A legend recounts that: there was a monk at a pagoda with a lone disciple named
Phlaunch. The boy was very mischievous while the monk so naIve that no
devotees, both male and female, were sympathetic to either bringing him the
offerings or inviting him to have meals at their home. He lived a hard life, and
had an elephant.

One day the monk thought to himself that everyday no one offered him the alms,
so to make thing easy, why not buying some stuff to store for meals. With the
idea, he told his novice: "Ph launch! Go and get the elephant. Come with me to
the market to get something to be used as food " . The novice got the animal, and
the two headed for the market on the elephant.

On arrival , the master said to the disciple: "Buy anything that can last long,
unspoiled". Ph launch got a sack of salt. The master asked why he didn't buy
dried fish, instead of salt. The novice replied: "Salt can be kept for a long
period without getting spoiled. That is why I bought it". Because of his
stupidity, the monk did not utter a word.

The master rode the elephant back home while the disciple walked behind
carrying the salt. Half way, the monk looked at his boy. The sound of the
carrying pole made him think that it was comfortable to have it on the shoulder.
He asked: "Eh boy! Do you feel comfortable with that pole on your shoulder".
The disciple replied: " My dear master! Very comfortable, and it is light". The
monk then said: "You ride the elephant. Let me carry the salt" . He then climbed
down the animal and the disciple took over. The master told his student to wait
for him under a tree ahead. The student did not do as his master told him. Instead,
he rode the elephant as far as the pagoda.

The master carried the salt behind. As the sa lt was weighty, he frequently took a
rest. With his student not in sight, he then thought about getting hi s disciple to
come back and take the salt. When he was about to hide it in the bush, an idea
just flashed out in his mind. He thought that if he did not find a secure place to
hide the salt, and by accident when someone passed by and came across it, he
would take them all. So he thought that the only place that no one could spot it
easily was the river. He hid the two sacks of salt in the river and reached the
pagoda, where he asked his novice: "Why didn't you wait for meT'. The
disciple answered: "My dear master! I rode the elephant and was indeed willing
to wait for you. But the animal did not. I begged it. But he ignored and kept
going on until we arrived at the pagoda". The novice asked his master: "Where
did you put away the salt?". The monk replied: "I hid it where I marked with a
lotus plant".

In the next morning, the monk returned with his novice to collect the salt. He
said: " I hid it in the river" . The student exclaimed: " My god! It all dissolves".
Phlaunch took the two sacks of salt out of the water, only to find out it all
dissolves, and the string that was used to tight up the sacks also broke apart. Only
a lone fish was found in the sack. The novice told the master that the fish in the
sack ate up the salt. He showed the fish and the sacks to his master.

The master was so irritated that he slapped the fish in the face, but only had his hand
pierced with the fish barbs. The fish venom caused severe pain, making it so hard for
the master to stand. He then shouted: "Pull the barb off my hand. It hurt severely". The
barb got stuck so deep that it made it hard for the student to get it out. Once it was out,
the blood started to come out so heavily that it caused even more painful. Both the
master and the student returned to the pagoda, bringing with them the sacks and the
fish. At the pagoda, the monk said to his novice: "Phlaunch, let cook a pot of rice and
have the fish grilled. I will have them". After the pain caused by the
~~~d~ied down, the master felt into a deep sleep.

Plaunch cooked the rice and grilled the fish, He ate all the food, leaving only a
sma ll piece of rice and fish bones in the bowl and covered it, but not completely
closed. Waking up, the monk asked his disciple to bring him rice and the fish.
Ph launch behaved as if he went and fetch the meal for the monk. When his
master emerged, he said: "The fly eats up the rice and the fish. Only a small piece
of rice and fish bone remain. The monk believed it and without any doubt, he
gave the disciple a rattan rod and said: "Hit and do not let any fly in the abbot".
Ph launch then would spare no flies. Suddenly, a fly pierced on the master 's nose.
Urged by the monk, he hit it. The fly escaped, and he accidently landed on his
master's nose, which started to bleed afterward. Felt frightened, he rushed to his
parents' house and recounted the incident. The parents urged his son to get back
to the pagoda, but he refused. The monk went and told him to return, still he did
not for fear being hit by his master.

190ne day the monk hold a ritual to cast magic spell to lure back his disciple. Phlaunch was
aware of what his master was doing. To make his master convinced that his magic did work,
he came back to the pagoda. Aniving at the pagoda, he sneaked in quietly. He saw his
master sit reciting the magic spell and asked: "What are you doing, master?". The monk
lied: "I am reciting the magic to make myself invisible. I have just learned from somebody".
The monk thought to himself: "My channing magic is powerful. That is why my student
gets back" . When the moming came, the disciple finished preparing the meal. He said: "The
meal is ready". The monk replied: "So bring me the food". Ph launch brought food on a tray
for the monk. He pretended not see his master .and placed it on his master's head. The monk
asked: "Phlaunch! Why do you put the tray on my head?". The student said: "I cannot see
you". The master turned aside, and Phlaunch again placed it on his master 's head. The
monk said: "Phlaunch! You have it on my head again". The novice said: "Sony! I cannot
see you". That made the master believe that his channing witchcraft work well. And now
after he lied to his student about his invisibility magic, he found out that it was equally
effective. So he started to learn it by heart.

Phlaunch had the left-over after offering"the- msal to the n{onk. On(}.diy. d~votees invited
the monk..to have lunch at their !rome. Phlaunch said:" Ifyou~go to have lunch outside, don'
t wear the robe in order not to make-lwOfu out. Just put on the outer dothmg. 0 one wiJl
be able to see you because you learn a powerful magic that can make you invisible". The
master believed what was said by his disciple. Tn the morning, the mon.k"'told his student to
come along with him to have meal at devotees' house. Ire worn only a scant outer clothing,
thinking that this piece of clothing was enough because his magic was so powerful that no
one could see his private parts. He then set off with his novice.

On arrival, the devotees invited him onto the house. The food were brought before
him. As he did not put on the robe and was carelessly seated, at one point turning to

The master replied: "When I left, I took the eastern road". The student said: " Oh
dear! You might act against the taboo". The other day, you told me that when you
learn all magic spells, you must refrain from eating star fruits, let alone walking
under the star fruit trees. This will let all the spells just gone away. Your spell
vanishes because you walked under the star fruit tree. That is why everyone could
