A witty and suspenseful Indian folktale about the power of clever thinking.
The manthiravati (a powerful magician) makes a terrible mistake: he acquires the most powerful Bhuta (demon) in the world, who must be kept busy every single day, or he will devour his master and the clever Disciple!
The Bhuta is too fast and too powerful. The Disciple is quickly running out of idea for impossible tasks, and the enormous demon is running out of patience. What challenge can possibly stop the world's most unstoppable, hungry employee?
This hilarious adventure celebrates the triumph of wits over brute force and shows young readers that sometimes, the simplest things in nature are the hardest to change. Perfect for readers who love clever heroes and unexpected endings!
