Scene181 Arjun's first bedtime story
Arjun: Please tell me that elephant and ant story no pleaseee sir (and makes a kid face)
PRS smiles: Ok, Once there was an elephant who was very proud of his might and even lions were scared of him. He never allowed other animals to drink in peace near the pond. So all forest animals gather and decide to challenge him for a duel. But no animal is ready to fight him as they are scared for their life. So a red ant decides that he will fight with the elephant.
Arjun fully engrossed in story, now has pushed his dinner plate and sitting with his face between both hands like a kid. This is his first bedtime story in life ever although there is no bed to sleep and listen.
Arjun fully curious like a 4-5 year old kid: Then, ant fought with elephant
PRS: Yes, elephant started laughing seeing an ant challenging him. But the ant got into his trunk and bite him, then climbed his ear and irritated him. The elephant flapped his ear but ant never fell. The elephant was so irritated and in pain from the ant bites that after 10 minutes he accepted defeat and promised never to disturb any animal who comes to pond to drink.
Arjun so excited he claps his hands in glee: Very nice story
PRs smiles at him seeing him clap like small kid listening to the story
Arjun sheepishly: Sorry Raj and Gunjan keep clapping after listening to stories so I also thought
PRS: You are very innocent Arjun, a kid at heart. Be careful, the world is very cruel may take you for a ride
PRS: So, what is the moral of my story?
Arjun: The elephant is not mightier than the ant
PRS: No, no matter how small or insignificant you are you can defeat a mighty person or animal using your brains
Arjun: Very nice story and moral Sir. I will do as per your advice. I will think carefully and plan so that my enemy is destroyed without any violence and accepts his own defeat
PRS: Very good young man. You learn fast. Now, have your dinner fast (ordering tone like parents do to kids)
After 15-20 minutes both finish dinner
Arjun: What about bill? Sir
PRS: Bill, not required. I own this hotel
Arjun: Such a huge hotel is yours. It's a 7 star hotel.
PRS: Yes
PRS: I will tell my driver to drop you home OK
Arjun: No Sir, I will go in taxi
PRS ordering tone: No. my driver will drop you home
PRS calls his driver and tells him to leave Arjun home that too till inside his house (He feels Arjun is still not out of his upset and best to leave him inside his house)
PRS: Ok Good Night Young man. Take care and starts walking
Arjun: Sir
PRs turns back
Arjun goes and hugs him: Thank you very much
PRS pats his back: You are welcome Arjun. Next time you are confused or are upset and cannot decide the correct path you can call me or come and meet me. Ok, do not hesitate
Arjun: OK
PRS pats his cheek: Take care
Arjun: I will Good Night
PRS smiles: Good Night and leaves for the meeting
Arjun keeps standing looking at him going up in the glass elevator and is lost till PRS driver comes and calls him to leave him to his house.
The driver ensures he accompanies Arjun till his door step and waits till Arjun goes to his house as per PRS instructions. Arjun thanks the driver for leaving him till his house and the driver leaves.
