The story revolves around a king who is desperate for children, as none of his seven queens are able to give him heirs. After consulting a beggar, he follows the beggar's advice to find seven mango buds for his queens, resulting in six of the queens giving birth to sons and the youngest queen, who delayed eating her mango, having a daughter. The daughter, determined to pursue education and a career despite her mother's warnings of potential dangers, eventually works for a washerman.

After some time, she discovers a hidden jar of coins while gathering mud and returns home with riches. When her brothers see her success, they seek to claim the donkey that supposedly carried her wealth, but when they mistreat the donkey, it dies without yielding any further coins. The story concludes with a moral about the importance of thoughtful action, warning that reckless decisions may lead to regret.

Once there was a king who had seven queens, but none of them had any children. One day, while the king was wandering in his garden, he overheard a woman saying that today it seems there's a sight of a childless couple, and they might get something to eat! The king said, "I have become so unfortunate that even a woman says that nothing will be given to me as long as she sees me." He returned home, crossed the fields, and told all this to the queens.

That same day, a beggar came asking for alms. The king, appealing to the beggar, said, "I have no descendants, Maharaj, please suggest a remedy for me to have children." The beggar asked the king three times if he would do what he said. The king answered "yes" each time. Then the beggar said, "Oh king, go to your garden and search for seven mango buds. If you find them, pluck them with your left hand, and give one mango to each of the seven queens. Your wish will be fulfilled." The king did just that and divided the mangoes among the seven queens.

Six queens ate the mangoes, but the youngest queen kept hers aside on the roof for a while. Eventually, she ate the mango. When she checked later, she found the seed still there. After some time, as the youngest queen was preparing food, she looked for her mango and found the seed. She cleaned it and ate it. After nine months, the six queens had a son, and the youngest queen had a daughter. She blamed her fate and lovingly began to raise her daughter.

When the children grew up a bit, they got ready to study. The daughter told her mother that she also wanted to go to school. The mother warned her that someone might throw a stone at her, and she could get hurt. But the daughter was determined and went to study with the others. When they all got educated and were ready to work, the daughter told her mother, "Mother, I also want to work." The mother cautioned her that someone might strike her, leaving her to suffer. The daughter insisted that no one would harm her, and she wanted to go to work. Thus, all the brothers mounted their horses and set off for foreign lands while the daughter followed, all excited.

The brothers sought shelter in a dharamshala and the daughter reached there as well. The seven siblings met each other. In the morning, all six brothers rode off to their jobs, while the daughter became employed with a washerman. Every day, she would load clothes onto the washerman's donkey, sit on it, and go to the river's edge to deliver them. The washerman would wash the clothes, load them onto the donkey again, and then the daughter would ride back home.

Months passed while she worked there. One day, the daughter asked the washerman for a few days off. He asked how long she would be away. The daughter replied, "Just a week." She then went home and started collecting mud. While digging, she found a jar filled with silver coins and gold coins. She took it all, mixing the money with grass to feed the donkey. As she was leaving, she asked the washerman to give her donkey back, so she could ride it home. The washerman gave her the donkey, and she rode back home.

As she was walking, she reached the same dharamshala where she saw her brothers returning home with earnings. They all bowed down and hugged each other, joyously heading home together. Upon reaching home, the daughter told her mother to bring out the scales and the basket. The mother asked, "What have you brought, my child, that requires the scales and basket?" The daughter insisted, "Just bring them first, then you'll see what I have." The mother brought the scales and basket. The daughter took a blanket, began to hit her donkey, and coins of silver and gold started pouring out. The daughter's aunt exclaimed, "Look at how much Neuria earned, and what have we earned?" Then Neuria's brothers said, "Brother, give us your donkey, and keep some money for yourself." Neuria replied, "Give me sixty rupees, and I will give it to you." The brothers paid sixty rupees and took the donkey away while Neuria took her blanket and started hitting the donkey. They beat it so much that it died, but not a single coin of silver or gold fell from it.

"Where would the poor donkey find the money? It only gave back what it had eaten," they thought. "One should not act thoughtlessly; otherwise, not only will one lose money but also their lives." It is rightly said that those who act without thinking often have to face regret in life.
