This folktale describes how harming others is akin to harming onesself through the story of a prince and his step-mother. Following the death of the prince's mother, the king takes another wife and has a second son. Not only does the prince's step-mother not take care of him, but she frequently harms him. One day, the older prince is sent with his step-mother's son, the younger prince, to trade. As they are returning, the younger prince steals all of the older prince's posessions and arrives at the palace calling them his own. The older prince continues to trade and eventually returns richer than the first time, causing his step-mother to send the younger prince out again. In the end, however, the younger prince does not return.
