times. Soon, the dancing peacock would fit into the wall and become a picture It doesn't take long for such a surprising phenomenon to spread.
Whoever listened, would be stunned. Day by day, the crowd of people started increasing in the inn. Everyone would come to see the magical peacock dance. They would eat their food quickly. He would have paid the food money in full, then requested to see the dance of the peacock.
The innkeeper then performed a peacock dance to satisfy his customers. Soon people started gathering in that neglected inn. The fate of the innkeeper woke up. Now he had become very rich.
One day in the night a man came to the inn. He was a wealthy merchant from another country. He said to the innkeeper, "I have heard that a magic peacock dance in this inn of yours! Is it true" The innkeeper said, "Yes, it is absolutely true." The merchant said, "I will watch the peacock dance.
For this, I will give you a bag of the gold seal." The innkeeper said, "You wait a while. And if some people come, I will show everyone the dance together." The merchant said, "No-no. There will be no man. I want to see the magic peacock dance alone.
Take this bag of gold seals." The innkeeper was overjoyed to find a bag of gold stamps. He did not remember the words of the potter feud. He said, "Sit down. I'll show you the peacock's dance now. This one you see on the wall of the peacock, I'll make it alive.
Then he'll dance around and around." Saying this, he clapped twice. Then the peacock in the picture started moving, but he did not jump to the ground. It seemed as if he was having a lot of trouble moving. Slowly, with great pain, he landed on the ground, but could not dance. He started trembling while standing, then by rolling to one side he gave up his life. In an instant, all the things happened.
The peacock engulfed the ground and remained as a picture. The merchant hurriedly snatched the sealed bag from the innkeeper's hand and roared with anger, "This is your peacock-dance? To show this, you took a bag of gold stamps? Have you considered me arrogant? Totally foolish." Saying this, he left the inn and started walking with fast steps. The innkeeper remembered the words of the potter feudal lord.
He started beating his head and saying, "Hi! Hi! Why did I fall in love with the gold seal? The potter Savant forbade me to show the peacock dance in front of a person. Why did I invite apocalypse by ignoring him? Hi! Hi! Now no customer will come to my tavern." The innkeeper applauded several times with great hope, but the peacock in the picture did not survive. The night had long passed.
The innkeeper was in a deep sleep. Then he suddenly broke his sleep after hearing the sound of a flute. To see who was playing the flute at his door that night, he opened the door and came out. Look, the same feudal lord is playing the flute. He came in through the open door and, standing near the picture of the peacock, started playing the flute. In no time, the peacock came alive. He disappeared into the darkness of the night, following the feudal lord. After that, no one saw him again.
