- (continued from previous page)He carried the dog in his arms and the dog tore his face. His mother on seeing this was very angry and asked him why did he not bring him on a twine.
On the following day he went to work again, and going home his master gave him a leg of mutton. He thought of what his mother told him and tied it to a twine to it and dragged it along. When he got home his mother asked him why did not he carry it on his shoulder. Next day he got an ass. He put the ass on his shoulder and a princess who could not laugh saw him and she started laughing and she gave him a hat of gold.
