The mule and the man. This story was about a man who lived in a village long ago, and he was poverty-stricken. He was poverty-stricken, extremely poor, but he never collects or solicits other people's goods and property for free. He lived like a very righteous man. He was poor but honest and lived in poverty, and one night he had a dream. In the dream, a young man of his age spoke to him. "Oh my dear friend, I want to come and stay with you," "Please accept me and welcome me," said the young man. So, "I'm just the poverty man and I had no one to stay with me. Why do you want to stay? “I will not be able to welcome you well either,” replied the poor man to the young man. At that time, he could not see the young man in the dream. The young man disappeared from his dream. The next night, the young man returned and said the same thing he had said the night before. In the dream, the poor man repeated the story of how poor he was the night before. After saying that, the young man returned to his dream on the third night and said the same thing the night before. The young man repeated that "You must be warmly welcome with good hospitality to me." So, he woke up from the dream, and the next day, he found a white mule lying cold in the rain on his way home from work. So, he took pity on the white mule, took it home, and set fire and helped him warm. When the white mule got well, he fed the corn it was stored by him for planting. Then, "I picked up a white mule and fed at my home, "Please let them know if the owner comes," the poor young man advertised to the people of the village. The Merchants often passed by with their mules through the village, so the poor young man thought that one of them left a mule. Despite the announcement, the owner of the mule did not appear. He fed the mule until two and three years. After catered for the mule for two or three years, he continued to mow the grass, tied it with long ropes, and fed it. When the owner of the white mule did not appear up, the poor man owned the mule. Then one night, in a dream, he dreamed again of the young man who had been in the dream before meeting the mule. The young man came to the poor man's dream and said, "Oh my friend, do you still not know me? "Don't you know me? We were friends back then. You helped me a lot when I was in so much trouble, so now I come to you to help you again," and "now I am an adult, I can carry my merchandise. Let me carry goods and merchandise, and make money to buy goods." continued the young man in the dream. So, the poor man replied, "I do not even have the money to buy any merchandise to let you carry." When the poor man said that, the young man in the dream replied, "Hire me to the merchants who are passing by from this village. Then you can get money to invest and use it to buy and sell goods," replied the young man in the dream. The young man said that and disappeared from the dream. He would never see him again. As the young man in the dream said, he hired his mule to the merchants passing through the village. After hiring for a year, he made a lot of money. He took back his white mule because he had a lot of money. He used his money to buy and sell goods and merchandise on his mule. He trades with mules, bought more mules, and became very rich with many servants. He became wealthy and he was able to work with his white mule for another two or three years and became very rich again. Then the young man in the dream came to his dream again. “Oh my friend, now you are very affluent already,” said the young man in the dream. "You are so affluent that you have nothing you need." "That's enough of me to come and help you, "I'm going to get it back," continued the young man in the dream. So the wealthy man said to the young man in the dream, "You do not have to go anywhere, do nothing, do not carry anything, and do not go anywhere, just stay here." "That's not going to happen, "even I won't go anywhere, I have to go back," continued the young man in the dream. The young man then disappeared from the dream, and in the upcoming early morning, they found his white mule dead. "It was my friend," said the wealthy man. He was also so thankful, and he was crying with great sadness and great sorrow. With that, he buried his white mule with funeral service like a human being. From then on, the man was once very poverty, but with the help of this dead white mule, he became a very wealthy man.
