Once upon a time, the land was taken by demons. One day, a farmer went to the forest to plant radishes. He was hoeing the ground when a demon ran over and shouted:

– Man, who let you in my forest?… Do you want to die?

The farmer calmly said:

  • God, don't eat me. Devil let me sow. When the tree grows, I only take the root, and the top beg to the devil.

Seeing that he had nothing to do but eat, the demon was content, and said:

"That's fine, but you have to keep your promise." If that's not true, don't try to enter this forest again.

The radish is large, the farmer unloads the tuber, leaving the top for the devil. The devil eats bitterly, so angry that he can't do anything to people.

The farmer and the demon

The next season, the farmer went back to the forest to continue planting. Seeing that, the devil asked for a share. The farmer asked:

  • Will the devil take the root or the top?

Annoyed that the last time was not eaten, this time the devil demanded to take the root. When the rice is ripe, the farmer takes the burden back, leaving the root for the devil.

The stubble was inedible, the devil was angry, foaming at the mouth, demanding the next season to eat both the top and the root. The devil thought: "Whatever you give to the grower, the harvest this time will be mine." But not succumbing to the devil, the farmer brought corn to sow. Because of the effort to take care of the corn, the corn is very big. Each plant has two or three corns. When the season comes, people carry the burden, hurriedly break the corn, carry it home, leaving both the top and the root of the corn for the devil.

Looking at the dried corn stalks, unable to eat, the devil had to run to the forest to do nothing.
