Description of manuscript content:
Prince Pachitta and his wife, Ora Phimpha arrived at a river. While they were looking for a boat for crossing the river, a novice appeared there with a small boat. When the novice saw Ora Phimpha, he fell in love with her. Then he said, this boat can load only two people per time. So, Prince Pachitta let Ora Phimpha go first. The roguish novice took Ora Phimpha floating on the river without destination. Ora Phimpha realized what happened. When she saw an opera tree with a lot of fruits, she asked the novice to climb up for picking up the fruit for her. While the novice was on the tree, she quickly got into the boat and took out to her husband.
