Note 1 — The Story of Kaḷundāwa

H. (Henry) Parker translation

This boy again one day went to another man to ask for (borrow) a yoke of oxen. When he went there the man said, “I cannot to-day; come to-morrow.”1 The man brought him there many days. He did not give the yoke of oxen: “There are no oxen with me to give,” [he said]. Well then, this one in sorrow came to his house.
