The story revolves around a king with seven sons who set off to find jobs. The youngest son, who is blind in one eye, ends up being the sole survivor after a series of tragic incidents befall his brothers. As they explore, they are lured by a palace and fall into a pit, drown while attempting to reach a girl bathing in a river, and are ultimately killed by fighting bulls. Upon returning home, the blind son recounts the events, revealing the deaths of his brothers one by one. His father is saddened but also incredulous, leading to a moment of reflection on the son's perceived foolishness due to his blindness. The moral implies that those who are physically impaired might be misunderstood or underestimated.

एगो राजा के सात गो बेटा हलन । जब ओहनी पढ़-लिख के तइयार होलन, तऽ नोकरी के खोज में निकललन। सबसे छोटा बेटा काना हल। ऊ असानी से कोई के फेरा में न पड़ हल। जाइते-जाइते ओहनी एगो सुन्नर महल देखलन। भइवन के लालच समा गेल कि ई बाहर से तो एतना चमकइत हे, भीतरे एकरा में का नऽ का भरल होयत! से ओहनी ओकरा में सेन्ह मारे लगलन, तो भीती गिर गेल आउ ओकरा तर दूगो जता के मर गेलन। फिनो आगे बढ़लन, तो ओहनी एगो नदी देखलन। ओकरा में एगो बड़ी सुन्नर लड़की दहल-चलल आवइत हल। ओकरा देख के दू भाई तो छाने ला चभाक-भाक नदी में कूद गेलन, बाकि पैरे नऽ आवऽ हल, से ओकरे में डूब के मर गेलन। तीन भाई आगे बढ़लन तो दूगो भैंसा लड़इत हल। भैंसवा अइसन खदेरलक, कि दू भाई तो ओकर चपेट में आ गेलन, आउ ओहिजे मर गेलन। एगो काना बेटा बचल आउ लौट के घरे आ गेल।

काना बेटा के घरे अयला पर राजा पूछलन -' 'कहऽ बेटा, दुनियाँ के रीती'', तो बेटा कहलक कि ''दूगो मर गेलथुन चपा के भीती।'' बाप अफसोस में हो गेल, आउ बोलल कि ''आहा!'' काना बेटवा जबाब देलक कि ''दूगो नदी में गेलन दहा।'' राजा सोचलक कि मजाक करइत हे, से ओहू कहलक कि ''ऐसा?'’ तऽ काना फिनो कहलक कि ''दू गो के मारलक भैंसा।'’ ई पर राजा बोललन कि ''सच्चे!'' तो काना बेटवा झट से जबाब देलक कि ''हमहीं तो एगो काना बच्चे!'' राजा काना के जबाब सुन के चुप हो गेलन, आउ दंग रह गेलन कि कइसन ई नालायक बेटा जनम लेलक हे? ठीके कहल गेल हे कि ''अन्हरा, लँगड़ा, काना, विरले भलमानुस जाना!'’

Once upon a time, there was a king with seven sons. When they grew up and were ready, they set out in search of jobs. The youngest son was blind in one eye and was not easily swayed by anyone. As they traveled, they came across a beautiful palace. The brothers were tempted, thinking that it must be filled with treasures since it looked so dazzling from the outside! So, they attempted to sneak in, but fell into a pit and two of them died there.

Then, they continued on and found a river. A beautiful girl was bathing in it. Seeing her, two of the brothers jumped into the river in a rush, but since they couldn't swim, they drowned. Three brothers moved ahead and encountered two fighting bulls. The bulls charged, and two brothers got caught in their melee and died right there. Only the blind son survived and returned home.

Upon his return, the king asked, "Tell me, son, what happened in the world?" The blind son replied, "Two died due to the pit." The father was saddened and exclaimed, "Oh!" The son continued, "Two drowned in the river." The king thought he was joking and said, "Is that so?" The blind son replied again, "Two were killed by the bulls." To this, the king said, "Really!" The blind son quickly responded, "I am just a blind child!" The king fell silent upon hearing this, astonished at how such a foolish son was born to him. It is rightly said, "The blind, the lame, the crooked—rarely do good people come from such!"
