Gopal Learns Nature Knows Best

The Man Who Thought He Was Smarter Than Nature. Hello everyone! Welcome back to Story Time.

Today, we’re going to a small village in India to meet a man named Gopal.

Now, Gopal was a nice enough fellow, but he had one tiny problem.

He thought he was smarter than everyone else. Even smarter than Nature!

One hot afternoon, Gopal lay down to rest under a giant, ancient Banyan tree. It was huge!

Its trunk was as thick as an elephant. Gopal looked up and saw the fruit of the Banyan tree.

They were tiny little red berries. Then, he looked down at the ground.

On a thin, weak vine... sat a massive, heavy pumpkin! Gopal laughed.
