The golden horns.  Once upon a time there were two brothers who decided to go hunting.  Bearing their weapons, they went off into the jungle.  In these forests stood the remains of a village that had been deserted for many years.  It was now entirely overgrown.

As the brothers walked past the ruins, they heard a cow lowing.  They thought this very strange, for if there were cattle there must also be people. Overcome by curiosity, they looked between the ruined houses but saw neither cattle nor people.  They gave up the search and decided to pursue their hunt.  But just as they were leaving, they heard the cow lowing again

Surprised by the sound, they searched the village again, breaking their way through the undergrowth.  Finally, they found a cow skeleton lying on top of a mound.  They could see by its bleached bones that it had been dead for a long time.  The only thing left of value were its enormous horns, which the hunters decided to take home.  They carried one horn each but struggled to do so, for the horns were unusually heavy.  As a result, they called off their hunt and resolved to go straight home. 

On their way the brothers came upon a river.  It looked so cool and welcoming that they decided to bathe, because carrying the heavy horns had made them hot and sweaty.  They put the horns on the riverbank and entered the refreshing waters.  Then, the river lapped against the horns, and where it washed them they began to shine.  When the brothers saw this, they wiped the horns clean.  To their amazement, they found that the horns were made of solid gold.

As soon as they came home, they placed the horns on the altar in the family shrine.  Ever since, the brothers have had an unusual amount of success in their business.  Day after day their enterprises yielded unexpected profits.  They later built a temple for the cow goddess, which still stands near the town of Suphanburi.

The thrifty woman.  There was once a young woman who lived with her old mother in a cabin in the countryside.  She had learned to save every penny she earned, to pay her debts scrupulously, and to talk no more than was necessary.
