Search for Earth
There was water all over the world. At that time Mahadev had to create Earth. Mahadev made a crow from his dirt and sent it to search for soil. He spent many years flying. He got tired but he was not getting any place to rest. Then he saw something above the water, on which he sat. After getting rid of his fatigue for some time, he thought that many years have passed. I did not see anything here except water, but what is this thing on which I came and sat. Then he asked that thing "Who are you, how are you here"? Then that thing came out of the water. Seeing its huge form, the crow got scared! It was a huge crab. He asked the crow who called me. Then the crow said that Mahadev has sent me and I need soil. Can you tell me where I can get soil? Then the crab said O crow, I am the protector of the netherworld, I am the guard there. What you are asking for is the food of my king and queen. Then the crow requested him a lot. Then the crab said, "Okay, I will ask my king and queen for the soil and bring it for you." When the crab went to his king and queen, they refused to give him the soil.
On this the crab said that I have promised the crow that if you do not give the soil then my promise will be false. Even then he did not agree then the crab caught his throat with his hand and pressed it. Due to which the king and queen (who were crows) spat out all the soil from their mouths. The crab took that soil and gave it to the crow, the crow went and gave it to Mahadev and Mahadev created the earth.

Two Brothers
There were two brothers, one rich and the other poor. The rich brother did not help the poor brother. One day the poor younger brother was walking through the forest in search of food. On the way, he met an old man. He was carrying a heavy load of wood. He brought the bundle of wood to the old man's hut. Happy, the old man gave him a mill. The mill used to give whatever he asked for. The younger brother brought the mill home and asked for a lot of grains from it. He started selling the grains obtained from the mill in the market as well. He became happy. The elder brother secretly saw all this and stole the mill and put it in the boat and started running away. When the boat was going in the sea, he asked for salt from the mill. The mill started and started filling salt. But the elder brother did not know that the mill stops when the red sheet is covered. The mill was still running due to which all the water of the sea became salty.
