Ajatashatru

Ajatashatru is the name given to a very important man who lived a very long time ago in a place called India. He was a king and he ruled over a big kingdom. He was very strong and brave and he had a lot of power.

One day, Ajatashatru had a dream that his own son wanted to take his place as king. He was very worried that his son would become the new king and he would lose all his power. So he decided to do something about it.

He put his own son in jail so that he couldn't become king. He did this because he loved his kingdom so much and wanted to make sure that nobody could take his place.

Ajatashatru was very clever and very good at solving problems. He also made a lot of rules to make sure that his people were happy and safe. He also built a big palace for himself and his family to live in.

Even though Ajatashatru lived a very long time ago, people still talk about him and admire him for being a good king.
