Description: Translation (by Seng Pan) I am going to tell about how opium emerged. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl in a country. She was the most gorgeous and attractive one in the country. Everyone who met adored her so much. Even the men from nine countries came a long way to see the girl. The next day, they proposed to her. She thought everyone was qualified and acceptable. Since all of them were perfect, she was depressed and couldn't find excuses to deny their proposals. So, she said, "I can't say no to you. And I don't know which one to choose because each of you is skillful and spotless. But I have something to tell you. I won't marry anyone. However, you all will be in my heart forever. And I am going to die soon. If one day you come back here again one day, please come to my grave when you couldn't find me. There you will see a flower growing on my grave and kiss that flower to comfort yourself." Hence, the nine men went back to their countries. After years, they came to the girl's country again. Certainly, they couldn't find the girl. Then her family told them that she passed away. And they took them to her grave. When they arrived at her grave, the nine men cried their hearts out. One day, as the girl told them, a very beautiful flower grew on the girl's grave. Every year, those nine men came and kissed it. That flower had a very attractive smell. So not only those nine men but also other people also came and smelled it. Each day the number of people who came and smelled the flower increased. As days passed by, the flower became mature and produced gum. Therefore, people scraped its gum and sniffed. Later on, they sold the gum since it had unique smell and the people couldn't substitute anything with it. Soon, it spread to all places. Our ancestors told us the gum from the flower which grew on the girl's grave was the beginning of opium. And it always causes troubles for people. There was no one whose life was not ruined by opium if they tried it. Moreover, those who tested opium was damaged not only physically but also financially. The reason for all those problems was begun from the flower which grew on the girl's grief. It is very beautiful, attractive and tasty but it can destroy our life badly. Therefore, our elders have always strictly warned us to avoid it. Transcription (by Lu Awng) Ya ngai tsun na maumwi gaw kanni byin pru wa ai maumwi hpe tsun dan na re.
