COMPREHENSION AND SUMMARY
Once upon a time there lived an old King in the land of Kalamindi. His name was Kala, but people nick named him “Brownie” because of his brown skin. The king only had one son, his name was Wasafi.
One day, the king summoned his servants and asked them to prepare a big feast for a twin celebration; one for his birthday and two, for his son to select a woman to marry. In three days’ time, the party was set and people came from all walks of life. In the midst of the celebrations, Wasafi sported Tausi, a slim dark lady and reported her to his father. Before his father could send his servants to locate Tausi, she had vanished from the crowd. Fortunately, Tausi left one of her shoes in the dancing hall.
An order was given by King Kala to his servants to look for any lady whose feet will fit the shoe. Every person in the land tried the shoe on without success. Several days later, Wasafi grew weaker and thinner, he asked his father to prepare a second event and invite more people; this time, the event was to happen in the open and last for two days and two nights.
In this second party, it was made compulsory for everyone to try the shoe on irrespective of age and body size. Fortunately, the shoe fitted someone. She was none other than Tausi herself. Joy and celebrations filled the air.
