Description: English translation (by Maran Seng Pan) A long time ago, an orphan boy and his grandmother lived together. The orphan boy was indolent. He just depended all on his grandma. Even though he wanted to eat a banana, he let his grandmother peel for him. He also did not eat by himself he made his granny feed him. Grandma had to go to work during the day time and when the time she arrived back home, she had to cook dinner for him and fed him. One day, the lazy grandson heard that villagers were fishing and caught a lot of fish. So, he also hung fishing nets on a tree. The next morning, when he went and checked, he saw a female ghost was trapped there. She was crying loudly, "Please, help me! Set me free! If you set me free, I will give a precious gift." Then the lazy orphan asked her, "What are you going to give me? I am the one who made this trap." "I will give you a small pot-drum ( a single-headed drum on a long hollow stalk which is flared at the bottom)." The orphan complained to her, “What should I do with it? I do not know how to use it." The female ghost explained him, "If you play this small pot-drum, you will get anything you whisper. It will give you everything. And it is also my precious charm. This is a very useful charm. I hate to give it to others but today you saved my life thus I give it to you." The orphan responded, “OK! If it does not work, I will make the trap in another place and I will catch you again.” “All right, do it as you like! Giving you this small pot-drum is the same as giving my whole life to you,” the poor female ghost replied to him and gave her lucky charm. Her charm was like a small drum. Shortly afterwards, he let her free. And he took the drum back home. He felt hungry when he reached home. Therefore, he decided to try the female ghost's charm whether it worked or not. He whispered, "I want rice and four different kinds of curry now.” And he played the small pot-drum. Surprisingly, all food which he whispered emerged just in front of him. He had them all and remember there was nothing left for Granny. So, he whispered the food for granny and it also emerged immediately. In the evening, when his grandmother arrived back home, he served the food to her. His granny questioned him, "Where did you get these?" "Granny, don’t ask me where I got these! Please enjoy it,” he responded. Granny stopped questioning and enjoyed the meal. After his grandmother finished the food, he requested, "Grandma, tomorrow, can you go and request the King and Queen to give the princess to me?" Grandmother was shocked and said, "Dear, I am not brave enough for it. You and I will be killed." "No! No, Granny! It will not be like that. Just go and ask for it!" he said with confidence. But his grandmother was still afraid. As her grandson said, she decided to go to the palace the next morning. When she arrived at the gate, the gatekeepers examined her why she wanted to get into the palace. She answered, "I want to meet the King and Queen." Then, the gatekeeper went inside and asked for permission. The King let her go inside. When she got inside, the King questioned her, "What brings you here, Granny?" "My grandson wants your daughter. I am here to request you to give princess, your majesty,'' grandmother answered with fear. "All right, I will bring my daughter to you tomorrow. Now you can go back,” the King commanded. After the grandmother went back, the King ordered his counsellors to go and kill the grandmother and her lazy grandson. When grandmother heard King's counsellors and regiment were on the way and coming to kill them, she was frightened and woke her grandson up. Since the whole King's regiment was coming, the poor grandma's small hovel was even shaken. Granny nervously said to her grandson that she was so afraid the King's counsellors and regiment were arriving in front of their small hovel. But the lazy grandson comforted her not to worry. When they arrived, he played the small pot-drum by whispering that he wanted all of them to dance until he said to stop. All counsellors and regiment started dancing. They kept dancing till their hats and weapons were fallen down. The sun was slowly going down and it's getting dark. King's counsellors and regiment were exhausted and starving. Finally, they all were not capable of it and the counsellors clamored for letting them stop dancing. They also promised to the grandson that they were going to bring the princess to him the next day. When the lazy grandson heard that, he asked them back, "Are you sure that you are going to bring her here tomorrow?" "We swear,” the counsellors replied. Then he played the drum-pot and made them stop dancing. After that, they all went back. When they got back to the palace, they presented to the King and Queen about all the things which happened to them. The King was angry and shouted to them ,"You just need to flick them with a finger. I let you kill them. And you spent the whole day dancing there and came back to the palace. What does it mean?" Then the Queen said she would go to them the following day and she ordered the counsellors to prepare for it and to get ready her carriage. The next morning, the King, Queen, counsellors, and regiment departed to the grandma and the lazy grandson. As soon as the granny heard about it, she told her grandson that this time not only King's counsellors and regiment, but also King and Queen themselves were coming to them. As the grandson saw his granny was so worried, he let her calm down. When King and his people arrived, he whispered the same as he said the day before and played the pot-drum. Once he played it, everyone started dancing. It was just afternoon when they all were exhausted. So, the Queen herself requested the lazy grandson and grandma to let them stop dancing. She said, "I swear I will bring my daughter to you. We are exhausted and cannot breathe anymore. Our clothes are also falling down. Please, stop it now! I myself will bring the princess to you tomorrow," and she asked for forgiveness. The lazy grandson complained to them, "Yesterday you promised to bring her to me today. But you broke the promise. Are you sure that you will send her tomorrow?" Then the King replied, " It will not be like today anymore. I will surely bring the princess to you tomorrow." Thereafter, the grandson whispered and played the pot-drum to stop dancing. When they arrived back to the palace, the Queen said to the King ,"Your majesty, I did not expect things would have happened like that. We all were in trouble. I thought I was going to die. That's why let's bring our daughter to them tomorrow." The next day, while the grandson and his grandmother were getting ready to welcome the princess, he whispered and played the pot-drum for a new big building. A beautiful and big building with many rooms turned up just after he played. He whispered again, "This time, I want many servants," and he played it. Soon many servants appeared just in front of him. On the other hand, the King and Queen were coming to them together with the princess. When they arrived at the village, they couldn't find the lazy boy and his grandmother's small hovel. They asked the villagers where their hovel was. They replied that the lazy boy just built a new house and they pointed a new big building. The lazy grandson was also planning that if the King and Queen didn't bring the princess at that time again, he would let them dance like the previous day. But he saw that they brought the princess with them. Therefore, he and his granny welcomed them warmly, served food and drink well. Since then, they lived happily together.
