FARMER AND HIS FRIENDS

One day he said, “Good morning, sheep. How’re you?” The sheep said, “Fine. Thank you, Master.” “Please call me friend,” said the farmer. The sheep nodded. The sheep said, “Friend, we have grown to our full size. You can shear the wool. You can sell it at the market. You will get some money.” Hanumantha smiled and patted them gently on the back.
Hanumantha went to the cows. Before he could speak, the cows said, “Friend, you have given us enough food. You can sell milk at the market. You will get some money.” Hanumantha put his arms around their neck and kissed them on the forehead.
The hen and the cock saw Hanumantha coming towards them. The hen said, “Friend, I have laid some eggs. You can feed your daughters with them.” The cock said, “Sorry friend, I can’t give you anything. But I wake you and the villagers up every morning at the right time.”
Hanumantha took them to the bosom and caressed them. Later, Hanumantha sold the wool and milk at the market. He fed his daughters with the eggs. He bought an ox with the money he earned. All of them lived happily for ever.
