Without a word the Strong man wait and picked the sabai out of the water and began to twist it, but he could tell at once by the feel that the sabai had only just been placed in the water and he charged the farmer with playing a trick on him. The farmer swore that there was no trick and, rather than quarrel, the Strong man went on with the work.
While he was so engaged the farmer offered him some tobacco, and the Strong man took it without washing and wiping his hands. Now no one should prepare or chew tobacco while twisting sabai; if one does not first wash and dry one's hands one's strength will go. The Strong man knew this, but he was so angry at being called back on false pretences that he forgot all about it.
And the oilman took the five hundred rupees and they all went home. From that day the oilman no longer put the bullock to work the oil mill but fed it well and left it free to go where it liked.

The Faithless Sister. Once upon a time there was a man who had a son and daughter: he used to cultivate his land and his son and daughter used to take his dinner to him.
If the past, having founded the present, ceased to matter so would the present to the future which would mean that all would be immaterial. "Remember me? Sabai dee mai?" said the woman to both men. "Khrap. Sabai dee" Nawin said. "This is Nawin Biadklang, a nice enough Thai, I suppose," said the Laotian to his sister.
The sister tried to catch the youngest brother by the hair and pull him out, calling "Come back, brother, come back brother, you shall carry my baby about for me!" but his hair came off in her hand and the earth swallowed them all up. Their sister planted the hair in a corner of the garden and it is said that from that human hair, sabai grass originated.
