Listen now!
It was a summer evening. In a far-off obscure village an old farmer, Kasper by
name was seen relaxing in the twilight shade before his cottage door after the
day's toil. The time being fine, and mind free, he was absorbed in looking on at
his two little grand children engaged in play. As the children were digging here
and piling up a mound there, they made a big hole in the mother earth that
treasures diamonds. As if by magic, they came upon a treasure. Their rare find
was a circular, white object with some little holes in front and a big one at
the bottom, but fully covered with dark soil. They were amazed at it. Imagined
little to get at it. No clue flashed across their little minds. 'What it is, and
why should it lie hidden here, gripped their attention? They stretched their
imagination and exchanged
looks of enquiry. Poor kids! They were no match to such a mysterious hidden
treasure. Mature minds may solve the riddle and explain it off-hand bringing out
its multi-faceted history woven with the threads of science, history and
philosophy.
