The story of “Centi” the Dwarfs
In the kingdom of dwarfs there was a wood-cutter. He used to bring firewood from the forest and sale the same in the market. That was the only means of his survival. He was married , but had no children.The villagers used to abuse the woodcutter-family for being issueless. The woodcutter family used to live in mental agony.
The wife of the woodcutter was a very pious lady . She used to go to a temple everyday and keep fasting, praying for a child. One day, she was crying at the front of the deity of the temple and fell asleep. In her dream the pious woman saw the goddess herself directing her, “get up , get up, how long will you sleep? Take a bath, put on fresh clothings , oil your hair, make up your face with red kumkum and chandan, you will then get a fresh fruit, eat it up, you will be a mother of a healthy son”. The woodcutter’s wife got up quickly, and put oil in her hair, took a deep bath in the temple pond. After that she came home, told her husband about the dream. The dwarf woodcutter was very happy – “We have received the blessings of the goddess , there is nothing to worry now. When you get the fruit , just eat it up.”
The woodcutter happily went to the forest to fetch the five wood , deep inside the forest, near a stream the woodcutter saw a very old woman, about hundred years old, was sitting there. she asked “who are you my child ,are you the childless woodcutter, I can not see very well these days, take this my child, give it to your wife, it is a fruit, make sure , nothing is left, but she have to eat the whole thing after seven days, nothing should be left out. She will be the mother of a very healthy boy, He will be pride of your family. Saying this, she opened a small bag, took out a fruit and gave it to woodcutter. Then slowly the old woman walked away in-to the forest. That day the woodcutter did not cut any tree , he ran towards his home. He called out for his wife and said , my dear , we have been blessed. Look at this , take this in your hand , this is the blessing of goddess , do not eat it today, keep it carefully, after seven days , after having bath, you may eat it. This is the direction of the goddess.”
