Bimbisara

Bimbisara was a very important king who lived in a place called Magadha, long long ago in India.

Now, imagine a time before you were born. That's how long ago it was.

Magadha was a very powerful kingdom, and Bimbisara was very clever and brave. He was also very rich! He had lots of money and things, like golden jewelry and fancy clothes.

Bimbisara was also very wise. He knew how to make friends and allies instead of enemies, which is very important. He made friends with other kings and people from different kingdoms, and this helped him to stay strong and powerful.

He was so important that even a famous monk named Buddha visited him. Buddha was very wise and taught Bimbisara and the people of Magadha about the importance of being kind and respectful to all living things.

Unfortunately, Bimbisara had some trouble towards the end of his life. His own son, Ajatashatru, became greedy and wanted the throne for himself. In the end, Ajatashatru took over and imprisoned his own father.

But we remember Bimbisara as a great king who did many good things for his people and kingdom.
