In a village, there was a bachelor in his thirties who had not married his wife. He is diligent and capable, working hard in the fields every day.

One day, when he went to work in the field, he accidentally picked up a big snail. He happily took it home and raised it in his own water tank. How time flies! Three years have passed in an instant. One day, the bachelor came home from work in the field and found the table full of steaming food. The bachelor looked around, but no one was there. He was so hungry that he went to the table and ate. He thought as he ate, who cooked such a delicious table for him? He came back from work for several days in a row, and all the same good dishes were on the table. So, he thinks it must be the help of his neighbor, Mrs. Li. Today, I want to thank others. So he asked his neighbor Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li said, "No? I hear your kitchen cooking. I thought you went home early to cook? " The bachelor wants to know, who would do that? He is sure to find out.

One day, as usual, he went out to work with tools on his shoulders. After a while, he sneaked home and hid outside to peek. Towards noon, the lid of the water tank was slowly lifted, and a fairy-like girl came out of the water tank, and then cooked and cooked skillfully. Soon a table was filled with food. When the meal is ready, it hides in the water tank again. The bachelor thought, should I ignore it today? So, he secretly hid outside the house for several days, and the result was absolutely true. It is a beautiful girl who helps him cook and stir-fry every day.

The bachelor thought, why does such a beautiful and virtuous girl come to help him cook every day? I must ask, another day at noon, when the girl was concentrating on cooking, the bachelor suddenly pushed the door and rushed in, grabbed the girl and locked it in the room. He quickly opened the lid of the water tank, and when he saw it, he was blindsided. Why is that snail just wandering in the water with an empty shell? Is this daffodil-like girl made of this snail? The bachelor came up with a clever idea. He hid the empty snail shell in the back garden. Then I went to the room and asked the girl to come out, but the girl came out of the room and ran directly into the water tank. When she saw that the snail shell was gone, she cried sadly. She cried and told the bachelor the truth about herself. She said she was a snail. Because the bachelor saved her life in his last life, he raised her for another three years in this life. She is committed to returning her kindness. The bachelor was very moved after hearing this.

So he married this girl, and they had a pair of children after marriage. It is said that their husband and wife have always been very loving and their days are getting better and better.
