00:00The Tale of the Tail-Cutter
00:09Once upon a time, there lived a tail-cutter in an old hut with his wife.
00:16Every morning, he would go to the forest and bring home a tail-cutter.
00:22He and his wife would make different things from that tail-cutter and sell them in the market.
00:28He and his wife were living in poverty and they had no children.
00:34But they were happy and contented.
00:37One day, when he was cutting the tail-cutter in the forest, he saw a strange tail-cutter in the middle of the forest.
00:44That tail-cutter was as bright as the full moon.
00:49The tail-cutter was very surprised.
00:51He carefully put a small nail on the tail-cutter so that he could open it.
00:57But when he did so, he could not believe his eyes.
01:06This is a girl!
01:09There was a very small and delicate girl inside.
01:13She was as big as the thumb of the tail-cutter.
01:17He had never seen such a beautiful girl before.
01:21He immediately decided to take her to his wife.
01:25He carefully took her out on his palm and brought her home with great care.
01:31He had to be careful not to hurt her.
01:34Come quickly, my dear.
01:36Come out and see what I have found.
01:44He told this whole story to his wife and slowly opened his hand.
01:49Suddenly, the whole house was lit up.
01:53The couple was amazed.
01:55She is as bright as the full moon.
01:57We should name her Chandni.
02:00Chandni!
02:02She is very beautiful.
02:04The wife laid a cloth and placed Chandni on it.
02:09She was praising her that a light breeze came from the window.
02:14The little girl flew away from the wife's hand.
02:17She tried her best to hold Chandni firmly.
02:22Finally, when the wind stopped, the cloth was removed.
02:26And the little girl turned into a normal child.
02:34The couple looked at each other in amazement.
02:40Our little Chandni will keep us very busy, right?
02:44The next morning, the bamboo cutter went to the forest again to cut the bamboo.
03:04The bamboo cutter and his wife immediately realized that
03:08it was their little Chandni who had brought good luck with her.
03:14After that day, the bamboo cutter returned home with a bundle of gold.
03:20He soon became rich.
03:22He gave his Chandni good food and gave her expensive silk clothes.
03:28Months passed and her little girl was growing up very fast.
03:34After some time, Chandni became a very beautiful young girl.
03:40Her hair was softer than silk.
03:42Her eyes were like the rays of the stars.
03:47Her face was soft like the wings of a bird.
03:51And her smile was more beautiful than the moon.
03:55Perhaps she was the most beautiful girl on this earth.
03:59But the bamboo cutter had to worry about something else.
04:04The villagers asked him about the beautiful girl who lived in his house.
04:09One night, when Chandni went to sleep, the bamboo cutter talked to his wife.
04:15I am worried.
04:17I told everyone that we found her alone in the forest.
04:21And that we brought her home to raise her.
04:25But now she has grown up.
04:27Those people are gossiping about her beauty.
04:30I know.
04:32We can't keep her in this house forever.
04:35The next day, the bamboo cutter talked to his daughter about her marriage.
04:41He told her that many people wanted to marry her.
04:46No, father. I can't live without you.
04:49Why are you sending me away from yourself?
04:52Oh, my dear child.
04:55I can't live without you either.
04:57But I can't keep you in this house forever.
05:01I love you.
05:02I know. But love doesn't teach us to be selfish.
05:06I will have to let you go to live my life.
05:10I will never force you to marry someone against your wishes.
05:14But at least meet those people who want to marry you.
05:18Chandni loved her father very much.
05:21And she couldn't refuse him.
05:23The next day, five people came to see Chandni for the marriage.
05:28They couldn't take their eyes off her.
05:30Chandni looked at them without a smile on her face.
05:34And she talked to them heartlessly.
05:37I request you to bring some things for me from different places.
05:43I will only marry the one who will give me what I have asked for.
05:50I will bring you the dark and beautiful moon.
05:53If this is your wish, just say it.
05:56I will just tell you to get lost from here.
06:00This beautiful woman doesn't need your beautiful moon.
06:03I will bring all the bright stars for her if this is her wish.
06:07Don't listen to them, princess.
06:10I will bring the brightest pearl of the sea for you.
06:14I don't want any moon, stars or any pearl from the sea.
06:20But I just want what I will ask from each one of you.
06:25Then she asked for a stone bowl from a beggar in India.
06:33But that bowl should be brighter than me.
06:37Then she asked for a single branch of a tree which grew on the top of the highest mountain in the eastern sea.
06:47Its roots were silver and its trunk was gold.
06:51The fruits of the fruit tree grew on its trunk.
06:55And I want the real trunk of that tree.
06:59Don't insult me by bringing a fake trunk for me.
07:03The third wish was to go to China and bring a fire-breathing rat for her.
07:10The fourth wish was to bring a diamond with seven colors which is on the head of a dragon.
07:16And the last wish was to find a bird with a snake in its stomach and bring that snake for me.
07:29Thank you all for coming.
07:46Chandni knew that this task was impossible.
07:50But this was the only way to stay with her parents forever.
07:55Many weeks passed by but no one came back.
07:59The shepherd told his wife that another shepherd got stuck in a storm in the eastern sea.
08:06And he was unable to save himself.
08:08The shepherd told his wife that another shepherd got stuck in a storm in the eastern sea.
08:15And he was unable to save himself.
08:18The third shepherd tried to find the fire-breathing rat.
08:22But he was bitten by the ducks.
08:24The fourth shepherd tried to find the dragon.
08:27But when he was asked to enter the dark forest, he put down his weapon.
08:32And the fifth shepherd tried to catch the bird.
08:36But the bird bit him in return.
08:39Only one wisher came back.
08:42He was told to bring a stone bowl from India.
08:47He brought the brightest bowl.
08:50But he was stunned by Chandni's light.
08:54Is there no one in this world who is worthy of marrying my daughter?
09:00Is there no one in this world who is worthy of marrying my daughter?
09:10The emperor is at our doorstep?
09:13Oh, we are so lucky.
09:16Actually, I should bow down before you.
09:19Because I have come to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage.
09:23I know what she asked from him.
09:26He wanted to marry her.
09:27If you allow me, I would like to talk to her.
09:32And I would like to find out what work she has for me.
09:36Oh, of course.
09:38Please be seated.
09:40I will call her out.
09:42The emperor was eagerly waiting for Chandni.
09:46When she came out, it was as if her beauty had cast a spell on him.
09:50He decided to marry her.
09:53But Chandni had something to say.
09:56Oh, lady.
09:58I know that you can give me anything.
10:02A diamond of a dragon.
10:04A fire-breathing rat.
10:07A golden tree trunk.
10:09These are the challenges that you can easily overcome.
10:12That is why I ask for only one thing from you.
10:17Respect my wish that I do not want to get married.
10:22And do not force me to know the reason for this.
10:26You are right.
10:28I can give you anything you want.
10:31And if this is what you are asking for,
10:34then your wish is my command.
10:37But can I also ask for something in return?
10:41You are a powerful woman.
10:44Can I be fortunate enough to be your friend?
10:48Chandni and the emperor were friends and often chatted.
10:52The rat-eater did not allow the other lovers to come.
10:56He did not want to trouble Chandni again.
11:00One night, when he entered her room,
11:03he saw that Chandni was sitting near the window.
11:06She was looking at the moon and she had tears in her eyes.
11:10Chandni, why are you crying?
11:14There is a dream that comes to me every night, father.
11:19I never told you this.
11:22I did not want you to worry.
11:25What is that dream?
11:27I dream that the swans of the moon are taking me to the moon.
11:32And last night a voice told me that that day has come.
11:38On the fifteenth day of this month, they will come to take me.
11:43I do not want to leave you and go.
11:47The rat-eater looked at the moon.
11:49In all these months, for the first time, he felt that the moon was dim.
11:55As if someone had stolen its light.
11:59He was worried about his daughter.
12:02He immediately sent a message to the emperor and asked for his help.
12:07The emperor swore that he would not let anyone take his Chandni.
12:12On the fifteenth day of this month, I want to appoint two thousand royal guards.
12:16Outside Chandni's house, no one will touch her.
12:21The fifteenth day arrived.
12:24Chandni's house was surrounded by two thousand royal guards, who were standing guard.
12:31The emperor himself took out his sword and stood outside the house.
12:36The rat-eater took Chandni to the swing.
12:40His mother grabbed him tightly.
12:42Everyone was protecting him.
12:45Then suddenly, a bright light shone in the sky.
12:49What was that?
12:52I can't see anything.
12:54A beautiful flying kite came down.
12:57Small fairies were flying around it.
13:00It was playing a beautiful tune on its flute.
13:03Suddenly, Chandni closed her eyes and flew towards the music.
13:09She came out of her swing.
13:11Her parents were running after her.
13:14The fairies touched Chandni with a shining silver feather.
13:18Chandni's attire turned into a long white gown.
13:24She opened her eyes and smiled.
13:28Her fear was gone.
13:31She went to her parents and hugged them.
13:35Father, you took good care of me.
13:38But I have to go back to my people to fulfill my duty.
13:44What? I don't understand.
13:48The moon has gone out of control because I am here on earth.
13:53I am Chandni.
13:56The moon is incomplete without me.
13:59I am the light that guides people in their dark night.
14:04I was lost during the day.
14:07I forgot who I was when I set foot on the earth.
14:11I was tired.
14:13I sat in that bamboo and met you like this.
14:17So, you have to go now.
14:20Won't you miss us?
14:23Mother, I will come to meet you every night.
14:27You won't be able to see me when the moon is not in the sky.
14:33You have been a good friend to me.
14:36But I have to go now.
14:39Chandni sat in her bamboo and said goodbye to her people.
14:45She was not sad.
14:47Because she knew that she would always take care of them from the sky.
14:52The bamboo took her to the moon.
14:55The bamboo cutter wiped his tears and waited for Chandni.
14:59And she came.
15:01When she came, she became the light of the moon.
15:04The moon shone on her beauty.
15:07Shehenshah did not marry anyone else.
15:10Every night, he would look at the moon for hours.
15:13And he would smile at the love of his life.
15:17The bamboo cutter changed his big mansion into his old hut.
15:23Because that was the only way Chandni could enter his house.
15:26At night, through the roof.
15:29The bamboo cutter and his wife spent the rest of their lives peacefully.
15:34End of story.
