MAKATO AND THE COWRIE SHELL-

THAILAND
 Makato and the Cowrie Shell – Thailand
Once upon a time there was a boy named Makato. He
was an orphan, and had no friends or family to take
care of him. Because he had to make his own living
he did all kinds of odd jobs: chopping wood, feeding
pigs, clearing and cleaning. He didn't mind to work
hard, and despite his small wages he was satisfied
with his life.
He was only 4 when his mother passed away, but he remembered
some stories she had told about the kind-hearted king of Sukhotai.
Ever since he was small he wanted to meet this king. One day, when
helping a friend to find food for elephants, he found so many
branches that the friend offered him a job to become the assistant of
the King's mahout. He worked hard cleaning elephants sheds and
finding food. One fine morning Makato's patience and hard work got
rewarded: he was to accompany the King's elephant at a parade. As
the king mounted the beast, in his splendid, shiny costume, he
dropped a tiny cowrie shell. Makato picked it up and held it out to
the king. who told him to keep it.
 At the time the people of Sukhotai used cowrie shells as money,
and although one little cowrie had little value, he wanted to use
it wisely. He went to the market to buy seeds, yet quickly realized
he could not even buy the smallest bag of seeds, while he noticed
a lettuce seed stall.

"Lady, if I dip my finger into this pile of seeds, can I take those
that stick to my finger for one cowrie?", he asked. "Well why not",
replied the sales lady, amused by his suggestion. Makato carefully
scraped the seeds from his finger and planted them, watering the
tiny sprouts daily, until the garden was covered in fresh, green
lettuce. Proud as he was, he offered to king his first produce.
 Where did you get these, my
boy?" the king asked surprised,
and Makato told him the story.
He king was impressed by so
much intelligence and industry
that he offered him a fixed
position at the palace.
