Description:		Translation (Htoi San) I am telling a story about a female gnome. People talked about how in an intense forest, female gnomes stayed there. I don't know when people started talking about it. One day, a king had a female servant who had wisdom. She had a lot of knowledge, and she was very testable. One day, a thief stole a bell from a church. That bell was a copper church bell so that it could be sold. Therefore, the thief stole that copper bell. The thief took the bell without making any sound and went up to the jungle hill. He ran away to the place where people said a female gnome was there. The place where he went did not have a female gnome but had a tiger. The tiger bit broke and ate him all. He was eaten, and only his bones were left. His bones were left in the forest mountain. The bell he stole was not sold and was left in the forest mountain. That mountain became a forest as time passed year after year. In that forested mountain, monkeys were there too. Monkeys climbed up and down from trees and saw the copper bell, so they played with it. Monkeys were curious and wanted to knock it here and there when they saw the bell. They picked up the bell and rang it, "Ding! Ding! Ding!" and tested it. The bell made the sound, so monkeys played it all the time. The people who went up to that mountain saw the bones of the thief, which the tiger ate. They also heard the sound of the bell, so they were scared and ran away. They were shocked and said, "A female gnome is here. She is here. Bones are here. That female gnome broke and ate a human. Bones were left." The people got away from there, saying, "A female gnome is here. A female gnome is here." They all fled, and some villages near that mountain moved to another town. The wise and knowledgeable servant did not believe that. The king also heard this happening, not only the servant girl. The king thought for people from that village, "How can I solve that problem for the people from my country?" He was distressed by that problem day after day. The king remembered his wise servant, the lowest and smallest among all the people in his palace. "Ahh! I may need to go and see first," said the girl. "Everybody is scared of that place, but I must go and check that place first." Then she told the king, "My King! I am now chasing out that female gnome." She had a chance and responsibility to get an idea. "I am going to chase the female gnome away, so please provide me with what I need, like money and so on," she requested the king. She asked for the items for worshiping spirits, but she already knew that it was because of monkeys. The king replied, "Alright, I have trouble solving that case, but if you can clear that out, even if you are a girl servant, go ahead to solve it." "I will arrange whatever you need," agreed the king and issued the things that the girl requested. She pretended to worship spirits in the palace. Actually, she did not worship spirits; she just did this for people to see that she was preparing to chase the female gnome. After that, she went up to the mountain. When she reached there, she saw the monkeys playing that bell, as she had guessed. There were many monkeys, so she frightened them strongly. After that, she threw rice and placed the fruits and food she brought. When the monkeys came and checked, shockingly, she hid. The food and fruits were the types of monkey's favorite that she threw them to eat, then she hid and checked. Monkeys were shocked and jumped down from the tree. After that, they only focused on the food then they let the bell drop. They dropped the bell from a tree and jumped down to eat the food. During that time, the girl picked up the bell nicely and went back. From that day onward, nobody heard the bell ringing. The bell did not make any sound. Before, people called that mountain "A mountain has a female gnome." When they did not hear the bell ring, they thought, "That servant girl chased it away." They believed that was also good for them as there was no female gnome. People had their mindset of a female gnome living in the deep forest; actually, there was no female gnome out in the world. No one had seen a female gnome until today. Even though no one has seen a female gnome, we imagine ourselves as she is somewhere out there.
