The �nker kept the tea ke�le with him. At night, it changed into a
badger again. The badger explained that it was not a devil or the prod-
uct of any black magic. It also said that it had been tortured by people
previously. The �nker took good care of the ke�le badger. They both
became friends.
When the badger realised that the �nker was poor, it offered to help
him by performing as a circus animal. They named their show the
Bumbuku-Chagama. Many people came to watch the performance of
the talking walking shape-shi�ing badger. They earned a lot of money;
the �nker became rich.
A�er many years, the badger wanted to leave because he did not
want to remain a badger anymore. He wanted to become an ordinary
tea ke�le again.
Fulfilling his friend’s last wish, the �nker gave the tea ke�le and half of
his wealth to the temple.
It is said that the ke�le was worshipped at the temple for many years.
