| The Chicks Star. |
 |
Once upon a time, there was an old couple lived in a
small cottage at the edge of their rice field.
 
The old man
and the old women to foster one hen.
Later, hen lay eggs and then the hatched
out 7 chicks.
  |
The Hen tell
the children it's "remember my old man andold women have very the grace
to us."
One day, a monk came to the old couple’s cottage.
 |
The old couple thought that he would have no breakfast for the monk
on the next day. “What should we cook for his breakfast?” the old man asked.“Why don’t we kill the hen and raise seven little chicks for breeding. The old
woman replied.
 |
They didn’t know that the hen heard what they were talking about.
The hen and
seven little chicks burst into tears.
They felt very sad. After that, they ran away into a forest.
The hen felt
terribly sad and she said to the little chicks before she died“If I die, you
should be good chicks and repay the kindness of the old couple.”
Next morning, the hen and seven little
chicks came back to the cottage.
The old couple made a
fire ready and when the pot was hot the old
woman caught the hen and prepared
to put her in a hot pot.
When the
little chicks saw this, they ran together towards the fire.
By their merit, the seven little chicks were reborn as seven little stars. This
was their reward for their gratitude and devotion to their mother.
Now If you look
up the sky at night, you can see these seven little chicks stars. We call these
stars “ Dao Lookgai ”
‘This tale suggest that‘
Reflects to the
love of a mother to the children. Unity
Human kindness towards pets and the Grateful. The intention to act according
their roles the best.
