Long, long ago there was a very poor family in a village. The young son was called Pay Too. His friends were very rich and could afford a good education, unlike himself.
One day, he saw a crane find a fish and catch it in its mouth. He did the same as the bird using a spear and catching a fish in his mouth. He became very proficient at this and also at catching other objects.
The king heard about this and called the boy to his palace and asked, ‘Who taught you this?’
Pay Too replied that he had no teacher as such not wanting to reveal that his teacher was a bird.
The next time he tried to catch a fish in this way at the request of the king, he failed as he worried about his dishonesty. He suffered an accident with the spear.
The king thought he had been lying. Therefore, Pay Too suffered a sad fate for not telling the king the truth and showing respect to his teacher.
