24. Once upon a time there was a boy whose
name was Makato. He was an orphan,
for his father and mother had died when
he was very young. He had no brothers,
sisters, cousins, or friends to take care of
him, so he had to make a living for
himself. He did every kind of work—
carrying heavy things, clearing away the
forest, or feeding pigs. He never idled
over his work, and although he was paid
only a small wage, he was satisfied.

25. He knew that if he did not work he would
starve. Wherever he went his employers
praised him for being sensible, hard-
working, good-tempered, and cheerful.
He left his village and set out into the wide
world & go to Sukhothai.He walked along
cheerfully,enjoying new insights and
talking to the people he met on the
way.After a month's journey,he reached a
village on the boundary of the Kingdom of
Sukhotai.Fortunately he met an old
woman who helped her. Then, he finally
met the King.

26. The day he met the king, Makato
impressed him after sharing his
life to the curious king…& when
the king was about to live-
Makato saw a little cowrie,a small
shell with fine gloss used as
money, lying on the ground.
He ran to pick it up and held it
out to the king, but the king
simply gave it to him with a smile.

27. At that time the people of
Sukhothai used cowrie shells as
money. Although
one cowrie shell had little value,
Makato wanted to make as much
use of
it as possible, for it was the king’s
gift. For a long time he could not
think of a way to use it so that it
would earn more money for him.

28. One day he passed by a stall
in the market where the
seeds of
many different plants were
sold. He looked along the
stall and
caught sight of a basket full
of lettuce seed.

29. Lettuce! He could grow small
plants like that. He asked the
jolly-looking woman
at the stall if he could buy
some in exchange of his cowrie
shell. At first the woman
laugh& said that, it won’t buy
anything.

30. Makato eagerly told the woman
that he would only dip his finger
into a pile of seeds; then he’ll
take the seeds that stick to it—
that must be about right for one
cowrie shell-the woman was
amused. So she agreed. &
Makato paid the woman his one
cowrie shell.

31.  Makato paid the woman his one
cowrie shell. Then he put his finger into
hismouth and dipped it into a pile of
seeds. When he pulled his wet finger
out, it
was covered with seeds. He carefully
scraped them off his finger into the
palm of
his hand and went away happily,
clutching the seeds.

33.  Now that he had seeds, Makato broke
the soil and sowed them at once. He
watered the seed bed every day and
soon the young plants appeared. Day by
day he cleared more ground and
planted mo garden was covered with
them. He was very proud of himself
because he had
done so well.

35. One day the king passed by the elephant
sheds again. Makato waited his
opportunity, then knelt down and
proudly presented his biggest bunches
of lettuce to the king.
The king was surprised & was puzzled.
Makato told the king the whole story.
The king was impressed with his
intelligence and industry.

37. So much so that later on he gave Makato a job
in the palace.
As the years passed, Makato grew tall and
handsome. He mastered every grace and
served the king well. He was so loyal that
the king trusted him absolutely. He was
promoted to higher and higher positions
until he was given the title of KhunWang,
which meant that he was the most
important person in the king’s court.

38. He was also happily married to a
beautiful young daughter of the
king. After that,the king made
him the ruler of Mon.
So it was that Makato, who had
once been a poor orphan,
became the king of
that prosperous kingdom.
