Once upon a time there was a boy named Makato.

He was an orphan, and

had no friends or any relatives to take care of him. To make his own
living he did all kinds of odd jobs.

One day, after he worked in the fields he rested and one of his employer
asked him.

I would like to go to a journey for adventure in the northeast. i heard that

they have a good-hearted king, Pra Ruang.

Yes you're right. They have a kindhearted king, Pra Ruang.

The land you wished was called Sukhothai

What are you thinking so much deeply my boy?

Makato started his journey to the north-east then he meet an old woman
with a water pot on her head and the woman adopt Makato.

Wait for me Sukhothai

When Makato met the king, Pra Ruang gave him a cowrie shell. He went
to the market place and bought some lettuce seeds and he happily
planted the seeds when he arrived home

How many seeds do you want to buy?

Please, Let me my dip my wet finger in the seeds and the seeds that
sticked to my finger will be mine.
After a month, the seeds grew and the biggest lettuce was given to the
King by Makato. The King was amazed after Makato tells the whole story
behind the big lettuce.

Wow! Where did you get that?

The king was so glad that he made Makato as his right hand. Makato
grew up handsome and he married the Kingś daughter.

Sure.

I used the cowrie shell you gave to me and I bought some lettuce seeds
and planted it.
