But if my wife comes to see your fine buffalo perhaps she will give you more. Never mind, I will take this chain and you can have my buffalo, said the man. Thank you, said Pak Pandir, you are very kind.
Pak Pandir thought the world was a beautiful place, with kind people. He took the scythe and set off home. Pak Pandir was very pleased with himself. Ive bought a fine buffalo, he called out as he arrived at his house. His wife and children rushed out to see the fine buffalo. Where is it?
Isnt this a fine buffalo? The children laughed. His wife cried. Her husband had exchanged her gold chain for scythe! For three days Pak Pandirs wife did not speak to him. But Pak Pandir did not even notice. He was too busy dreaming of a beautiful world. One day Pak Pandirs wife said to him, Please go to the house of the Good Genie and invite him to have dinner with us. All the villagers knew where the Good Genie lived- all except Pak Pandir. So Pak Pandirs wife told him how to go to the Good Genies house.
Go straight, she said until the path splits into two. Then take the left path. Not the right path. The left path leads to the Good Genies house.
The right path leads to the Bad Giants house. Off set Pak Pandir, saying to himself, Left not right over and over again so he would not forget. But at the same time he was dreaming.
He dreamt of bad giants turning into good genies. Then the world would really be a beautiful place. Pak Pandir was so busy dreaming that he did not notice that instead of saying Left, not right, he was saying Right, not left.
So Pak Pandir took the right path. Which was the wrong path! He knocked on the door of a huge house. The Bad Giant opened the door. Hello, Pak Pandir, said the Bad Giant. What a lovely surprise. You are looking well. Plump, and juicy enough to eat! Thank you, Good Genie, replied Pak Pandir. Im surprised you know me. Im happy you dont know me, chuckled the Bad Giant.
But everyone knows you, Pak Pandir. Youre the famous fool. Oh, I mean, youre famous. Its all right, said Pak Pandir. Please come and have dinner with us. My wife is cooking something special. Pak Pandir took the Bad Giant, licking his lips. I will be able to have a fine feast, with you, your wife and your children.
Pak Pandir took the Bad Giant back to his house. His wife and children were shocked. This was not the Good Genie. This was the Bad Giant! Quickly Pak Pandirs wife put the food on the table. Please eat, she said to the Bad Giant.
I will, said the Bad Giant. What a feast four at once! Five, said Pak Pandir, counting. There are five people in the room. Soon there will only be one, replied the Bad Giant. Suddenly Pak Pandir understood what the Bad Giant was planning to do.
The Good Genie wants to eat us all! I wonder when the Good Genie turned into a Bad Giant? Quickly Pak Pandir made a plan. Theres another family across the river, a woman with three small children, he said to the Bad Giant.
Come with me, Good Genie, and I will invite them to come for dinner. Of course, said the Bad Giant, thinking how much he enjoyed eating small children.
