Once upon a time there was a dense forest near Ganga river in current Bihar. There was plenty of food to eat and a large clean pond in the center of forest where all the animals used to come to quench their thirst. Everyone was living happily there.
Then one day a very dangerous and powerful monster "Mahatrikal" came to that forest. He liked it some much and decided to live on a banyan tree near the pond. Mahatrikal started killing animals whenever someone came to drink water. Sometimes he ate them after killing. He was so powerful that everyone was afraid of him. But since there was no other source of water all were worried about what to do.
A group of animals decided to meet their lion king "Sher Singh". They told him their dilemma and asked him to help. Lion said not to worry and promised to look after this matter.
Then lion reached at the shore of lake and shouted at the top of his voice - "Where is this evil creature, who is destroying the peace of my forest? Come and fight with me."
Hearing this the monster came out and accepted his challenge. Monster was very powerful. He simply lifted lion up in the air by his tail and threw him away at a great distance. Then he roared - "Listen you all. My name is Mahatrikal. No one should dare to challenge me again, otherwise i will do the same or worse as i have done to this lion."
Now all the animals were afraid. Sher Singh made an announcement - " Who ever gets rid of this monster will become the new king of this forest." No animal was willing to take that risk. Finally a small honey bee named "Chhutku" decided to accept the challenge.
Chhutku came to lake and said - "Come out you dirty monster. I am here to teach you a lesson.". Upon hearing this monster came out and when he saw that a little honey bee was challenging him, he started laughing and said - "Have you lost your mind? Have you not heard what i did to the lion. Do you want to get squashed? Run away, before i do that."
On this Chhutku said - "Why are you talking so high and mighty? Why don't you come here and fight with me?" Now monster was mad with rage. He started running towards little bee. But he didn't see that there were thousands of other honey bees waiting for him in the nearby trees. All of them started biting and attacking him. Monster was in a very pitiable state. He had no where to run and save himself and thousands of honey bees were constantly stinging him. Finally he apologised and said - "Please forgive me. I have made a terribe mistake. If you let me go now, i will never disturb you again."
On hearing this Chhutku forgave him. As promised monster left the forest and never came back again. Chhutku was made the new king of that forest and everyone respected him for his bravery and smartness.
