Nonetheless, Lachhani continues to share folk tales, emphasizing their timeless appeal. In the tale itself, a kind and generous king ruled a kingdom with a cruel tradition: female babies were to be thrown into the sea at birth. Despite the king's goodness, he had lost two daughters to this practice, leaving him with only one son, a handsome and brave prince. One day, while returning from a hunting trip, the prince discovers two midwives about to throw a female baby into the sea, prompting him to intervene. The story highlights themes of compassion and the fight against unjust traditions, showcasing the importance of preserving and sharing folk tales across generations.
