Little Boy - Hidden Badminton and Happy Stories (7)

Handless, footless, earless

“Mwana Swe, you are so funny.

"I'm going to kill you, I

He got angry and pulled the cloth off. It didn't come off easily, so he kicked the tamarind stump with his heel. Then he pulled it off and left.

"Well... the big snakes will punish the beast for being so angry."

The tamarind stump said softly.

Soon Balut saw an old man sitting on a stone in front of him. His hair, eyebrows, mustache, and beard were all white. His arms were very long. He leaned on the stone.

Even from where he sat, his big arms could still be plucking grass from the ground. Balut took one look at the old man with the long arms and quickly passed by with his axe.

"Hey, hey, wait a minute," Balut heard a voice and turned around.

“Aw.. a man.” “Huh.. a man, a man, even bigger than your father.”

"I don't know, I'm a monkey."

"If you're even considering me older than your father, then your father is gone too, isn't he?"

Balut became angry and his face turned red.

"My father is a man, not a big, ugly figure like you. I don't have time, otherwise I would have beaten you and left you as a weakling."

Balut left with a heavy thud and a loud thud. The old man laughed when he was left alone.

"Hehe.. These guys are trying to hold me down. I'll just throw the fish away and I'll be crushed to pieces. Hehe."

Soon Balut reached the entrance to the cave. As soon as he entered the first chamber, the snake raised its head and looked at him. Its face was grim.

"Hey..who's coming in?"

"Free"

"Why are you throwing stones into the water without answering my question?"

"I'm just answering, my name is Balut."

"Hey... you're not a real person, are you?"

"Because it's a human name, it's a slur. If it's a dog name, it's Aung Nak and Gok Ki, and if it's a cat name, it's Toe Shwe and Pusi."

"Wait, do you know my name?"

"Does the snake have a name?"

"Hey, I'm not an ordinary person."

"So, let's fight the snake"

"You and I are not talking properly."

"Now..I'll tell you what I want, and if I get what I want, at the end of the day, I'll take the pot of money that belongs to me in the room."

"What do you want?"

"I've been constipated for a week."

"So, would you like to eat the ripe tamarind with a pinch of salt?"

"Hey, I'm a snake, what do you think tamarinds are eating?"

Then Balut got an idea and went back out of the cave. He put a laxative in a dead frog he found nearby and brought it back to the big snake. As soon as the big snake saw the frog, its face became even more grim.

"Yeah... this guy fed me a rotten frog."

Food poisoning causes rapid death.

"Now.. I'll have to discipline you."

The snake exhaled steam from its mouth, and as soon as the steam hit Balut, Balut fell to the ground, sprawling.

It had been about a week since Balut had left, so his brother Rutta came with him, having borrowed five hundred rupees from the king to buy provisions.

Soon he returned with a cloth and a tamarind stump. He was walking forward with a cane, and the long-necked tree was knocked down. "Hey.. I'm done, tamarind stump."

Ruta tried to pull the cloth away. He couldn't pull it away, and then he became angry.

"I can't get rid of it yet, is that right?"

But he sat down and removed the tamarind stump without causing any trouble. From here, it sprouted.

"Hey..where are you going?"

"Hey... are the tamarind trees talking?"

"I'm going to the three big snakes."

"Oh... I'll go to the ones with no legs, no arms, no ears."

"What is that?"

"The names of the great snakes: one without legs, one without arms, and the last without ears. The one without legs owns the silver pot, the one without arms owns the gold pot, and the one without ears owns the medicine pot."

"Yes, I will go now."

"Wait, give me some water."

"Ha.. I'm not feeling well, I'll bet when I get back."

"I hope I'm still alive when you come back."

"I can't, I'm important."

"My brother Balut is lying because he fed the frog to the legless one."

"Oh... when I arrive, I'll stretch out my legs, arms, and ears."

When he left, the tamarind stump was empty.

"Cool, snakes are curled up, so they'll want to stretch out and stretch out."

Once again, the joker came to the old man with the long arms.

"Hey.. Hey guys, stay here."

"Ha.. a big ape?" "Another one is back."

Ruta turned and looked back.

The long-armed old man frowned.

"Ah... don't you know what he said?"

Hey, I'm hungry.

"If you have any food, please feed me."

"Just wait, I have to go."

Ruta immediately cut off the conversation and walked away with a sigh.

When he left, the old man burst out laughing.

"Hehe... I'm going to have to get another one too."

Soon, the mischievous creature arrived at the footless serpent.

The legless man looked up.

"Hey.. who is it?"

"Joking"

"What are you chanting and what are you doing?" "Rhut is my name."

"Oh... I guess humans have a lot of brainpower when it comes to choosing names. What's my name anyway?"

"No feet"

"Legless, you are close to the pot of money."

"Hey.. I'm suffering from constipation."

Then the fool went out of the cave and killed a baby frog, mixed it with a laxative, and fed it to the footless one. When the footless one ate the fresh frog, he sent the fool back inside.
