    Once upon a time, in a small village, lived a shepherd who was beloved by all. He was well-known for his wisdom and had a solution for every problem. He was especially popular among the children of the village. Among these children, was a boy named Raju.

    Raju was quite the smart and intelligent child. He always maintained a keen eye on everything around him. He was quick on his feet and sharper in his mind. This made him stand out among his peers.

    In the first round, a question was asked with four possible answers. The time to answer was limited, so all the children started pondering over the question. But Raju gave an answer almost instantly, surprising everyone.

    In the next round, the children had to solve a riddle. The riddle was quite complex and the given time was rather short. The children were puzzled and started to rack their brains. But yet again, Raju was successful in providing the right answer with his intelligence.
