In a village, live a breeder's family. They have three daughters. They raise cattle. They have several cows. Every day, the three princesses shepherded the cows in the meadow.
But this time they were unlucky. One cow runs off and disappears somewhere. The three girls then went home to meet her parents. They complained about the missing cow.
"You're looking for that cow to see you," their father cried, angry.
The three breeders' daughters then went to look for the missing cow. They decided to split up to get the cow back faster.
The first child met a grandmother. He did not know that the grandmother was a magician. He also asked the grandmother.
"Did you see a cow walking in this direction?" asked the First Child.
"What's your cow look like?" Granny asked back.
The first child then tells the characteristics of the cow. The cow is actually at the magician's house. The magician had caught him. But the magician was not satisfied. He also wanted to capture the First Son.
"Looks like your cow's running toward my house, better go to my house now," Grandma said.
The First Child went to the grandma's house. However, there he did not find the cow. Grandma instead gives food to the First Child. The First Child was eating with gusto. He did not know that the meat the Grandmother had provided would make a person sleep.
When the First Child fell asleep, the Witch's Grandmother held her in the room. Then the Magical Grandmother came back out of the house. There, he meets the Second Son. The Magic Grandmother did the same thing before. He told the Second Son that his family's cows were at his house. Then the Second Son followed the Magical Grandmother to her home.
Grandmother presents a plate of meat to the second child who was eaten greedily by the child. After the meal, the Second Child was asleep at the house of the Grandmother of Magic. The Witch's Grandmother immediately locked the child.
"I've got two kids to eat," muttered the Magical Grandmother, pleased. Then he went back out to get water in the river. On the way, he meets the Third Son. The third child asked the same questions with his two siblings. The Witch's Grandmother showed her home.
"Looks like your cow walks toward my house, and we'd better get over there," Grandmother said.
The Third Child follows the Witches' Grandmother to the house. Arriving there, he was treated to a plate of meat that looks very Iezat. But the Third Boy did not eat it. The Grandmother then left her at home alone.
When Grandmother of Magic came out of the house, there was a dog who met the third child. The dog told that the two sons of the Third Son had been held captive. Their cows are also in the house of the Witch's Grandmother. Quickly the Third Boy looks for the room where his two siblings are being held. After trying hard, finally the Third Son managed to release his two older siblings. Not only that, he also managed to find his family cow.
Before the Magic Grandmother came home, the three siblings had gone far away from the house. The three brothers did not want to come to the place where the Magical Grandmother lived.
The moral message of the Legend's Short Story: The Lost Cow (Tibet) is to be careful with people you just know.
