The Story of Old Dschang, the Gardener - Part Five

 

When Sir We’s son came back to his village, he found that Wang had disappeared.

A few years later, Sir We’s son was walking across a meadow, he saw the plaw-boy who had taken him to Old Dschang’s house.

The plow boy was thrilled to see Sir We’s son. “My mistress wanted me to give this to you.”

The plow boy removed ten ounces of gold gave it to Sir We’s son.

“Where is Old Dschang?” Sir We’s son asked eagerly.

The plow boy smiled. “As of now, Old Dschang and Wang are drinking tea in the inn."

Sir We’s son eagerly followed the plow-boy to see his brother-in-law again.

However, when Sir We’s son reached the inn, the entire place was empty.

Sir We’s son turned and he was surprised to find that the plow-boy who had brought him there was also missing.

Since that time no one had heard of Old Dschang.
