The story revolves around a poor Brahmin and his intelligent son who yearns for education. After the Brahmin arranges for a teacher to educate his son, the boy experiences a puzzling dream that he struggles to share with those around him, including the teacher and a king, due to their personal connections. Ultimately, the boy, when faced with the threat of execution for withholding his dream, is saved by a queen who provides a substitute heart to save him.

Later, when the first king faces a challenge from another king regarding identifying a mother horse from her daughter, the boy cleverly devises a test using garbage to distinguish between the two horses. His successful identification leads to the second king losing his kingdom, resulting in a marriage proposal for the boy to the second king's daughter. The boy marries her, lives comfortably with his father-in-law, and ultimately highlights the power of wisdom and intelligence in overcoming obstacles.

Once there was a Brahmin. He had only one son. The boy was very intelligent, but being a poor Brahmin, he could not afford education. The people of his village would often tell the Panditji, "You should get your son educated; he is quite bright." After a few days, the Brahmin approached a teacher and said, "O Guruji, if you could teach my son somehow, it would be wonderful." So, the Guruji began to teach him. They always ate, drank, and lived together.

After a few days, one night the boy dreamt that two girls were in love with him, and a woman was filling water. Then he woke up laughing. After that, he started to cry. The Guruji wanted to ask him the reason for this, but thought it would be better to wait until morning. When morning came, after having breakfast, the Guruji began to ask, "Last night, you were laughing, and then why did you start crying?" But the boy did not say anything because the Guruji had two daughters and a wife himself. That's why even though he was asked many times, the boy did not speak. Finally, the Guruji became angry and ran after the boy. Then the boy started to flee.

While running, he met a king and told him everything. The king felt pity for him. So, he took the boy home. After a few days, the king learned everything and began to ask the boy what he had seen in his dream. Since the king also had two daughters and a wife, the boy did not tell him either. The king, feeling frustrated, told his executioner to go and bring the boy's heart.

When the executioner was about to take the boy away, the queen said, "O executioner, I will give you two thousand rupees if you give this boy to me and bring the heart of a monkey to the king." The executioner gave the boy to the queen and took the two thousand rupees, and then brought the monkey's heart to the king. The boy hid at the queen's place.

At that time, another king was testing the first king. One day, a letter came from that king along with two horses. The letter stated which horse was the mother and which was the daughter. If you do not identify them, I will take your kingdom; if you do, then my kingdom will be yours. The king became very anxious and told everything to the courtiers. The queen was also sad. Seeing the queen sad, the boy asked. After inquiring, he learned the whole situation. Then the boy said, "I will recognize them."

The next day, the queen said, "O king, there is a boy who says he can identify them. Please grant him a chance." The king replied, "Go and bring him."

The queen brought the boy. The boy told the king to gather a lot of garbage in the street and burn it. The king did everything as instructed. Then both horses were brought. Two horsemen mounted them and started to kick through the pile of garbage. One was kicked out, which was the mother, and the other was not kicked out, which was the daughter. The king wrote down "mother-daughter" on a paper and tied it to a horse. Then he set the horse free.

The second king lost his kingdom. He had only one daughter, so he wrote a letter to the first king, saying that he should marry his daughter to his son. There was a grand wedding ceremony for both. The boy began to stay with his father-in-law, and he started to rule there. Now he also brought his father there and lived comfortably. What cannot be achieved with wisdom?
