Back For My Daughter

In Guo Yulao's car as they were going to Wang Jin's place.

The three girls were eagerly listening to their Papa as he said a story to them.

As soon as Ye Qian finished a sentence the girls would be ready with a tonne of questions that would pop into their heads.

"Ohh, so did the teacher accepted him as his student Papa?"

The little girls asked to which Ye Qian shook his head.

"Huh, why Papa?"

Little Jia asked.

Ye Qian nodded and then continued.

"But Dronacharya had promised one of his disciples, Arjun that he would make Arjun the best archer in the world and no one would be as good as him."

"And Guru Dronachrya would only teach the warrior and scholar class  people, but Eklavya was from a nomadic tribe, so he rejected."

Hearing this reason, all three girls pouted as if in annoyance, completely displeased with this kind of reasoning.

Meanwhile, in the front seats of the car, Guo Yulao chuckled along with the driver.

But still continued to listen.

Seeing the girls pout, Ye Qian smiled wryly, of course, he understood what was the reason.

He then continued.

"But Eklvya was not so easy to give up, he had already decided that the Guru Dronacharya was his teacher, so he carved a stone making it look like Dronacharya."

"Ohhh!"

Hearing this, the girls nodded a bit baffled.

"And with many years of practice, and devotion towards his teacher, Eklavya continued to get better in the art of archery, and in fact had gotten better than the prince."

"Wow, so he did it so much without anyone's help?"

The girls were amazed to hear this.

Meanwhile, Guo Yulao also nodded.

'Although the story seems a bit childish but it's really good for children.'

Ye Qian then continued.

"At one day, while practising, a dog disturbed Eklavya."

"So what did he do then, Dad?"

Xiao Ya asked as if she had thought of something.

"What do you think he would have done Xiao Ya?"

Ye Qian asked, noticing that she seemed to have thought of some way.

"Umm umm, I think that he should have thrown some pebbles at the dog and made him run away so as to not get disturbed."

The little girl rubbed her chin.

Of course, there was another thing that also came to her mind, but she thought that it was too bad.

Of course, the little girl was thinking that the boy should have beaten the dog.

"No."

Ye Qian shook his head making the little girl to think of her other answer.

"Did he beat the dog away, Dad?"

The little girl seemed to have turned sad thinking about this.

"He didn't do that too."

Ye Qian shook his head, only to see Xiao Ya's worry going away.

Ye Qian chuckled and then continued.

"Eklavya shot 5 arrows into the dog's mouth making him not back again."

The little girls stared at Ye Qian with their eyes wide open.

Meanwhile, Guo Yulao was also shocked and stared at him for a moment.

This was definitely not a story for children, killing was definitely not a part.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Ye Qian then continued.

"But none of the arrows hurt the dog."

The girls looked with confusion.

Ye Qian shook his head and smiled wryly, clearly knowing what question they were going to ask.

"I don't know how he did, so don't ask."

"Ohh."

The girls nodded with their lips pursed.

As for Ye Qian, he then continued.

"But this scene was not left unnoticed, Guru Dronacharya and several of his students were going the way when they saw Eklavya doing this."

The girls nodded with a smile.

Little Qiqi then asked.

"Papa, then did the Guru take the boy as his student seeing his talent?"

The other two also nodded staring at Ye Qian.

They knew that knowing the talent of the boy, the teacher might have accepted him as his student.

Ye Qian shook his head and then continued to narrate the story.

"The Guru was amazed by the skills, noticing the Guru, the boy also bowed in respect to him with great honour."

"But then, the teacher saw his stone statue nearby, after carefully looking at boy, the teacher recognized that it was the same boy who had come to him many years ago, and the boy had made him as his teacher."

"Understanding this, the teacher got angry as the boy had learned from him without his permission and also his promise to the prince."

"Huh, he is a bad teacher, he didn't teach the boy at all how can he say that the boy learned without his permission?"

Little Qiqi pouted her lips with an annoyed look.

The other two also had similar expressions.

Ye Qian smiled wryly, if the girls knew what had further happened in the story then he didn't doubt that they would really get mad at the teacher.

"After thinking about it, the Guru then said that since Eklavya had learned from him without his permission then he will have to give a Dakshina, which means to give something in return for getting something."

"Eklavya agreed and asked his teacher what he wanted from him."

"The Guru said - GIVE ME YOUR RIGHT THUMB!"

Hearing that everyone in the car frowned.

By now, even the driver was quite amazed to hear this new story and wanted to hear what further happened.

Ye Qian smiled and nodded seeing the angry look on the girl's face and then continued.

"But you know what the boy did?"

"What did he do Papa?"

Little Jia asked since she was the only one who didn't look as annoyed as the other two.

"He quickly took his knife and without hesitation cut off his right thumb and placed it in front of Guru Dronacharya's feet."

The girls placed their palms on their mouths and gasped with wide eyes.

If before they were angry then now, they were completely shocked.
