In the past, Tam and Cam were two sisters of the same parent. The two sisters almost controlled
each other's age. Tam is the eldest son, Cam is a concubine. Tam's mother died when Tam was a
child. After a few years, Tam's father also died. Tam stayed with his stepmother, who was Cam's
mother. But Tam's stepmother is a very harsh person. Every day, Tam has to work as a man to keep
watch, run out of buffalo herds, carry water, come cut potatoes, and pick up duckweed; At night, I
also grinded rice and crushed rice without running out of work. Meanwhile, Cam was pampered by
his mother, dressed in plain clothes, and spent all day at home not having to do hard work.
One day, the stepmother gave the sisters a basket each and told them to go to the field to catch a
shrimp. She promised: "Anyone who catches a full basket will reward you with a red bib!". In the
field, Tam got used to catching crabs and snails, so only one day he was filled with a basket of both
fish and shrimp. As for Cam, he was able to walk from field to field. He still had nothing until the
afternoon. Seeing Tam caught a full basket, Cam told her:
- Sister Tam, Ms. Tam! Her head was streaky, she humped [4] for deep, lest she scolded her mother!
Believe it is true, Tam went down into the pond and waded into a deep bath. Bran had the
opportunity to empty all the shrimp of Tam into his basket and then move forward with three legs
and four legs. When Tam stepped up, he had only a basket, so he sat down and cried. At that time,
the Buddha was sitting on the lotus, and suddenly heard the cry of Tam, immediately came down
and asked:
- Please hold it! Try looking at the basket to see if there is anything else?
- I took the goby fish home and dropped it into the well and raised it. Each meal, worth eating three
bowls, you will eat two, and one will bring it down for you. Every time you feed, remember to call it
like this:
After saying that, the Buddha disappeared. Plate according to the words of the Buddha dropped
down the well. Then from that day on, every meal, Tam will save the hidden rice and give it to him.
Every time he heard the call of the plate, he turned up on the water to catch the grains of rice
thrown down by the plate. People and fish get to know each other more and more, and grow up to
see them. Seeing that Tam, after each meal, she often brought rice to the well, the mother of her
scabies doubted, so she told Cam to go stalking. Bran hid in the bushes on the bank of the well,
heard Tam call him, so he recited it to memorize and then returned home and told his mother.
That evening the stepmother told Tam to get up early in the morning to go over the buffalo, and
said:
- Baby! The village has already started to ban copper. Tomorrow you will go to herding buffalo, you
have to shepherd the field far away, don't shepherd your family, the village will catch the buffalo
Plate obedience, the next morning take the buffalo away to eat. At home, Cam and his mother
brought a bowl of rice to the well. She also called him to eat as Tam called. Listen to the call, gulped
up to the water. Cam and his mother were ready to take them and took them to eat them. In the
afternoon, Tam took his buffalo home. After eating and drinking, Tam brought a bowl of rice to save
to the well. Plate called forever but did not feel faintly like always. Plate called forever, called
forever, finally found only a blood clot floating on the water. Knowing that there is bad for him, Tam
burst into tears. The lagoon appeared and asked:
- The human goblin has already eaten meat. Please shut up. Then came back and picked up his
bones, found four jars, put them in, and buried them under the four legs of the bed.
Tam returned according to the Buddha's instructions to find the ossicles, but kept looking for the
garden corners in the corner of the yard but could not find anywhere. A chicken saw that, told Tam:
- Our Department works! Let me hold the paddy, I dig the bones!
Plate grabbing paddy and throwing paddy to chickens. The chickens run into the kitchen for a while
and get the bone right away. The sheet was picked up and put into a jar and buried at the foot of the
bed as told by the Buddha.
Shortly after, the king held the festival for several nights and days. The old boys and girls in the
villages eagerly went to see. On the roads, clothes that flow from three to seven spill over to the
sutras like running water. The mother and daughter Cam also bought nice clothes to go to the
festival. Seeing that Tam also wants to go, the auntie longs. Then she took a match of rice mixed
with a match of paddy, and told Tam:
- Please pick up this rice and then go anywhere, don't leave it unfinished, come home with nothing
to blow.
After saying that, the mother and daughter left their clothes on the road. Tam sat and picked it up
for a while, but only had a handful of it, thinking that he didn't know when to finish picking it up, sad,
and then he cried alone. In the middle of that moment the Buddha appeared and asked:
- My aunt had to pick up paddy to give it paddy, rice it into rice, and then she could go to the festival.
When the collection is finished, the association has dissolved, there is nothing else to see
Buddha:
- Please stop crying. You bring the basket out in the middle of the yard, let me send a flock of
sparrows down to pick them up.
- But when the sparrow ate it, he still got beaten when he returned.
Naturally, there was not a flock of sparrows landing in the yard to pick up paddy in one side, and rice
out the other way. They groped and gurgled in just a moment and finished, not moving a grain. But
when the sparrow flew away, Tam sobbed and cried. Left asked:
