    King Angle Kumar, a wise and beloved ruler, had a peculiar love for mathematics. He dreamt of a special temple that would astound everyone with its charm and intelligence.

    He summoned the finest architect, Pythagoras Swaminathan, and his assistants, Acute Das and Obtuse Acharya. The king shared his dream, 'I want a temple that will gleam with golden light on my birthday every year!'

    Swaminathan began the construction. He used special stones that could reflect sunlight. The main hall was designed as an octagon, with intricate patterns of triangles, squares, and circles.

    As they worked, they educated the local children about angles and how to measure them. The children joyfully discovered right angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles all around the temple.

    The most crucial part was the roof. It was designed as a pyramid with a 51-degree slope. Swaminathan explained, 'The angles on the roof will ensure the sunlight hits the temple perfectly on the king's birthday.'

    Years later, the temple was finally complete. It was a spectacle, adorned with golden decorations and intelligent mathematical designs. The king was elated with the outcome.

    On the king's birthday, the kingdom assembled at the temple. As the sun climbed higher, a ray of light pierced through a small hole in the roof.
