The cup of honey would give him

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following data.

He opened the door, but just a little, and shouted, Holy Mother, unless you promise to grant my wish, I will not open the door.

Kali became very angry indeed, but Raman was obstinate. After some arguments the Goddess had to yield.  Then he opened the door.  She entered.

Though she had ten heads, she was beautiful to look at. But Raman began to laugh as soon as he saw her.  He could not control his laughter.  He laughed and laughed and laughed till tears ran down his cheeks and his little tuft unfastened.

Goddess Kali was dumbstruck by this behaviour.  She asked him angrily, Why are you laughing like a fool?
Tenali Raman could not answer her. He was still laughing. This annoyed her more but she was helpless. She waited patiently.

After a long time Raman recovered and replied, Oh Goddess, forgive me. You are the most beautiful Mother I have seen in my life. But I am laughing because some foolish thought occurred to me when I looked at you.
The Goddess became furious and wanted to know what it was. Tenali Raman brought his palms together humbly and replied, Oh Mother, when I get a cold I find it difficult to blow the one nose I have.  I was wondering how you manage with the ten noses you have, when you catch a cold. Saying this he laughed, all the more.
The goddess could not help laughing too, when she heard him.  It was the first time that she had laughed at herself. She was pleased with the young man. So she offered him a boon. She gave him the gift of making people laugh.

Tenali Raman was not satisfied.  He said that the gift would only help others and not him. Kali thought that this was reasonable and she wanted to give him something more.
She took two silver cups and said, Son, here are two silver cups. One is full of honey, which will give you wisdom. The other cup contains milk which will give you riches. You can choose what you want.
