Once upon a time there was a mighty cloud. It was so huge that it blocked the sun-rays to reach the ground. It fired lightning bolts towards the people and rained so heavily that it flooded all the villages.
Everyone prayed, offered sacrifices and performed eccentric rituals to pacify the cloud but all went in vain. The mighty cloud mocked the people and rained even more heavily.
After raining continuously for about a month, all the villages had submerged in the sea as a result of which the people shifted to the highest peak possible and prayed to mother Earth to save them from their imminent death.
Mother Earth heard their plea and came to their rescue. She sprouted a massive banyan tree and asked all of them to stand underneath it. As soon as all the villagers assembled beneath it, the tree began to expand in all directions and covered them from all the sides. Immediately, mother Earth increased her gravitational pull to such an extent that everything began to fall on the ground. It became extremely difficult for the mighty cloud to retain the water droplets inside it due to which it burst.
Finally came an end to its unjust and egoistic attitude.
MORAL: THOSE WHO MAKE UNJUST USE OF THEIR POWER OFTEN PERISH.
