The Tale of Krishna and Kalia…

Hi there!! Today's story is from a long, long time ago when Lord Krishna was still a small kid. It's about his encounter with the poisonous serpent, Kalia. Let's go…

One beautiful day in Gokul, when the sun shone a bright yellow, and a breeze blew through the tall, green coconut trees, Krishna and a few of his friends had gone to graze their cows. They had tied them to a tree when they went to get some water.

Meanwhile, a huge serpent had swum into the Yamuna, polluting everything in his wake. His name was Kalia. He had multiple heads, with green hoods lining them.
He had swum all the way from his home, to run from his half-brother, Garuda. Garuda had been cursed, that if he ever went to Gokul, he would meet his end. Realising that Garuda couldn't come to Gokul, Kalia bolted to Gokul, where he wanted to make his own home.
Kalia went into the Yamuna with his wives, killing all in sight.
Soon, Kalia had killed all of the animals and plants in the river!!!! He sat in the river, chilling.

Krishna and his friends soon had gone to a faraway tree. They sat down, longing for some water. 
Krishna sent one of his friends to fetch some water for all of them. He had walked all the way until he reached the river Yamuna, which had turned a pitch-black colour. Unsuspecting, he scooped a handful of water and drank it all up. Within seconds, he had fallen on to the floor and died.
Confused, Krishna sent another one of his friends. He soon met the same fate of his friend before him.
Soon, everyone but Krishna had gone to retrieve water, but none had come back. Krishna walked to the Yamuna, where he saw the ghastly sight of his friends' dead bodies. He revived them with his magic and saw that the colour of the water had turned black.

Krishna eyed the water, looking for something, anything, that could've killed his friends.
Suddenly, he saw a slither in the water. He stared at it and jumped into the water. His friends begged him to stay because there was something dangerous in the water, but Krishna didn't pay heed to their pleas.
He swam and swam until he saw Kalia. Kalia attacked Krishna with his sharp fangs, but Krishna averted his bites.
Kaila tried to dig his fangs into Krishna, but he was too fast.
Kalia tried to coil around Krishna and crush him, but Krishna grew huge, blasting Kalia's grasp.
Krishna regained control and started to punch Kalia in the faces. He hit him left, right and centre.

Meanwhile, Krishna's friends alerted the people of Gokul, who came rushing to see the sight. Yashoda, Krishna's foster mother, came crying to the black river.
Meanwhile, underwater, Krishna caught Kalia's neck and lifted him up to the surface. Kalia hissed in pain, as Krishna pulled him above the water. He held him up, and started dancing on his many heads!!!! Krishna assumed the weight of the universe and banged his feet on Kaila's hoods. He roared in agony, as Krishna simply danced on his head.
The people of Gokul stared in awe, as Krishna belted Kalia.
Kalia's wives, who were spectating the fight, pleaded Krishna to let their husband go. Krishna had no intention of letting Kalia go, but seeing the plight of Kaila's wives, he made a deal with Kalia: If he ever came back to Gokul, Krishna would finish him off. Kalia agreed and swam away with his wives.
The city of Gokul had been, once again, saved by Krishna.

Thus, Krishna saved Gokul by banishing the evil serpent, Kalia.
