Once upon a time, there was a mischievous shepherd boy named Hari, who lived in a small village surrounded by green hills. One day, while driving his bullock cart down a dusty road, he noticed three well-dressed, funny-looking men walking along the path. They wore tall hats, glittering shoes, and had more jewelry than a royal king.

The first man, who wore a velvet cape and twirled a cane, asked, "Excuse me, young lad, do you know the way to the grand city?"

Hari squinted at him and shrugged. "Of course, I do! But... do you mind sharing your lunch? You look like you can afford a good meal!"

The second man, with a giant monocle over one eye, said, "My dear boy, we are not interested in food! We are rich men, you see. But we might be interested in... a ride!"

Hari grinned and patted his bullock. "Hop in, then. The cart is as fast as a racing horse. But don't blame me if it gets a little... bumpy."

The third man, wearing a bright yellow bowtie, jumped into the cart, knocking over his friends like a set of bowling pins. "Bumpy? That's perfect! A thrill ride for the rich!"

As they all squeezed into the cart, the bullock, who wasn't used to such extravagant passengers, started trotting along lazily. Hari decided to have some fun. He cracked the whip over the bullock's head and yelled, "Run, Bullock, run!"

The bullock, startled, took off at full speed, causing the three rich men to clutch onto their hats and wigs. One man's monocle fell off and rolled into a puddle. The other's glittering shoes flew off into the bushes. The third man's bowtie flew into the air and got stuck on the bullock's tail!

As the cart bumped and bounced down the road, Hari couldn't help but laugh. "You rich folks sure know how to make things interesting!"

The men were flailing in every direction, trying to hold onto their dignity - except it was hard to look dignified when their hats were flying off and their jewelry was falling into the dirt.

"Stop! Stop! We can't take it anymore!" shouted the man with the cane, but Hari just gave the bullock another tap, sending them into a wild spin. "No stopping until you give me some of that fancy food you promised!"

Finally, the bullock slowed down, and the three rich men tumbled out of the cart, looking like they had been through a battle. Their clothes were covered in mud, and their once-glittering jewelry was now hopelessly lost.

Hari leaned over with a smirk. "Well, that was fun! Maybe next time, you'll bring your own cart and ride it like a pro."

The rich men, now humbled and a little embarrassed, could only laugh along with the shepherd boy. "You know, young lad," said the monocle man, "perhaps we should pay you for this ride?"

Hari scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I'd say a chicken or two would be a fair price. You can keep your fancy jewelry."

And so, the rich men, a little less rich but a lot more humble, handed over a chicken or two. They never forgot the shepherd boy's wild ride, and from that day on, whenever they walked through the village, they made sure to keep their hats - and their shoes - on tightly.
