“lesung” as a boat”. The “lesung” was happy and thanked the old woman.The little boy
continued his journey. While he was passing through the village, he saw many people
gathering on the field. The boy came closer and saw a stick stuck in the ground. People
challenged each other to pull out that stick. Everybody tried, but nobody succeeded. “Can I
try?”, asked the little boy. The crowd laughed mockingly. The boy wanted to try his luck so
he stepped forward and pulled out the stick. He could do it very easily. Everybody was
dumbfounded.

village. And no one was saved from the water except the little boy and the generous old
