said Suan to Barbekin when they had gone some distance from the palace.
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| “Give me the carabao now,†| |
 | |  |
|
 |
|
|
|
The carabao was young and strong, and Barbekin hated to give it up. So he said,
|
|
|
|
 | |  |
| “No; the decision of the king must be fulfilled,†| |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Don’t take the carabao, and I will give you fifty pesos.†| |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
Barbekin then raised the sun to ninety pesos, and Suan consented to accept the offer. Thus Suan was rewarded for his work in helping Barbekin.
