There lived a guy named Budamshu. One day he argued with the priests. One day he stuck a stick into the ground in front of a rich man’s house and sat there.

A rich man came out of the house and asked him:

- What are you doing here?

- My name is Feed to satiety. A red fox ran into this hole. So I closed it. You are on guard here. “I’ll come to you, drink some water, and let this fox be yours,” Budamshu answers.

The rich man was delighted, coveted the fox and said to the guy:

- Okay, I'll stay.

Budamshu went into the rich man's house and talked for a long time with his wife. The rich man waited and waited for him and began to call:

- Feed yourself to the fullest, come here!

His wife heard her husband’s voice and was very surprised:

-What is he shouting about? Feed to the full... Why does he order this poor man to be fed?

Again the rich man shouts:

- Feed to the full!

The rich man's wife is very surprised and places a lot of food in front of Budamshu.

So the savvy Budamshu ate his fill.
