Once there lived a pious brahmin in a village. He
used to perform religious rituals. On one occasion he was rewarded with a
cow by a rich man for his service. The brahmin started to bring the cow
to his home. On the way, three rogues saw the brahmin bringing the cow.
They were lazy and wanted to cheat the brahmin so that they could take
away the cow. They hatched a plan.
The first person approached the brahmin and
said, "Are you a washer man that you're pulling a donkey." The brahmin
was annoyed at being mistaken for a washer man. He went on. A little
later he was met by the second of the rogues. The second person asked
him why being a brahmin he needed to pull a pig. Now the brahmin was
confused but he went on. Some distance later he was met by the third
person who asked him why he was pulling along a wild animal. Now the
brahmin was totally confused and also afraid. He thought that it was a
devil animal which took different forms. He ran away leaving the cow
behind. The three tricksters laughed at the brahmin at having cheated
the cow from the brahmin.
