A toddler who has grown a foot-long tail is being worshipped as a god in his home village.

Krishna Yadav, three, has become a spectacle with many believing he is the 'living incarnation of Bajrangbali', the Hindu Monkey God.

He was born with a lump of flesh on his tailbone which has grown into a real tail over time.

Dad Ramsundar Yadav said: 'I thought maybe it is a god's blessings and that my boy is actually an incarnation of the monkey god.

'But when we consulted the doctors, they told me that it is an unwanted growth that can be removed after a minor operation.'

People travel miles to see Krishna in Kukudi, Uttar Pradesh, India - and his neighbours say he has made the village famous.

His parents asked doctors to operate on the tail a few months ago - but Krishna mysteriously fell sick before the operation date.

Neighbours claim it is 'warning from the gods', his mother Kavita, 22, said.

She added: 'If we removed the tail, we may have to face the wrath of the gods.

在印度北方邦一个村子里，3岁的男孩克里希纳•亚达夫(Krishna Yadav)长了一条1英尺长(约30厘米)的小尾巴，当地人认为他是印度猴神“Bajrangbali”的转世。克里希纳出名后，还有村民远道而来祈求他的祝福。

据悉，克里希纳的尾骨上本来多长了一块肉，随着时间的推移，这块肉就长的像尾巴一样长了。SRN医院的维普尔•库马尔(Vipul Kumar)博士说：“克里希纳体内的激素不平衡，所以出现了这种增生，每2万人中就有1人有这种症状。这种病症虽然罕见的，但并不危险，多余的增生是可以通过手术切除的。”

但几个月前，克里希纳的父母准备带他去医院做手术时，克里希纳却在手术前神秘地病倒了。“每次我们准备好去做手术时，就会发生一些奇怪的事。要么是我丈夫突然资金周转不灵，要么就是克里希纳突然发起高烧。邻居们都说这是‘上帝的警告’，如果我们把小尾巴切除了，可能就得面对神的愤怒了。”克里希纳的母亲卡维塔(Kavita)说。

克里希纳的父亲说：“我想也许这是上帝的祝福，我们的孩子实际上就是猴神的转世。”（环球网）
