One upon a time, there lived a rich couple with a son who was very knowledgeable about religious principle. The boy was named Thorm-bal Koma. He attended the religious assembly every day at the religious assembly hall, where he won respect and affections from people, young and old, man asd woman alike, who listened to the everyday sermon. Everyone often praised Thorm-bal Koma for being a small,but the most intelligent boy ever. And this made Kabel-mohaprum jealously furious. He thought to him self : "Well! Thorm-bal Koma, you have many people respecting and loving you. You'll see. I will use my wisdom to find ways of defeating you". He then descended to see Thorm-bal Koma at the religious assembly hall. "Thorm-bal Koma, I come down here in order to challenge you to a bet. If you can answer my puzzles, I will offer my head to the dharma. But if you fail, you will have to do likewise".
Thorm-bal koma asked lord Brahma: "What are you puzzles, lord?". The Brahma said:"Well! listen! I want to ask about human happiness. How many ate they? You get it? You have seven days to give me the answers. Thorm-bal Koma was very sad after receiving the puzzles from kabel-mohaprom. He locked himself up in the room, ignoring all food. After many days of thought,Thorm-bal Koma was so helpless in life that he decided to leave the posh residence without informing his parents. Thorm-bal Koma ventured in the forest late into the night, and while resting himself against a palm tree,he heard an eagle which built a nest on the top of the palm tree consoling its hatch lings: "Stop crying. Tomorrow morning we will have the flesh of a holy man for food...! Because Kable-Mohaprum has got him to answer the puzzles. ButThorm-Bal Koma is not able to solve the riddles." The hatching asked their mother: "What is the riddle, Mum?", the eagle said: "How many human happiness are there". "And how many, Mum?", they further asked.The mother answer:"3 time a day. In the morning it exists in the face. When wake up, people will clean their body, while in the evening, before going to bed, you have to wash your feet. That's all, my dear!". After having overheard the conversation, Back sprung to his feet, looking up at the eagles and uttering: "Wonderful!" He thanked the birds and returned home. When the morning came, the boy said good-bye to his parents and set off for the religious assembly hall to answer the puzzles set by Brahma. As schedule, Kabel-mohaprum came down to the earth together with his seven daughter. At the religious assembly hall, the Brahma went to sit on a seat, surrounded and humbly revered by crowds of people. He asked Thorm-bal Koma: "Well! Thorm-bal Koma! Have you got the answers to my puzzles?". The boy said yes and started to gave the answers. He said that first, in the morning when people get up from they sleep, they will clean their face. Second, in the chest. When people feel hot, they will wash their body or take a bath, while thirdly, the happiness exists in the soles of the feet, people often wish their feet before goring to bed. "Bless you! Torm-bal Koma,you gave the right answer. I will cut my head to offer to you as I promise". "Lord Brahma! I do not want it. please forget it", "Thorm-bal Koma", replied. But Kabel-mohaprum did not agree. He told his 7 daughters to get him the sword and said: "my dear! if you have my head thrown onto the ground, an inferno will rage as far the hell. And if you have it tossed in the sky, the fire will reach the celestial word. So place it on the gold place". Kabel-mohaprum then put the sword to his neck with the one hand, and with the other he placed his severed head on the gold plate. His seven daughters flew back to the heavenly word with their father's head on the gold plate. People, both men and women, in the village all admired Thorm-Bal Koma being able to answer all the puzzles. And the boy since then had led a peaceful.
