SHORT STORY: THE KING'S COOK

There is an old Tamil folktale about a king and the royal cook. One day, the cook made a dish that the king loved. 'What is this?' enquired the king. The cook came rushing with a brinjal in his hand. He said, 'Your Majesty, this is the king of vegetables. See, Sire, it even has a crown on its head.' The king was mighty pleased. Rest in the video.
