Description of manuscript content:

(Fascicle 3) Having heard the stories from Chaliaochalat, the king really appreciated and praised him much. One day, the king wanted to prove loyalty to his royal officers. He ate a bitter fruit and told the royal officers that the fruit was sweet. He shared the fruit with them and asked them what it tasted. The officers who wanted to please the king replied that the fruit was sweet. Then, Chaliaochalat told other stories to the royal officers: a story of a fisherman who became a city ruler but forgot his promise made with a crow; a story of a tiger who wanted to eat a hermit who mercifully revived him from being killed by a cobra.
