The story revolves around two main characters, Kavita and Manohar. Kavita sells vegetables in a village and one day finds tomatoes floating in a river. She collects them, sells them, and earns a profit. However, a woman named Vimla deceives Kavita by pretending to be a friend and steals the magical tomatoes that bring wealth.
Later, Kavita discovers the truth and seeks help from a magical tree. The tree tells Kavita that it sends tomatoes filled with diamonds into the river on full moon nights, and whoever finds them becomes rich. The tree punishes Vimla for her actions and rewards Kavita with a big tomato, making her rich.
The second part of the story is about Manohar, a kind-hearted man who helps the needy. He plants a corn crop, but a heavy rain destroys it, leaving him in debt. Manohar goes fishing and gets lost in the river, but a magical plant helps him. The plant transforms his corn crop into a golden crop, making him and his family rich.
Both stories convey the message that good deeds and honesty are rewarded, while deceit and dishonesty are punished.
