There were two brothers: Daju (Senior), who was once straight and innocent, and Bhai (Jounier), who was very clever. They lost their parents at an early age and suffered from hardship; then, when Daju was a little older, he decided to work at a landlord's house. The landlord had set a condition like this: "If the servant left his job, the condition was to cut off the servant's nose and ears, and if the landlord fired the servant, he would give all the property to the servant." The straight and innocent servant has been working for many years, but he does not pay for his work. Working was always imposed by the landlord. Because it was difficult to bear, the servant forgot about the condition he had agreed to with his landlord earlier. Then the innocent servant asked his landlord, "Please let me go." The landlord has not forgotten the previous condition. And according to the condition, the nose and ears were cut off and sent away. After a while, his brother also came to the village looking for his brother. Bhai became very sad to see his brother's condition. And after hearing all the stories of his brother, Bhai decided to take revenge on the landlord, so he reached the landlord's house as if he were looking for a job. The landlord has put up the same condition again. "If the servant voluntarily quits his job, his nose and ears are cut off, and if the owner terminates the job of the servant, he will get all the property of the landlord." The servant agrees with the landlord's condition, |

But he proposes one more condition with the landlord. "Ok, I agree with your condition, but I have one too. "Would you mind, please, letting me propose that?" The landlord asked him, "What is your condition?" Giving a verbal promise was fraught with social and religious dogma at the time.Then the servant presented his condition: "Landlord! "I have a weakness: I can't speak until I eat and can't move after eating." The landlord agreed to the condition proposed by the servant.It was a long time. The servent keeps staying at home, as before he told me he couldn't speak until he ate something, and when he ate something, he couldn't move. The servant does nothing, and the landlord becomes angry with the servant. One day, the landlord was going to visit the father-in-law's house. The landlord rode a horse, and the servant had to follow the horse carrying a gift basket. The landlord said to the servant, "I'll ride
"You must follow the horse, and if anything falls behind me, you must pick it up and continue."The landlord was on horseback, and the worker was following the horse. A horse fell down shit on the way.The servant picked up as much shitdung as the horse did on the way to the destination.When he reached the destination, the landlord asked the servant to give him the gift he had brought. When the family (the landlord's father-in-law) looked at the gift, there was only horse dung. The landlord then exclaims to the servant, "Hey, god!... what did you do here?"The servant replied, "You told me to walk behind the horse and pick up whatever falls." I picked up the load and put it on the truck." The landlord was shocked. The host family asked the servant about the son-in-law's food habits, and the servant said that "he prefers straightforward foods." They offer straightforward food to the son-in-law and well-prepared food for the servant at dinner time. When the landlord returned home, he told the servant, "You are fired right now and leave from here."After this, the clever servant reminded him of his condition and said, "Thank you, landlord, for letting me go, but according to the condition, I'll get all your properties; please transfer the ownership of the properties into my name." And all the property of the landlord was transferred into the name of the servant. After that, the brothers enjoyed their happy lives.
