Once upon a time, a millionaire named Culaka was a kind of person who possessed an exceptional ability of knowing things beforehand precisely by seeing signs of omen or augury.
One day, he saw a dead mouse on a side of the road on his daily journey.
|
|
|
A young pauper heard the millionaires word; he thought of a way to make benefit from the dead mouse. |
|
|
So he did as what he thought and earned 1 Kakanuk for the deal. The following morning, he spent the money to buy some cane juice and sell it at the citys gateway.
|
|
|
Every time of being given flowers, he sold them out in the market; finally, he could make the total income of 8 Kahapanas to himself. |
|
One day in the rainy season, a heavy storm broke out. Many trees in the palace were uprooted by the gale-force wind. Plenty of broken branches scattered here and there. |
|
|
Seeing the devastated site, the palace gardener felt so concerned about how to cope with the storm-ravaged grounds.
|
|
|
After having got the deal, the young man went straight to the play ground. |
|
|
|
The young man told all the boys what he wants them to help. The children so joined in and united their effort to gather all pulled-down trees and laying broken branches. |
|
|
|
Finally, he received the total amount of 16 Kahapanas from the sale as well as a large earthen jar and other five pieces of potteries.
