Eat together. One day, the husband went to plough the field under the house with the oxen. On the other hand, his wife is cooking rice at home and paying attention to her husband's working sounds from the field. At first, the husband's working sounds were audible from the house, but later she could not hear any sound from the field.

She guessed that he may take a break from the smoke. She pressed her ears again and again, but there was no sound for a long time. Then she thought that there might be something wrong with her husband in the field, so she sent the boy to observe the field's situation. "Hey boy, please go to the field and see where your father has gone." The boy ran for the field; when he reached the field, he saw that the oxen were grazing on the contour and that the plough was hanging with the oxen. But he couldn't see his father around the field. Then the boy returns home and explains the situation in the field to his mother. "Mom... Mom, oxen are grazing on the contour, and the plough is hanging on the necks of the oxen, but I couldn't see father and his handle around the field."

Then the wife ran to the field to observe the situation, but her husband was not there. The oxen are grazing on the contour. She and her husband looked everywhere. Then she took a look down the terrace.Then she noticed her husband had an accident and had fallen from the trace.His head was injured and bleeding a lot. He is already dead.
