At a certain time there were two men, friends. Of them, one person
not having [food] to eat, was very poor. The other man had amply
to eat and drink. At that time the man who had not [food] to eat,
in order to get an assistance went near the friend who had [food] to
eat. Then at the time when he went to the friend's house, having amply
given him food and drink, the friend asked, "What have you come for?"
Thereupon the man said, "Ane! Dear friend, not having to eat and to
wear I came near you in order to get an assistance."
Then the man having gone calling him to the bread shop, taking bread
for ten shillings gave it to him, and said, "Here, friend, selling
these things get a living. I am unable to give an assistance for more
than ten shillings."
Thereupon the man having said, "It is good," at the time when he was
bounding about taking the bread box having walked until it was becoming
black, did not sell [anything]. Through anger that he did not sell
it, this man sat down near a tree, and said, "This day on which I got
the evil-looking (musala) bread is not good; I will eat these things."
At that time, the Devatawa who was in the tree, having become afraid,
said, "Ane! O Lord, don't eat me; I will give you a good article,"
and gave him a plate.
