Golden Paddy Rice

Jayden is a poor boy, living together with his poor parents. He does not go to school because his parents have no money for him to go to school. Everyday he will follow his parents go to paddy field to plant paddy. They are very hardworking and work until very late.

One day, Jayden put his paddy rice on the ground to dry because the paddy rice is wet due to the heavy rain. Suddenly there is a bird comes and eats some of his paddy rice. When seeing this, Jayden cries very sad because they really need the paddy rice which they are going to sell later to get some money. Now they don't have much paddy rice left and they will not have enough money to support their living.

The bird who eats the paddy rice tries to apologise to Jayden. But Jayden still keeps crying. Then the bird tells Jayden to wait for a while. After a few minutes, the bird comes back with some golden paddy rice. Jayden and his parents are so happy, they sell the golden paddy rice and get a lot of money.

When Jayden neighbour sees what happen to Jayden, he also plans to get some golden rice. So the neighbour also puts some paddy rice on the ground to dry (although the paddy rice is not wet). But after waiting for a few hours, no bird comes to eat. The neighbour is very angry, he just goes into the jungle and catches a bird and brings back. He then ries to feed the bird with the paddy rice. After the bird eats the paddy rice, the neighbour pretends to cry. He tells the bird that he needs to sell the paddy rice for the money. "But it is you yourself want to ffed me the paddy rice", the bird says to him. But the neighbour continues to cry, demanding for golden paddy rice.

The bird then tells him to wait for a while. A few minutes later, the bird comes back with some yellow (pyrite) paddy rice. The neighbour is so happy and plans to sell it to goldsmith in town. When the goldsmith sees the yellow paddy rice, the goldsmith calls the police. The police catch the greedy neighbour and put him into the jail for selling the fake gold.
