He proposed to play off the last cow - whoever finished a cup of rice faster would take the cow for himself. The elder began to eat straight from the cup, and the younger ate with chopsticks and lost. Now he had nothing to plow the land with, but a large spotted dog came running and he began to harness it. A county official was riding past his field in a sedan chair and saw him plowing with the dog. Deciding to test him, he said: "If you plow 3 rows with the dog, I will give you 500 liang of silver." The dog plowed 3 rows and the younger brother took the money. Having learned where the money came from, the elder brother asked to lend him the dog, the younger agreed if the elder would give him the cow. He gave it to him, took the dog and began to wait for the official in the field. The official offered him to plow 3 rows with the dog, but it bit him. The official decided that he was going to deceive him and ordered to give the older brother 50 blows with sticks. He beat the dog to death. The younger brother buried the dog, and a tree grew on the grave. One day he shook it, and money rained down. The higher the tree grew, the more money rained down from it. Having learned what was going on, the older brother secretly shook the tree, but only a few piles of shit fell on it. He cut down the tree. The younger brother used the wood to build a chicken coop. The chickens in it began to lay eggs constantly, and the younger brother received good money for them. The older brother locked his chickens in the chicken coop, but they only shit, and he burned the chicken coop down. The younger brother planted soybeans on the burnt-out site. When he collected the beans and began to eat them, he released fragrant winds, which he sold as perfume. The elder repeated everything, but only shit on the clothes that were brought to him for aromatization. He was offered to lick his shit, he refused and was beaten to death]: Bai Gengsheng 2007e: 219-220.
