Bald Boy and the Magic Seal
One day, Bald Boy was walking back from the marketplace after selling his crops to the
people of the neighbouring village. He had made three gold coins that day and was very
pleased with himself because now his mother would be able to buy food and clothing to last
through the long winter.

Suddenly Bald Boy came across a group of men who were teasing a cat with a long stick.
The cat looked very scared and was unable to escape. Bald Boy walked up to the men and
said in a kindly voice: ‘Please stop teasing that poor cat. If you stop, I will give you a gold
coin.’
