Description:		Translation (Htoi San) I am telling a story about two boys who lost their mother, and their father got a new wife. A long time ago, a man married a woman and had two boys. After that, the mother died. Their family had difficulties with the father and two boys. So the father married another wife. The stepmother was so evil, fierce, and she did not like the two boys. She pretended to like the boys in front of the father, but she maltreated them behind their father. She did not feed the two boys well and only rubbed the rice here and there. The children were hungry and cried, "I am hungry. I am starving." When the father came home, he told his wife, "Children's mother, feed the children." The wife responded, "Check your children how much they ate or not. There is rice sticking in their mouths." But the two children kept on saying they were hungry. The stepmother did not like the boys. At last, she ordered her husband, "You bring your children to the forest and abandon them. Suppose you don't do that, I will go home instead." The father was confused that he loved his children; on the other hand, he feared his wife returning to her home. The stepmother told the father to kill the boys. However, the father loved his two boys. So he thought of a way. One day, the father got up early and carried food for lunch. He planned to bring the two children to the forest and leave them there so they would wander and could not come home. In their family, they had a mother dog. The father and two boys went to the forest bringing food and water. The dog was also following them. The bitch went behind them. When they reached a far place, the father said, "You two stay here. I go and get wood to cook curry. You wait here." The dog left together with the two boys. The father lied to them and returned home by himself. The two boys waited a long time for their father, but he did not return to them. So they both cried. The two boys were still young. When they were sure their father would not return, they tried to go back home. The dog led the way home. When the boys reached home, the stepmother did not let them in the house, so they had to stay under it. The stepmother placed them under their house. The dog could know the stepmother did not like the boys. The mother dog took pity on them, so it looked for food in the village and fed the boys. The boys also knew their stepmother did not want them. They met their father under their house and stayed there. One day, the stepmother found out about the boys. When she looked down, she found the boys under the house. She said, "Umm, you lied to me. You said you killed your children, but they are there. You are so bad. I am going home." "My wife, I will make sure this time," the father promised his wife. He promised to make it happen. The father confessed his fault. When their stepmother was not around, their father brought them out again. On that day, they did not bring any food, and the father tied the dog up at home. The father said, "Today, we are going to visit a wonderful place. Just the three of us." Then he led the boys to a deep jungle. When they reached there, the father said, "You two stay here. I go and find the food." But the father did not return to them. There was no dog and no father for the boys to follow. They were afraid when it was getting dark and climbed up the tree and slept there. When they woke up the following day, they came down and walked away hungrily. On the way, they found a fruit tree that looked very delicious, so the elder brother climbed up first and dragged the little brother onto the tree. That tree had many branches. They both climbed up. They ate fruits from that tree. The Pa-lawng spirit rode a big stone and flew fast and soundly, "Wi Wi," then the spirit stopped immediately at the tree root the two brothers were in. The Pa-lawng spirit asked, "Hey there! The two children! Pluck and drop me some fruits." They picked and dropped the fruits, but the spirit was not full. So they dropped the fruits until only one fruit was left. The two brothers had a knife that their father gave them. Their father gave them a very pointed knife. Despite how many fruits they dropped, the Pa-lawng spirit was not enough. The elder brother said, "Hey, gentleman, there is only one left that is sweeter than and more delicious than others before. So close your eyes and open your mouth." Thus, the spirit said, "Alright, fine." The brother asked, "Did you close your eyes?" Then the spirit answered, "Yes, I did." The elder brother poked the knife on the last fruit and threw it into the opening mouth of the spirit directly. The Pa-lawng spirit died there. The two brothers got down from the tree. They climbed and rode on the stone, and when they beat the stick made with silver, the rock flew. They flew and flew, riding on the magic stone. They entered a king's palace in a town. When the giant stone got into the town, it stopped at a public well and blocked it. The two brothers slept at a widow's house who stayed alone. The next day, the people came to fetch water, but they found the giant stone blocked the well. As the villagers could not get the water, they tried to move the stone but could not turn it down. They could not take it down, so this news reached the king. The king heard about the big stone that blocked the well, and it could not fall down even though the whole village tried. The younger brother said, "We can roll it down. We can do it." The elder brother stopped him, "I told you not to tell." But the little brother kept saying, "We can turn it over." Although the big brother stopped his little brother from saying it, the younger one kept saying it repeatedly. Therefore, the widow heard their saying. She told her king, "My lord, from the two guests at my house, the younger one said that he can roll over the stone." The widow told the king about them. The king ordered the window, "Bring him here." The widow asked, "What will you reward him?" The widow said, "What will you give him if he can roll over?" The king said, "I will give him my daughter with many treasures." "Furthermore, I will give my throne to be a king." The king had only one daughter and had no sons. "Alright! Fine." The widow agreed. The two brothers asked the villagers, "Now, everybody go back home. Come back here tomorrow early morning." When no one saw, the brothers sent the giant stone to another place with the silver stick that Pa-lawng spirit held before. When no stone was blocked the next morning, the king did not give his daughter. So the brothers brought back the stone and closed the well with it when there was no one. Although the king promised the second time, he did not give his daughter. The brothers brought the stone back and did not remove it, although the king begged for the third time as the brothers thought the king lied. On the third time, the king announced to the entire village to surely give his daughter. When the brothers got the promise, they removed the stone. This time, the king had to give the princess to the brothers and also his throne to them. Therefore, they were so happy and lived in the palace. After many years, the parents of the two brothers did not die yet. They went to places to find food, and when they heard there were many wealthy people, they decided to go and ask the kings from that country. Then they went there. Their parents did not recognize their sons as they left when they were young. The father and mother did not remember them. However, the boys recognized their parents. The two brothers remembered as their parents did not want them, but they took pity on their father. However, they did not like their stepmother and had pitiful minds. They did not want to give money packages to their hands. So they arranged to put the things to give their parents in a far, far, musty place. "When you reach the place to take things, you need to walk, looking at the ground carefully later," they told their parents. The parents did not look at the ground as they told them and looked at the other place, so they passed where the two brothers put the money. The brothers thought, "Alright, we cannot place it there. We have to hang up for the next time." The parents came back to them and asked again. "When you are on the way back home, look up the pace where you passed last time," the brothers told their parents. At that time, the parents looked down. Therefore, they did not get anything. Their parents kept asking repeatedly, and they also pitied them. So they thought of another way for the next time. They put honey and things and caught and put the queen bees in a container. They gave them two buffaloes too. And then they packed lunch for their parents. The brothers arranged lunch packs for them as they thought the gift might be insufficient. Therefore, they gave them food for their lunch. They also passed the gold packages and silver packages. The brothers also put the presents that the parents did not get previously and told them not to come back again. The parents left after getting the gifts. The brothers told their stepmother, "When you eat your lunch, tie this buffalo on each of your legs." They opened and ate their lunch packs, and the mother did as the brothers told her. After eating, they planned to open the honey container. When they opened the container, bees came out from it and stung the two cows. The cows were shocked and ran in opposite directions. The mother's two thighs were torn apart. The stepmother died there. Their father was left alone. The story ended here. Therefore, when we did not want to take care of orphans or children from the first wife, our lives could be shortened, and we could die early.
