THE SNAKE AND THE FARMER |
|
| On the
following morning he again took some milk. When, however, he went near the pit, he saw a
large gold coin lying at the mouth of the pit! The farmer thought: "The field-God must have been pleased with my worship. He has given me this gold coin to help me out of my poverty!" He took it and, after pouring milk into the pit, returned to his house. The following morning he found yet another gold coin in the same place. Thus everyday he offered the snake some milk and got a gold coin the following day. One day he had to go to another village on some urgent work. So he called his son and said: "Son! do not forget to worship our field-God at the pit with milk everyday, when I am away." The son said, "All Tight, father. I won't forget." After the farmer had gone, his son took the milk to the field. He too found a golden coin. |
