The stories of Little Krishna has always enthralled the kids of any age. Today, on the occasion of Janmashtami, we bring you one of the most popular stories of Krishna.
Krishna loved eating butter. As Krishna grew older, his fondness for butter had grown so strong that he would gang up with his friends to get the creamy goodness whenever he could.
Krishna started stealing butter from his own house and neighbors’.Knowing this, Gopis, the mothers of all the children, and Yashoda hung up the butter so that Krishna wouldn’t be able to reach it.
Krishna and his friends weren’t the ones to give up easily. They worked out a solution to this. The next time they raided a house for butter, to reach the pot, Krishna, Balarama- his elder brother and other kids would open the roof tiles to access the pots. At other times, they would climb on each other’s shoulders to form a human pyramid. He reached the top and broke the pot of butter. The friends relished it, much to the anger and disappointment of the gopis!
Krishna, the eternal ruler of hearts, stole butter from the neighborhood. Along with his friends, he would quietly enter people’s houses and grab clay pots full of freshly churned butter. And hence even to date, he is addressed as Makhan Chor.

Moral of the story– Focus on the solution and not on the problem
