The king of cattle is stupid. The emperor of heaven ordered him to withdraw a handful of grass in three steps. He mistakenly recorded it as withdrawing three bundles of grass in one step. As a result, weeds spread all over the earth. Later, the emperor of heaven punished him for making up for his mistakes and forbidding him to go to heaven and eat grass forever.
