Then said the youngster, "The Hettirala's son goes in the cart;

I cannot go on the ground."

After that, the Carpenter also took and gave (anna dunna) a cart and

a yoke of bulls to the Carpenter's son. Now then, the Carpenter's

and horse carriage. The Hettirala's son began to go in the horse

carriage. Then the Carpenter's son does not go to school.
