One bright morning in Gokul, Krishna, Balarama, and friends played outside. Warm sun kissed the grass, gentle cows chewed, and laughter filled the village air.

The children raced around and patted wet earth into tiny mud houses. In their minds, the lumpy towers became shining castles and grand kingdoms.

Krishna's cheeks were round, his eyes sparkled, and a cheeky grin stretched wide. Everyone knew that gleam meant an idea—and maybe a bit of trouble—was coming!

Suddenly a boy yelled, 'Maiya, look! Krishna is eating mud!' All the children spun toward Krishna, eyes huge with shock and excitement.

Mother Yashoda hurried over, hands on hips. 'Krishna, my boy, did you eat mud?' she asked firmly, though her voice was still warm with love.

Krishna gazed up with innocent eyes. 'No, Maiya,' he whispered sweetly. 'I did not eat any mud.'

Balarama stepped forward and pointed. 'He did! We all saw him put it in his mouth,' he declared with big-brother honesty.

Yashoda knelt, wiped Krishna's chin, and said gently, 'Open your mouth, Kanha.' Krishna shook his head, shy as a kitten.

'Please, open,' she repeated. Krishna slowly parted his lips. Yashoda peered inside—and saw no mud at all.

Instead, Yashoda saw the vast universe swirling. Bright sun, cool moon, and twinkling stars floated inside her little boy's mouth!

She saw rivers, mountains, clouds, animals, and people—even Gokul itself. She saw herself gazing into that magical mouth.

Yashoda gasped, forgetting to breathe. 'Who is this child?' she wondered. Krishna answered only with his playful, loving smile.

In that smile she remembered: he is my Kanha, my tiny son. She scooped him up and hugged him tighter than ever.

She whispered, 'Whether you hold worlds or just sweets, you must never eat mud.' Krishna giggled, promise sparkling in his eyes.

After that day, when friends tattled about mischief, Yashoda always checked first. For in her lap, she knew, the whole universe might be hiding.
