=The farmer and his sons=

There was once an old, dying farmerwho had worked hard in his vineyard all his life. before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmer. So he called them to his bedside and said, "My boys, I have an inportant secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead". The sons gave their pomise and as soon as their father had died they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot sun and while they were working they thought about what their father had said. They pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces, and other sucs things. Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard but they found not a single penny. They were very upset because they felt that all their hard work had been for nothing. However, a few months later the grapes started to appear on the vines. Their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighbourhood and they sold them for a lot of money. Now the sons understood what their had meant by the great treasure and they lived happily ever after.

=The emperor and his daughters= There was once an emperpr who lived in a palace. He had three daughters but no sons. He wanted his daughters to marry before he died. He found three princes. However his daughters didn't like them. They refused to marry the princes, so the emperor became very angry. He said they must get married while they were sixteen years old. The three daughters ran away as soon as the night and found work on a farm. They fell in love with the farmer's sons durung they werw working there. They married the sons when they were sixteen.

FOOD IN INDIA

 A typical North-Indian meal would consist of //chapatis// or //rotis// (unleavened bread baked on a griddle) or //paranthas// (unleavened bread fried on a griddle), rice and an assortment of assessories like //dals//, friend vegetables, curries, curd, //chutney//, and pickles. For dessert one could choose from the wide array of sweetmeats from Bengal like //rasagulla, sandesh, rasamalai// and //gulab-jamuns.// North Indian desserts are very similar in taste as they are derived from a milk pudding or rice base and are usually soaked in syrup. //Kheer// is a form of rice pudding, //shahi tukra// or bread pudding and //kulfi//, a nutty ice cream are other common northern desserts.



 South Indian food is largely non-greasy, roasted and steamed. Rice is the staple diet and forms the basis of every meal. It is usually served with //sambhar, rasam// (a thin soup), dry and curried vegetables and a curd preparation called //pachadi.// Coconut is an important ingredient in all South Indian food. The South Indian //dosa// (rice pancakes), //idli// (steamed rice cakes) and //vada//, which is made of fermented rice and //dal//, are now popular throughout the country. The popular dishes from Kerala are //appams// (a rice pancake) and thick stews. Desserts from the south include the Mysore //pak// and the creamy //payasum.//
