The story tells in the Buddha’s time, there was a poor man living in Kosamphi earing his life by selling grass and wood for making fire. One day he saw a millionaire who was building a Sala (a hut) and a well for the public near a road for passengers. He asked the millionaire and when he understood the meaning later he proposed the millionaire for selling his son to him. He got 500 Kahapana (old money in India) and spent a half of the money for building a sala and a well. He organized a celebration ceremony for the sala and offered it to the Buddha and the Sangha. When he died, he happened in Tavatimsa Heaven.
