In the past, there was a naughty boy. He was naughty no matter how much his parents taught him good manners. So, they sent him to school. The teachers couldn't teach him too. At that time, a headmaster of that school read the boy's palm and looked at his fortune. He saw that the boy was going to die soon. So, they sent the boy back to his house. They said to the boy, "Your parents call you to come back." Then, the boy went back to his house. On his way back home, he saw that there were cows eating grass on a farm. He drove the cows away and fixed the fence. He continued going back home. There, he saw a stream and sat beside it. While sitting there, he saw a group of ants going back and forth on a piece of wood because they wanted to pass the stream. So, he put the wood on two sides of the stream and helped the ants pass it. The ants were very happy because they could pass the stream. After doing that, he continued going back to his house. When he arrived home, his parents asked him, "We sent you to school to learn. Why did you come back home?" He said, "The headmaster told me that you two called me back to come back home." After hearing what their son said, the parents said, "Alright. Okay then. Just stay at home." After two or three days, his parents said to him, "Now, you go back to your school." So, he went back to school happily. When he arrived at school, the teachers were surprised by seeing him, "His fortune told him that he was going to die soon. But, how could he still be alive?" The headmaster was surprised too. So, he asked the boy, "We sent you back to your house. Why did you come back?" They were surprised and asked him about that. Then, the boy answered, "On my way back home, I saw some cows eating grass on a farm. I helped driving them out. And I saw the ants trying to pass the stream. I helped them too. Then, I went back home, and I came to the school again." At that time, the teachers said to him, "We sent you back, not because your parents called you. We saw your fortune that you are going to die soon. But you came back here alive. It's alright then." Then, the teachers accepted him again and taught him good manners and education.
