He used to eat fruits from the trees in the forest.
One day while he was wandering about,
he came to a stream.
the stream said to him.
"Why don't you start farming?"
Old man Soma cleared some trees on both sides of the stream.
He tilled the land and sowed some oats.
When the oats were ripe,
a squirrel came along to eat them.
"Why are you eating my oats?"
Soma asked the squirrel.
"If you'd grown horse-gram,
I wouldn't have eaten them,"
said the squirrel.
Old man Soma
sowed some horse-gram in his field.
When the horse-gram was ripe,
a deer came along to eat it.
