They shared their parental property and the elder brother inherited the House while the boy got only an old ox in the property.He was works on the fields every day with that old ox. While on the other hand the mighty emperor's daughter was so good at weaving clothes that she was called with the name of 'Weaving maid'. actually the Ox was an immortal from the heaven who was sent on earth because of the mistakes he had done in the heaven.On a day the Ox said to that innocent boy that if he wanted to get married then he have to go to the brook. The boy went to the brook and saw all the 7 daughters of the heavenly emperor, taking a bath in the brook. Suddenly the cowherd boy fell in love with 7th fairy (emperor's daughters)and hid her clothes secretly. After bathing When the 7th fairy asked him for her clothes, The boy told her that if she wants the cloths back then she have to marry him. The fairy agreed and both of them got married and had two children.The Old ox died and told that cowherd boy to keep his hide for emergency purposes.
