HIS MOTHER SAID, “I WISH I COULD SEE YOU AGAIN..”•
HIS FATHER SAID, “WISH FOR GOLD..”
HIS WIFE SAID, “WISH FOR A BABY…”•
THE FARMER DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO….•
NEXT DAY, HE WENT TO THE PADDY FIELD AND TOLD THE FROG HIS WISH
I wish my mother could see my wife rock our baby in a gold cradle…..
LONG AGO, PEOPLE WORKED IN THE PADDY FIELDS WITHOUT ANY ANIMAL HELPERS.

LIFE WAS HARD AND PEOPLE WERE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME
THEY CRIED OUT TO GOD FOR HELP.
THE GODDESS OF MERCY HEARD THEM.
SHE SENT BUFFALO TO HELP THEM IN THE PADDY.
