Kanni the Unlucky
This story is about Kanni who is very unlucky until he finds his childhood friend who is a king. The king brings him into his home and give him a job. He begins to regard Kanni as family and he trusts him immensely. The kings business partners told the king he should not trust Kanni. The king did not listen to his advisors and continued to trust Kanni. One day the king had to take a trip and he gave Kanni the keys to his house so he could look after it. Kanni overheard some burglars talking about robbing the house and he began to come up with a plan to defend the house. He gave the workers instruments and they were all very loud. The burglars heard this and feared that the king had returned home already so they fled. The next morning the kings advisors found the weapons and footprints of the burglars and were amazed that Kanni could be trusted.
