This story i read pretty recently in some Amar Chithra Katha..and this one is on Karna - the one and only original tragic hero ever. (side note : Sivaji Ganesan in tamil movie Karnan is mind blowing. all time favorite movie . thanks mom for making me watch it)
Well, the here's the story.
Krishna and Bhima have an argument. Bhima wonders why Karnan who was known for his benevolance is the best amongst the rest ? His argument : if he had Karnan's wealth he could be better than him.
Krishna disagrees and puts them to a test.
He calls Karna and Bhima and gives each of them a mountain of gold coins. He then tells them whomsoever finishes distributing the gold coins first is the more ?(most..help needed with figure of speech) "kodai vallal" of the two.
Time passes and Bhima is busy distributing his mountain of gold coins and Karna is already done!
Krishna asks Karna whether he is done already and he replies as a matter of fact "Yes! I gave the entire mountain to the first person who came!"
Bhima learns his lesson!
