          varshoan pahale himalay ki kisi kandara mean ek balishth sher raha karata tha. ek din vah ek bhaianse ka shikar aur bhakshan kar apani gupha ko laut raha tha. tabhi raste mean use ek mariyal-sa siyar mila jisane use letakar dandavath pranam kiya. jab sher ne usase aisa karane ka karan poochha to usane kaha, “sarakar maian apaka sevak banana chahata hooan. kupaya mujhe ap apani sharan mean le lean. maian apaki seva karuanga aur apake dvara chho de gaye shikar se apana gujar-basar kar looanga.' sher ne usaki bat man li aur use mitravat apani sharan mean rakha.
kuchh hi dinoan mean sher dvara chho de gaye shikar ko kha-kha kar vah siyar bahut mota ho gaya. pratidin sianh ke parakram ko dekh-dekh usane bhi svayan ko sianh ka pratirup man liya. ek din usane sianh se kaha, 'are sianh ! maian bhi ab tumhari tarah shaktishali ho gaya hooan. aj maian ek hathi ka shikar karuanga aur usaka bhakshan karuanga aur usake bache-khuche maans ko tumhare lie chho d dooanga.' chooanki sianh us siyar ko mitravath dekhata tha, isalie usane usaki batoan ka bura n man use aisa karane se roka. bhram-jal mean phansa vah dambhi siyar sianh ke paramarsh ko asvikar karata hua paha d ki choti par ja kh da hua. vahaan se usane charoan or nazarean dau daee to paha d ke niche hathiyoan ke ek chhote se samooh ko dekha. phir sianh-nad ki tarah tin bar siyar ki avajean laga kar ek b de hathi ke oopar kood p da. kintu hathi ke sir ke oopar n gir vah usake pairoan par ja gira. aur hathi apani mastani chal se apana agala pair usake sir ke oopar rakh age badh gaya. kshan bhar mean siyar ka sir chakanachoor ho gaya aur usake pran pakheru u d gaye.
paha d ke oopar se siyar ki sari harakatean dekhata hua sianh ne tab yah gatha kahi – 'hote hai jo moorkh aur ghamandi, hoti hai unaki aisi hi gati.'

sikh- kabhi bhi ziandagi mean kisi bhi samay ghamand nahian karana chahie.
