This story is included of the ancient literally fiction, that is a tale. This story is based on the Eastern European culture ‘Lying for a wager’, in Burma exactly. In Indonesia there is no a wager by lying, but something like cock fight or guessing the winner of match so the winner of that wager can have anything what they want or something that has decided to be a gift for the wager’s winner.
