Description:Translation (Htoi Awng) Once upon a time, there was a lazy couple in a village. When the other people went to their farms to do work properly, the couple didn't work hard. When the other burnt the plants from the farm to help the new rice plants growing well, the couple burnt the plants which were not even dried yet. They just threw the seeds wherever they wanted and didn't grow the rice plants properly. They didn't want to pluck the grass and clean the bushes too. The wife was lazier than the husband. She covered the rice plants with a big basket because she didn't want the weeds to grow. She didn't pluck any grass and just went back home. Then, there were lots of grass growing in the middle of rice plants. There weren't many rice plants left. When it was time to harvest, the other people harvested lots of rice grains. Then, the couple thought to harvest theirs too. The husband told his wife, "You go and harvest the rice grains which we have planted. I will go catch some fish." And he went fishing. His wife went to their farm to harvest rice grains too. When she arrived there, she felt so bored and lazy. The rice plants were growing here and there. There grew only a few. And they were eaten by some birds. So, they were just like an old broom. Then, she didn't want to harvest them. She said to herself, "Just let it be even if I can't harvest those rice plants. My husband went fishing. Then, I'll just eat the fish." And she went back home with an empty basket. On the other hand, the husband went somewhere far to catch some fish. When he tried to catch fish, he didn't want to stop the water flowing from the dam. He was just lazy. He said, "Let it be although I couldn't catch any fish! I will just eat the rice that my wife has harvested." Then, he threw his bucket and went back home. Both of them got home without knowing about what happened to them. They told about each's story what had happened. The wife didn't harvest any rice plants, and the husband didn't catch any fish. So, they didn't have anything to eat. They drank only water and slept. They closed the door and just slept. They waited for the others to come and call them to eat the rice. "We will go and eat the rice when the others call us," they thought. May be, they put some mattocks on the bar above the door. Seem like, a mouse ran on those mattocks and appeared the noise. They both heard the sound. Since they were so hungry, they were arguing. The husband said, "I'll open the door first! When some people call us to eat the rice, I'll go!" Then, his wife said, "No! I will go!" When they two were trying to open the door, the sickles and the mattocks fell on them. They hit the wife's head. Then, she said, "You dare to hit me!" She beat her husband then. Her husband said, "No, it's not me!" And he beat her back because she beat him. They two ended up fighting without getting any food to eat. This is the end of the story about the lazy couple.
