Makato and the Cowrie Shell (summary)
Supanneekhanchanathiti
A young boy named Makato was an orphan, and didn't have any way to support himself,
so he worked hard doing whatever Jobs that he could to survive. Makato was a very hard
worker, and people noticed that. He would dream of going on an adventure to a bigger place
where the land was fertile and the people were kind, and he was encouraged to do that.
One day, when he had prepared enough, he set out. It took him a month to get to the
bigger town, and when he arrived he asked a woman for water. He told her that he had come
such a long way because he wanted to see the king, who he had heard was kind. He worked
with the king's elephants and he started working for her. After some time working, he did
encounter the king, and during the encounter he picked up a cowrie shell that was lying on the
road and offered it to the king (Cowrie shells were used for money, but just one was practically
worthless).
When Makato offered the shell to the King, the King said he could keep it, and so
Makato pondered what he could do to honor the king's gift. He saw some lettuce seeds at a stall
in the market and thought that he could grow them. He asked the woman about them, and she let him have as many as would stick to his finger in return for his treasured cowrie shell. He grew the lettuces, and next time he saw the king, he gave one to him, telling him he grew them from the shell the king had given him.The king was impressed, gave him a job in the castle, and he eventually grew up and married the daughter of the king.
