Legends for Little Hearts: Krishna and the Butter Pot

Mischievous Little Krishna

In the village of Gokul, there lived a playful little boy named Krishna. He had curly hair, a bright smile, and the sweetest eyes. But he was also known for his naughty habit—he loved butter more than anything else! 🧈💖

Every day, the women of Gokul would churn fresh butter and keep it in pots hanging high up from the ceiling. They thought it would be safe there. But Krishna had other plans!

The Butter Thief’s Tricks

One morning, Krishna called his friends and said:

“Let’s have some butter today!”

They brought a wooden stool and stacked it with pots and ropes. Krishna climbed on top with great balance, reached the pot, and scooped out the creamy butter. 😋

Sometimes, he even shared it with monkeys! 🐒💛
The women would run after him, shouting:

“Krishna! Stop stealing our butter!”

But his laughter filled the streets of Gokul.

🌱 Moral of the Story

Sharing brings joy, and innocence makes mischief lovable.
