Once upon a time, there was the king who had a very ugly face. People kept talking that his face was like a dog’s face. However, nobody really used to see his face because they dared not to do so. People were forbidden to look up when they talked to the king. All his subordinates clung firmly to this order because one who broke it would be executed.
There was a man name “Jaojay” who was the trickiest man in the village. When he heard about the king's rumor, he was very eager to find the answer about the king’s face. Jaojay went to the king’s palace but he was arrested by the king’s soldiers. Fortunately, he escaped from the palace. For fear that the soldiers would follow him and take him to the king, he tried to find out the way not to be punished. He told his wife to shave his head but left a knot of hair in the middle. After that he lay on the hammock and told his wife to sing him a lullaby. He told her that….
“When the soldiers come please tell them that I was not at home, and the one they see in the hammock is our baby”
When the soldiers arrived, they asked to see Jaojay. His wife told them as her husband had planned. The soldiers came to the hammock and were very surprised to see a giant baby lying. They said that its father must be a giant and started to be scared. Finally, they decided to go back to the palace without knowing Jaojay’s baby giant trick. Jaojay was freed from punishment because of his cleverness.
