Story of Krishna and Draupadi
Once Krishna was doing with the sugarcane when he got his finger cut. On noticing the same, Draupadi, “the wife of five Pandavas”, immediately tore off a corner of her saree to put a bandage on Krishna’s finger. This made Krishna really emotional and he promised to help her whenever she would be in a difficulty, irrespective of the circumstances.
Consequently, he showed up to help Draupadi when she was being humiliated and her saree was being undraped in front of everyone. Krishna with his divine power made the length of saree infinite and they kept on trying for hours but it never ended. This is when Krishna acted the best brother. The story teaches how an ideal relationship between brothers and sisters should be like.
The Story of King Porus and Roxana
