God Damn fruit!

Once, Tenali Ramalinga was on his way to king's palace. He saw a person carrying a large plate of delicious mangoes with a note in it. The mangoes were very big and attractive. Ramalinga was tempted upon seeing the delicious mangoes, however, resisted his temptations and reached the palace. The person carrying the mangoes, came to the palace after him. He went to the king and said, "Maharaj, King of the neighboring kingdom has sent you these fruits. Who ever eats these fruits will have a long life". King was pleased and asked to place the mangoes aside and leave.
Ramalinga, on seeing the delicious mangoes, placed so closely, could no longer control his temptation. He grabbed a fruit and took a bite. King became furious and said angrily, "How can you eat fruits which are gifted to the King, and that too with out permission? How dare you? For this act of yours, I pronounce death sentence to you.". He ordered the guards to take him away. As soon as the guards surrounded him, Ramalinga started to yell, "How wicked is our neighboring king. He sent these mangoes saying, they give good health and fortune. A single bite has taken me close to death. God knows, what might happen, if one consumes the whole fruit". King was mesmerized by Ramalinga's wit and laughed out loud. He asked guards to release Ramalinga and gave few fruits to him.
