| The Four-footed Doctor Part one |
Once upon a time, there was a family of a millionaire with five children who were all sons and the fifth of whom was born crippled. He had only arms and torso, but no legs.
The parents felt very embarrassed at having such a crippled son who they thought did not suit their honor and ordered a maid to put the baby boy in a cooking pot and floated it in the river.
The pot containing the poor baby boy floated quickly down the stream the whole night and finally arrived at a border village in which there was a Brahman with medical knowledge.
To his great pleasure, the Brahman found the pot with the legless baby boy still alive. He brought the boy up as his own and named his "Komphak Komar".
As for the maid who floated the boy away, when coming back home she felt pity for the infant boy so much that she could not sleep. At the mid-night, she decided to run away from her boss in order to search for the baby at the Brahman's house on that night, but she did not say anything except that she offered to serve the Brahman free of charge.
The Brahman was very surprised and thought: "This baby really brings me goog luck because I have a maid once I have brought him home".
