    Once upon a time, in a grand palace lived a wealthy man. Despite his riches and seven wives, he was unhappy as he had no children. His vast empire had no heir, which filled his heart with sorrow.

    One day, as he was sitting in his courtyard, a beggar appeared. Seeing the poor man's condition, the wealthy man gave him food and clothes.

    Touched by his generosity, the beggar asked the wealthy man about his sadness. The wealthy man shared his sorrow of not having an heir. The beggar smiled, reached into his bag and pulled out seven mangoes.

    The beggar advised him to give each of his wives a mango. He said that after eating these mangoes, they would bear him sons. The wealthy man, desperate for an heir, agreed and did as he was told.

    As one of his wives was about to eat her mango, she saw that half of it had been eaten by a monkey. Ashamed, she didn't tell anyone and ate the remaining half.

    After some time, each of his wives gave birth to beautiful baby boys. However, the wife who had eaten the half-eaten mango gave birth to a hunchback child. The people named him Kubrra.

    All six children grew up to be handsome young men, but Kubrra, who was deformed and ugly, was often made fun of by others. Despite the mockery, he didn't care.

    Kubrra, though distorted and ugly, was incredibly intelligent. He had a heart full of courage and a mind brimming with wisdom. His brothers, on the other hand, were more interested in physical activities like hunting.

    One day, the six brothers decided to go hunting in the forest. They refused to let Kubrra come along, believing he would be a burden. However, Kubrra was adamant and secretly followed them.

    In the forest, they were captured by a vicious witch who planned to eat them. She locked them in a cage, while Kubrra, who had followed them unnoticed, watched from a distance.
