Summary

This story is based on a fable from one of the world's ancient works of literature, ‘The Mahabharat.' It is a fascinating tale about two brothers who constantly bicker over trivial matters. One day, amid a heated argument, they curse each other to become a turtle and an elephant. Much to their surprise, their curses come true, and they find themselves in a forest, unable to communicate.

As the story progresses, we witness the consequences of hostility among family members. The story beautifully depicts how being hateful towards each other only leads to isolation and despair.

This story showcases how life-threatening situations can bring even the worst of enemies together. It reminds us of the significance of being grateful for and cherishing what we have in life. The brothers, who were once at odds, learn to appreciate each other's company and support in the face of adversity. It is a poignant reminder of the power of forgiveness and the importance of family bonds.

    You Risk Your Life by Joseph Slotkin - This was the audience participation show that couldn’t be topped!  
When the Broadcasters Association of Democracy Inc. telecast its first nationwide surgi-drama in color, Pat Price, who was watching the screen across the mahogany in the Wish-A-Wile Bar on Wilshire near Vermont, got a brainstorm that came close to revolutionizing the scientific outlook, and certainly did make show business history. 
Pat Price was one of the sharpest promoters in the Hollywood public relations game. He was in the Wilshire Boulevard bar mooning around for inspiration for a kinescoped show he was building up into a package, when he saw the sheeted anesthetized body as the telelens saw it. 
Then he saw it as his miasmatic Muse saw it.
