Description:		Translation (Htoi San) Now, I am telling a story about a king who liked to eat meat only. Once upon a time, there was a king. The king was so rich and had a lot of servants. The king had many maids, so they did not stay in the palace. The king lived in the forest outside his court and built many houses nicely. He also created a fence all around the jungle and stayed together with his runners. The king made a wall in the forest, so all the inhabited animals became his dining table. A dining table meant the king ate five kinds of meat daily for his meal. All five types of meat were different. The king chased and caught the animals he wanted to eat with his servants in his compound. He killed and ate one or two types of animals a day. The animals inside his wall knew and saw that the king killed them daily. The animals knew that tomorrow would be their turn to be eaten. All the animals lived freely and ate the grass inside the king's compound. The king did not get over his day without meat in his meal. He ate the animals one by one daily. An elephant was pregnant in his area. The elephant knew that tomorrow would be her turn to be killed. She noticed that she was going to die tomorrow. The king had a slaughterer who had the duty to kill animals. The elephant went to the king's slaughterer and told him. Long ago, animals could communicate with humans with the same language. She went to him and talked to him about this, "I am pregnant with this baby." "Even though I have to die today or tomorrow, please let me deliver my baby tomorrow." "Therefore, please don't kill me yet. You can do me to death after I give birth to my baby." The mother elephant told this to the king's butcher. The slaughterer did not kill that mother elephant the next day, even though she had to die. He finished off the other animals instead and fed the king. The following day, the mother elephant gave birth to her baby calf. After the mother elephant delivered her calf, the next day came. She had already given birth. It was her time to be killed. So she went to the slaughterer's chopping board as she knew it was her time to die. Then she laid down her neck on that giant chopping board with running tears. Beside her, her baby was turning around and sucking her breast for milk. While the baby elephant was sucking milk from its mother, the king saw them. At that moment, the king saw that scene. The mother elephant laid down with her tears and breastfed her baby calf. When the slaughterer saw the baby elephant seriously suck the mother elephant's breast, he did not dare to kill the mother elephant. He realized, "Even the animal keeps its promise and comes back to be killed," "our king wants to eat those kinds of animals." Then he called the king to watch the situation. The king asked, "Why do you want me to see this?" The slaughterer replied. "My king, this female elephant was supposed to be killed yesterday. So she came to see me that she needed to give birth to her baby. Therefore she came back today to finish her off." When the king heard about it, he felt sorrow for them. He felt deeply and made a decision. "Alright. From today onwards, I will not eat meat anymore." "I am going to eat vegetables only." "The animals are so pitiful. We do not create their lives, but they have to die when I tell them so." The king suffered himself as a very incomprehensible person. So he repented himself and determined his mind, "From now on, I won't eat any more meat, and I will only consume vegetables." He also opened up the wall and talked to all the animals from his compound. "All the animals! You can go wherever you like to go. You live your lives out there nicely." After that, he went back to his palace. In the end, the king lived in his palace happily. Transcription (La Ring) Ya tsun na gaw hkaw hkam wa shan hkrai sha ai lam.
