00:00Farmer Gopi went to his field unhappily that day.
00:08Because even though it was summer, his field was still not yielding any crops.
00:16Oh, my field has not yielded any crops today either.
00:21What am I going to do now?
00:23If I can't deliver crops to the kingdom, I'm going to be in trouble.
00:27One day, just as Gopi was about to give up digging on his barren fields,
00:35his shovel hit a hard object.
00:39Huh? What's that?
00:43As he continued digging, he realized that it was a pot.
00:49What's a pot doing in my field?
00:53And it's empty inside.
00:57Gopi was very unhappy that he had spent so much effort with no reward.
01:03He dropped his hoe in the pot and lay under a tree to rest.
01:14After a while, when he wanted to take his hoe to return home,
01:19he realized that there were one hundred more hoes in the pot.
01:23Gopi emptied the pot full of hoe.
01:34And this time, put his shovel in it.
01:38But what is that?
01:40Another one hundred shovels immediately appeared in the pot.
01:44Gopi was both amazed and thrilled.
01:55He brought the pot straight back to his house.
02:00He excitedly tried a chicken egg in the pot and left it in the pot.
02:05Soon, the pot was overflowing with eggs.
02:09Ha ha ha ha!
02:11I can't believe my eyes!
02:14Then, he put his apple and bread in the pot.
02:19The magic pot gave Gopi hundreds of apples and bread.
02:24Now, I don't have to deal with this barren field.
02:29I can sell these multiplied products in the kingdom market.
02:34Every day, Gopi took the pot's multiplied goods to the kingdom
02:38and tried a new product every day.
02:43One day, clothes.
02:45The next day, vegetables.
02:47And another day, beans.
02:49Whatever he put in the magic pot, it multiplied.
02:55Other sellers were jealous of his success
02:58and complained about Gopi to a soldier of the king.
03:01The next day, the soldiers secretly followed Gopi.
03:06Gopi took the magic pot that morning
03:08and put a chick in the pot to sell at the kingdom market.
03:12A little later, hundreds of chicks came out of the pot.
03:16The soldier couldn't believe his eyes.
03:17With hundreds of chicks running around Gopi's house,
03:22one accidentally fell into the pot,
03:25producing another hundred chicks.
03:28Gopi even had a chick on his head,
03:31under his chair, and in his dinner plate.
03:36The soldier immediately went and told the king what he had seen.
03:39The king ordered that Gopi and his magic pot
03:43be brought to him immediately.
03:44Gopi went before the king,
03:49and the king confiscated the pot from him
03:52for the kingdom's treasure.
03:55Gopi was very upset.
03:58Let me take a closer look at this magic pot
04:01that will enrich my wealth.
04:04Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:05The king approached the magic pot
04:08and bent down into it.
04:10My king, be careful, please.
04:12But just then,
04:15the king slipped.
04:16He could not keep his balance
04:18and fell right into the pot.
04:21No, the king has fallen into the cauldron.
04:25Oh!
04:27In just a few minutes,
04:29one hundred more of the king had formed in the hall.
04:33The soldiers were confused about who to obey.
04:36Kings were fighting each other for the throne,
04:39each claiming to be the real king.
04:41I am the real king.
04:42No, it's me, the real king.
04:45No, I am the real king.
04:46Shut up.
04:47I am the king.
04:49When Gopi realized how dangerous the magic pot could be,
04:53he sneaked out of the palace during the confusion
04:55and took his pot with him.
04:58He went straight to a cliff
04:59and threw the magic pot off the cliff.
05:02The pot disintegrated into pieces and disappeared.
05:07From that day on,
05:09Gopi's field began to grow crops once again.
05:13And Gopi understood
05:14that the land became fertile not by magic,
05:18but by labor.
05:20And he lived in wealth forever.
