Once upon a time, back to the past five eons, there were two travelling traders who lived in Seriwa city. They both had the same name. They were named Seriwa after the city. One day, both traders took a boat across the river to bring goods to Utpura city for selling.

Even both traders had the same name but they had very different characters. One had a bad characteristic but the other one had a good characteristic.  

At the city of Utpura, once there had been one rich family, but later, the family became deteriorated. Only two persons in the family were still alive, an old woman and her granddaughter. They struggled to live every day. 

One day, the bad trader passed by the house of this family.

When the girl who was an heir of the ex- rich family, saw jewelry and then she wanted to have it. So, she ran back to her home to ask for money from her grandmother to buy jewelry. But her grandmother refused to give her and told her that our money had become less and less.

Once the bad trader passed their house, they brought the tray to trade it for jewelry. 

After he had considered the tray, he could know that it was a golden tray. So, he just contrived a plan to trade his goods for the golden tray on the cheap.

In the afternoon, the good trader walked by their house. The granddaughter asked her grandmother to buy her goods from the trader.

With love for her granddaughter, she was willing to indulge her granddaughter’s desires. So, they called the good trader to trade goods.

After he had considered the tray, he could know that it was a gold en tray. So, he told them the truth.

After confirming that it was a golden tray, the trader was bidding it for all his goods he had, but just some money for crossing the river.
