“I am here, Bu. Don’t waste your time to round the area”, he said then jumped into the river. Soldiers threw the iron nets into the river at one and forced the elephants went dơn the river to trampled him. But Bu was great in dived so he dived away.
Another time, Bu had a travel without his fellow. When it was dark he came to an inn to rest. A person knew him and invited him to come his home. He cooked a meal to treat him. But he still didn’t finish the meal, soldiers had rounded the house. That time, the brought a wizard with them. The person led him to a tunnel. He asked the person to give him a bowl of water and a chopstick to do magic. Soldiers searched every where but they couldn’t find him. Therefore, they asked the wizard to help them. the wizard do a magic but he was cheated by Bu’s magic.
“He has escaped on a bridge over a swamp”, said the wizard.
Soldiers believed the wizard and went away. Therefore, Bu escaped.
Other time, he divided rice for people. When he just had finished, soldiers came. Bu was led to hide in a secret place. He asked people to give him a thin blanket then he covered his body and did magic. The wizard, another time, was cheated. He did magic and saw that Bu was hiding in plants near river. Soldiers sprinted to the shore but they could not find him and he escaped.
