This tale goes like this :
A poor family had a son called Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai. He ate a large meal. For each meal, he ate seven vessels of steamed sticky rice and seven jars of fermented fish.
One day his father and mother went into the forest to seek food. Before leaving home, they steamed a big vessel of rice but their son ate it up. When arriving home, his father and mother blamed their son. They wanted a way to get rid of Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai. When they agreed, the father took his son to round up wild elephants. They hoped that wild elephants would kill their son. Unexpectedly, Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai had already rounded up an elephant. He rode it home happily. His father was very angry.
The following day, the father took his son to cut down a big tree in the forest. The father cut the tree and he told his son to use his shoulder to bear the tree trunk. The son did as his father told him. The heavy tree trunk on his shoulder would kill him. So Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai cried out for his father’s help. His father did not help him but went home quickly. God Indra pitied Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai and came down from heaven to help him. Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai could carry home the tree trunk on his shoulders. When he arrived home, he asked his father where to put down the log. The father told his son to put it down in the wharf. The son did so. That log blocked the waterway of cargo junk. Merchants could not pass that place with their junk. So they announced that they would give all cloths and clothes in their junk to anyone who could move the tree trunk away. Thao Chet Huat Chet Hai could do it. He was rewarded by those merchants. He took home all those things. The family became rich. He lived happily with his family as before.
