Mahabali and Vamana
Vishnu transformed himself into a dwarf called Vamana and approached Mahabali while he was performing a yajna and asked for alms. Pleased with the dwarf brahmin's wisdom, Mahabali granted him a wish. He kept his word. Vamana asked for a simple gift — the amount of land he could measure in three paces — and the king agreed to it.
