Monishankar- My name is Monishankar Barman and my male clan name is Langthasa and I am from Khaspur vilage. I am going to tell the story of the pig and dog, A long time ago, the pig and the dog went with the village people while farming. Sometimes the owner also leave them there and returns home “I am in a bit of a hurry so I am going home but you guys do all this work.” After that, the dog used to sleep the whole day and the pig used to plowed the entire paddy field and when the owner returns, the dog says to him “the pig has done no work, I have done everything, If you don’t believe then look here, all this is my footprint.” As the dog digs the entire ground with its paws, that is why the dog’s paw marks were everywhere and when their owner comes and check it then the dog’s paw marks were everywhere in real and there was no sign of Pig’s footprint. Similarly, everyday the dog used to tell its master that “the pig didn’t do anything, I did it all.” And the owner also comes and see that there is no trace of the pig’s foot, only dog’s footprint is everywhere. Therefore, one day the owner sent the pig and the dog into the field and started secretly observing who was doing the work in actual and who was telling the truth, so the owner hid in a corner and started watching them. Later, he saw that it was actually a dog who was sleeping under a tree and pig was working all day. When the pig left the field, the dog scratched the ground with its paws everywhere and got returned to their home the dog tells to its owner “even today the pig has not done anything, I have done everything but look, the pig is ahead to eat food”  After saying this the dog was caught lying in the front of his owner.
