The story tells once upon a time, there were three sisters who were orphan and poor. They lived in Pharanasi city. When they all were grown up, the oldest sister talked to her sisters that we are poor in this life because we did not make merit in the previous lives. Therefore, we have to make much merit for our next lives. They agreed with her idea. One day, they prepared yellow robes, food and flowers. They went separately to find the flowers. The oldest sister found five lotuses. The second sister found two frangipanis, and the last sister found three mali (jasmine). Then they brought the things to the monastery and offered the robes, food and flowers to the Buddha and monks. They pray for their wishes may become true.
