Description:Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell now is about goldfish. Once upon a time, there was a king. He had prowess in combat. He was also good at doing business and agriculture. So, he was a well-known king. On the other hand, he liked beautiful girls. He always confiscated the beautiful girls wherever he saw, and he didn't care whose wives they were. One day, the king went to tour his land. At a place, he saw a beautiful bride. She was walking together with her representatives to the wedding tent. The king asked, "Beautiful lady, where are you going? With whom are you going to marry?" The girl replied, "Your majesty, we are going to the temporary tent which you can see from here. We will hold the wedding there." "I want you," the king said. "I'm afraid to deny your order, but I have been in love with him for seven years," the girl begged. "Don't worry. I will pay him money for taking you," the king gave an order and confiscated her. At the wedding tent, the groom and guests waited for her the whole day. As the wedding was cancelled, the groom felt so embarrassed. On the other hand, the king also couldn't please the girl even though he gave her many presents. The girl prayed, "God, please help me! The king picked me as his mistress among many other girls. We should punish him for his action." One day, she requested the king, "Hold a wedding for me, your majesty. I want a big building with three flats in the field, which is as big as a football field." The king accepted her requests. As the place they held the wedding was near her ex-fiance's village, she invited the villagers, including her ex-fiance and entertained them in the first flat. The king was also so happy on that day. During the wedding ceremony, she requested the king to let her give a speech from the seventh floor. The king also allowed her. So, she went up to the seventh floor, and by standing on the edge of the veranda, she said, "Dear ex-fiance and villagers, this king is crucial. He has already got over hundred of mistresses. And he still wants the girl like me who is about to marry. He is inhuman. We have to dismiss him. He is a lustful king." After saying that, she jumped from the seventh flat and died. The king was so angry for putting him to shame and letting the people know how crucial he was. Therefore, he commanded to chop the girls body. His servants cut the body into pieces. After that, the king ordered them to pond those pieces. After pounding, the servants were told to throw in a river. Those pieces of the girl's body became small goldfish. And the colour was blood-red because those pieces were the organs of the girl. The people named it goldfish. Nowadays, people breed the goldfish in beautiful glass tanks.
