The Pedanda and the Bull that could fly\nby Tibah,\n(Written on the back, in Balinese, but in Latin letters, in an unknown hand)\nBegawan Soewemitra owned an excellent bull, it could fly and it could speak. The story is that the King was hunting, and he met the Pedanda. The Pedanda told the Bull to be host to the King, and the Bull was able to offer dinner to the King. After he ate, the King said to the Pedanda: Yes, honorable Pedanda, I beg your pardon for my too greedy heart, but if you would be only willing to give me your Bull to care for. Of course, said the Pedanda, this is your house. The Pedanda (kaselek?) could not do otherwise, for a Pedanda may not be stingy, and he gave him the Bull. He took the Bull, and then the Bull was angry and chased him, and also sent out fire. This is why there is the moral teaching that before a person is a priest he may not own a Bull.\nTjeritera Adi Parwa\nBegawan Soewemitra madoewe lemboe oetama asing keboer njidijang Lemboe ngatoeran.
