The title of the story is a man who stole cattle. A long time ago, a man was doing his paddy fields with cattle. Since he worked with cattle for his paddy fields in the morning and was tired, he took a rest in the afternoon and released his cattle. After he released the cattle for a moment, he fell to sleep. At that time, a thief stole his cattle. When the man woke up, he could not find his cattle anymore. Thus, he followed the footprints of the cattle, and finally, a man was walking by pulling his cattle. The thief was walking quickly so the man chased him and said that "Hi man, you stole my cattle. Give me back now. Why did you do that? You are not good." The thief then said that "Hey man, what are you talking about? I am taking my cattle home from where I released it. As it is getting dark, I am going home now with my cattle." "No, no, it is my cattle," the man said. "Are you meeting with the wrong person or the wrong cattle? What are you talking about? It is my cattle," the thief said. "Man, this is my cattle. You just took it recently," the man said. "No, it is my cattle," the thief said again. So, the man said that "You are a thief who stole this cattle," and he called the judge said to the judge that "This man stole my cattle." Then, the judge asked the two men together that "When did you buy this cattle?" The owner of the cattle told how he bought, how he raised the cattle, and how he was using the cattle. The thief also told about what he had in his mind. Then, the judge separated the two men and asked individually. The judge asked first the owner of the cattle that "What do you feed your cattle?" "Since I just do paddy fields, after I finish the work of paddy fields, I used to feed sumpra (long vine-like jungle grass)that was grown next to my paddy fields. I just used to release my cattle there to feed it." Then, the judge also asked the thief that "What you do feed your cattle?" The thief answered that "I just used to feed sesame gruel and rice gruel my cattle and raised it." Thus, the judge gave the cattle laxatives so they saw that the dung of the cattle was only with sumpra and other grass. The judge also showed it in front of the public and said that "What the cattle eat is here we all see the evidence." So, the judge also punished the thief and also gave the cattle back to the owner.
