At night, the merchant was awakened by a big noise. The kettle became a strange creature again and was running about in his room exhibition Hong Kong. But early next morning found the kettle still quietly lying in the corner. One of his neighbors, after hearing what he had seen in the night, advised him to travel in the country to display it.







Now the kettle could be asked to change and perform by the merchant. The performances drew big audiences, and the merchant earned a lot of money. But he was an honest man. Though he was rich now, he thought that he owed some of his wealth to the man from whom he had bought the kettle.







One morning, he put a hundred gold pieces into the kettle and, hanging it on his arm DR REBORN, he returned to the old man who had sold it to him. The old man thanked the merchant，saying that few people would have been so honest.







The kettle brought them both luck. Everything went well with them till they died.







Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a lion and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too young to know the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their friendship was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains,  of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit, one who lives far away from other people.







For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly argument. The tiger said, "Everyone knows the cold comes when the moon wanes from full to new!" The lion said DR REBORN, "Where did you hear such nonsense） ? Everyone knows the cold comes when the moon waxes from new to full!"
