One day a small boy came to her place who was actually a fraud. he said “I will look after your goats and in return please give me a set of clothes to wear” to the old woman. So the old woman brought a set of new clothes and gave it to him thinking he would look after her goats. The old woman took the boy with her and went to look after the goats. when they reached somewhere far he said “I will come back bringing the goats together" and he left with a billy goat.

Lok Bdr Mangar the boy kept on moving with the goats and reached in a place where snow had already fallen and many herds-men were gathered. All the herds men were wearing thick clothes to protect themselves from the cold but on the other hand the boy had nothing. The goats remained moving their mouth and the boy kept on saying to the goats “eat the coldness my goats” the herds men were taken aback and said “we are wearing many layers of clothes and yet we are cold. these goats consumes all the coldness and the boy is never cold. we must keep the goats and exchange it with the cows.” so the next morning the herds men told him to take their ox in exchange with his goats. the boy did not agree at first but later the herds-men said “take my cows too.
