The younger son heard the demon’s laughter(笑声). He looked up and saw inside the demon’s huge, open mouth, it was full of gold and silver. Quickly, he ran up the mountain and hurried inside the demon’s mouth. There, he collected a little of the gold and silver and then hurried out again. Now he could buy himself a house, a larger piece of land and an ox to pull his plough.

　　His brother soon found out what had happened. He immediately got the cat and the dog and used them to pull his plough near Stone Mountain. Once again, the demon opened his mouth to laugh at the sight of a cat and a dog pulling a plough. Quickly, the elder brother ran into the demon’s mouth and began filling his bags with gold and silver.
