The story that I am going to tell now is - when four men were walking, they said that "Let's make servant to those who don't obey us," so they agreed and continued to walk. When all four men were walking, they met with a good man. "Hey, man," the four men said. "Yes," the man answered. Then, the four men said to the man that "If you don't listen to us, we will make you our servant. Thus, now listen to what we tell you." A man out of the four men then said to the man that "When I was in the bottom of my mother's womb, my father and mother went to the land of Mayu (the place where the parents of the wife live). When they were going to the land of Mayu, as it was in the monsoon season and flooded, my father and mother could not cross the river. So, I came out from the mother's womb and carried my father and mother on my back and sent to the other side of the river. Then, my mother put me inside her womb again and continued their journey to the land of Mayu. Do you believe me?" Although the man knew that it was a lie, she just answered that "Yes, I believe what you said." And, another man out of the four men said that "So, let me tell you something. OK?" "Yes, OK," the man said. The man out of the four men said that "When I was travelling in the past, I was a tree with a lot of fruits. I climbed the top of the tree to pick the fruits. I climbed the tree with a wood that was four times longer than the tree. He was already above the tree. I climbed like that four times over the tree and picked the fruits. Do you believe me?" "Yes, I believe what you said," the man answered. Then, another man out of the four men said again that "Hey friend." "Yes," the good man said. The third man said to the man that "When I was in the bottom of the womb of my mother, I was very thirsty and wanted to drink water very much. So, I came out from the womb of my mother and drank water from the well that was dug. After I drank water fully, I went back into the bottom of the womb of my mother. Do you believe what I am telling you now?" The man said that "Yes, I believe what you said." The man believed all about what the three men said. So, another man said again that "Hey friend." The man said that "Yes." The fourth man then said that "In the past, in the past, I was... I will tell you something. Will you believe me? I was taking a ship for seven days in the past. On the ship, when I just went out for a moment, the ship had already passed me and when I looked back again the ship, there was no more the ship there. Thus, as I needed to return home, I just walked on the water and returned home. Do you believe me?" The man answered that "Yes, I believe what you said." Thus, the man who was told by the four men said that "So, friends, I will tell you something now. OK? In the past, when I was doing a farm and planted cotton trees. I cultivated a lot of cotton trees but only one cotton tree was successful. In the only successful cotton tree, there was only one blossom. Ah, sorry - there were only four blossoms. Even though I planted the cotton trees on the whole farm, the only one tree was successful and there were only four cotton blossoms in that only one successful plant. The only four cotton blossoms transformed into humans and were wandering. They were my servants. The four men who transformed into humans are my servants. I think you four men are my servants. Do you believe what I said?" The four men said that "Yes, we believe what you said." So, the man said that "So, if you believe, come with me. You are my servants." The man told to the four men that "There was only a successful cotton tree among full of the cotton trees that were grown the whole farm. There were only four cotton blossoms in the only one successful cotton tree. The four cotton blossoms became the humans and escaped from the farm. You four men are my servants." The four men could not say they did not believe so they said that they believed what the man said. Thus, the four men became the servants of the old man. The story is ended here. Thank you very much.
