Ahoi Mata Katha

Prachin samay me ek sahukar tha jiske saat bete, saat bahuen aur ek beti thi. Deepawali ke samay uski beti mayke aayi hui thi. Ghar lipne ke liye sabhi bahuen aur beti jungle me mitti lene gayin. Mitti kaatte samay galti se sahukar ki beti se syahu ke ek bachche ki mrityu ho gayi. Is baat se krodhit hokar syahu ne uski kokh bandh dene ka shraap de diya. Tab sabse chhoti bhabhi ne apni nanad ke badle apni kokh bandhvaane ka vachan de diya. Iske baad chhoti bahu ke jitne bhi bachche hote, ve saat din baad mar jaate. Dukhi hokar usne pandit se iska upay poocha. Pandit ne use Surhi gaay ki seva karne ko kaha. Seva se prasann hokar Surhi use syahu ke paas le gayi. Raaste me chhoti bahu ne ek saanp ko maar kar Garud pankhni ke bachche ki jaan bacha li, lekin pehle Garud pankhni use galat samajh baithi. Jab use sachchai pata chali to vah prasann ho gayi aur chhoti bahu ko syahu ke paas pahucha diya. Wahan syahu chhoti bahu ki seva aur tyag se prasann hokar use saat putron aur saat bahuon ka ashirwad deti hai. Iske baad chhoti bahu ka ghar sukh, samriddhi aur santanon se bhar gaya.
