“Mother Chandili’s Clever Exchange” - A Story from the Panchatantra
Once upon a time, in a humble little town nestled among gentle hills and whispering woods, there lived a Brahmin and his wife, whom everyone affectionately called Mother Chandili. The Brahmin was kindly and always ready to do a good turn, while Mother Chandili, with her keen wit and resourceful nature, was the heart of their small home.
As the monsoon season unfurled its gray curtains to dance upon the earth, the couple prepared to observe the holy summer solstice known as Dakshinayanam. It was a time for them, although not of much means, to share what little they had and extend their generosity to others.

“One should share with others even when resources are scarce,” advised the Brahmin to Mother Chandili as she fretted over their modest means. Mother Chandili nodded in agreement, rising to the challenge like a warrior to her battlefield.
As dawn kissed the horizon with its first blush, the Brahmin set off to the woods to gather firewood, while Mother Chandili rolled up her sleeves and got to work. She spread out sesame seeds in the sun to dry, envisioning the sweet treats she would create.
But as fate would have it, a mischievous dog sneaked into their yard and spoiled the sesame, throwing Mother Chandili’s plans into disarray.

“What am I to do now?” Mother Chandili exclaimed, but then, with a spark of ingenuity, she declared, “I shall not be swayed by a turn of misfortune!” Thus, she set off to the neighboring house, seeking to exchange the spoiled seeds for fresh ones.
In the neighboring abode, where a lady had just agreed to the exchange and congratulated herself on her good fortune, her son Kamandaki raised an eyebrow in suspicion. “Mother,” he chuckled, “surely such a bargain is too sweet. Let us inspect our prize.”
