Shera Breaks a Bad Habit
Champak
|December First 2024
It was December, and a cold wave settled upon Chandanvan. Prime Minister Shera discovered that his once-luxurious velvet quilt was now stained with mildew after being stored in the damp basement.
He summoned his assistant, Benny bear, "Hang this quilt out in the sun. After that, you can keep it for yourself. I've called Jambu giraffe to design a new quilt for me. His quilts are in high demand!"
Benny replied, "Sir, this quilt was purchased only last year. I can get it drycleaned, it'll be as good as new. You can still use it."
Shera insisted, "I'll get a new one made.
I'm curious to see why Jambu's quilts are so popular."
Benny was thrilled. He had always wanted to use a velvet quilt in the cold weather, and the Prime Minister had fulfilled his wish. He thanked the Prime Minister Shera, to which he replied, "It's good that you took the quilt. I'm not one to hoard things. I'll be happy if it's of use to you!"
A little later, Jambu giraffe arrived. He explained the special features of his quilt, "Your Majesty! The best thing about my quilt is that whoever uses it falls into such a deep sleep that all their exhaustion just melts away."
Shera responded, "Oh! I have been struggling to sleep. Sleeping in the cold weather is wonderful, but my mind is always busy. Maybe your quilt will help!"
"If you don't fall asleep using my quilt, I will give you a lifetime supply of quilts for free!" Jambu reassured the Prime Minister and promised to deliver the quilt in two days.
