Hungry Mazdak

Hungry Mazdak

Mazdak is voracious and is never full. He eats from morning until evening. His father takes him to the doctor but the doctor cannot help him. He eats the neighbour's breads and hurts everybody. One day he walks to the neighbouring walnut orchard. The owner asks him to count the walnuts and throw them into a bag. He promises to give him a magic nut if he doesn't eat. Mazdak practices restraint and is cured of his big appetite.
