Translation (Seng Pan) A long time ago, there was a man called Bawtau. He was a foolish man. One day, he and his boss went on a journey with a horse. On the way, they fell off from the horse. At a place, they rested and planned to cook a pot of rice. The boss found out that the pot was missing. So, he asked, "Bawtau. Where is the pot?" "Just now, it fell off from the horse," Bawtau answered. "You have to pick it up. Next time, pick up all the things that fall from the horse," the boss said. The next day, they continued their journey. On the way, the horse had a crap. Bawtau picked the crap and put it inside the basket. After a while, the horse had a crap again. He also picked it up and put it into the basket. Whenever the horse had a crap, he put it into the basket. When he and his boss arrived at a place, the boss took a look into the basket and found out that it was full of horse shit. "Why did you put the shit here?" the boss asked. "Master, you told me that I had to pick up all the things that fell from the horse and put it in the basket. That's why I did it," Bawtau replied.
