Once upon a time, there was an extremely kind woman, even though she didn’t possess wealth. Therefore, she was kind and merciful and generous. She lived in a small old house and earned a little wage through doing some errands for neighbors. Whenever she obtained a small wage due to her service for neighbors, she would become rich and charitable to the poor!
On a rainy dark night, while she was returning to her home, her way was filled with pits more than any time that passed. She didn’t see anything along her home’s way except a large black object inside a hole.
The woman looked at the pit and said, “This structure will be the only thing I possess, but if I only have something to put inside it.” And who could have left this vessel in the cave?
She looked around to see if she could find the vessel, but she couldn’t see anyone.
She thought rationally, maybe there was a lock on the vessel, so she left it alone. “Now I will take it home to put my shoes in it on my nose.”
Then she lifted the vessel’s lid to look what was inside. She looked in amazement: “The structure is full of gold. I’m confused about the poor.” In the beginning she stood without fear, then said to herself, “I feel I’ve become a very rich woman.”
After saying that several times, she said to herself, “How will I transport this load to the house? It’s heavy for the generous.” She thought about her burden and her love, and said to herself, “The night will come soon! But that’s better so the neighbors don’t see what I put with it, and I’ll spend the night thinking what I’ll do with the gold.”
She would buy a large house and live in it all night in front of the door, and steal the night and not work for the kingdom like the queen, or maybe spend the time and get some golden coins!
At that moment, the woman felt tired from stealing the small load. She stood up, then opened the door to see her load. But she found a surprise in the door and fell into its two eyes.
Then she said, “All right. I thought it was gold, but I’m confused in deed. The door is full of silver, and this means a toy. And with this great quality of kindness I’ll become rich.”
She started thinking what she would do with the silver until she stood and opened again, looking at the door, but that time she didn’t see any iron coins from the door.
She said, “All right. I learned once again, but I’m confused in deed. Maybe I can get compensation for the iron coins and I will sleep because I’m tired from the load. But I’m evil, I don’t want iron money.”
While she was thinking what she would do with it, she stood and opened again, looking inside the door, but she didn’t see a large stone inside the door. She said, “I’m confused in deed. I will use this stone to make my home’s door open.”
When she reached her home, she opened the door to take the stone, and placed it on the ground. But she found a light coming out of it, then it turned to a dark giant, then came out of it several people and small men. He started riding and laughing like a mischievous child!
The woman stood confused a moment, then fled in joy and said, “All right, I’m confused right now, very happy. I want to see the bogey-beast and laugh at it. Oh God, I feel I’m confused very much.”
She took her home with the laughing beast and ate the meal while laughing and playing with its movements.
