why did bull ask his master to place a bet with the merchant?
Answers
Long long ago, in the country of Gandhara in Northern India, the Enlightened Being was born as a calf. A Rich Old Man bought the calf and being very fond of the gentle animal, named him ‘Delightful’. The Rich Old Man took good care of Delightful and fed him only the best. When Delightful grew up into a big fine strong bull, he thought, “I was brought up by this generous man. He gave me good food and constant care, even in times of difficulties. Now I am a big grown up bull I would like to use my strength to give something in return to my Master”.
So Delightful said to the Rich Old Man,“Sir, please find some wealthy merchant who is proud of having many strong bulls. Challenge him by saying that your bull can pull one hundred heavily loaded bullock carts.”
