A long time ago, there was a poor couple who live in a small village. The couple did not have much but they own a piece of land on which they planted paddy. The couple was very hardworking. Despite the amount of work in the field, they never complained about the hardwork. Instead, they perserved to overcome all their difficulties.
All year round they work on their land. At the start of the rainy season, they had to make sure that there was enough water in the field. As their paddy began to ripen, they had to chase away the hungry birds which constantly flew around the area. When the paddy was ready to be harvested, the couple work extra hard.
Because of their dilligence, the couple was admire and respected by the villagers. Although the villagers were happ for them in many ways, they were sad because the couple was childless. While the villagers accepted the couple situation, the couple was not disheartened because they no that one day their prayers would be answered so live when on as usual for them. A few yers later, the couple was indeed blessed with a son. The couple doted on their son. They love him very much.
