wild boar in that pit. In search of the boar, they further deepened the pit. But they found none and so
they left. Later it rained and pit was filled with water.
The buffaloes often visited the hole and they wallowed in the pit and made it become a little
pond. When the poor farmer tilled his land, he watched the pond. He became happy. He summoned the
village priest to praise for his luck to got a wonderful lovely pond. Everyone in the village knew this.
A rich farmer in the village came there and claimed that he was the owner of the pond since he was the
land owner. Every one stared at each other. Now the question is Who owns the water? The bird, the
