Description: Translation (Gun Mai) Long long ago, there was a king couple who was very famous and ruled over three states, and also very wealthy. The king collected taxes from the three states so it was unspendable wealth in their lives and it was the most pleasant time for them. But, they did not have a son. They had three daughters. Among the three daughters, Ma Kaw, the first daughter was a very good daughter who loved her father and mother and also loved her two younger sisters. She also had a good and friendly relationship with all senior and junior counsellors of the king who were living in the palace. Even though there were three daughters, the king and his wife got older so they discussed each other that "Although we have such a great time, there is no son who will be my successor. Out of the three daughters, let's arrange to marry a daughter who is good and I will assign my throne and make the king to the husband of the daughter." So, the king called the three daughters. "My dear daughters, come to me," called the king. When all the three daughters got to him, the father said that "I will ask you all to do something. I will assign my throne to the one who can make what I asked to do. I will let the husband of the daughter live into the palace and assign the throne and make the king." So, " what is it, father? We will try to make it," said the daughters. Then, the king said that "Now in this world, bring to me 'flower that not wither." When the father asked to bring 'the flower that not wither', the sisters said that "Is there any flower that not wither? All flowers used to wither. Will there be such a flower?" The eldest daughter said that "There must be. There must be. Don't worry." They went to find the flower by crossing mountains and jungles. They were given time for a week to find the flower. They were asked to bring the flower after one week. They passed one day but did not find the flower. Also, two days and it passed one week. But, they hadn't found the flower. The eldest daughter utmostly saw 'the flower that not wither'. How the flower that not wither bloom was that if a flower withered in a branch, there is a flower that bloomed in another branch and another flower was at the beginning of the blooming in another else branch. She found such flowers with branches. The eldest sister said that "It is the flower that not wither. If this one is withered, this one will bloom. If that one is withered again, this one will bloom again. Thus, these three flowers are the flower that not wither." The eldest sister found that returned home. She also called her two younger sisters and said that "I have found. Let's go home." The two younger sisters said that "We will bring the flower." The two younger sisters had no good behavior. "Let us bring. Let us bring the flower," said the two younger sisters. "No, don't bring it. Since I found it, I will bring the flower. Follow me. I will go ahead. Follow me," said the eldest sister. Then, the eldest sister brought the flower and went ahead. The two younger sisters talked to each other that "Father is going to assign the throne to the eldest sister. We won't get it. So, let's beat and kill the eldest sister and bring the flower to father and mother. They cruelly discussed and agreed to do so. They took a piece of big wood and beat it on the head of the eldest sister. "Don't do it, my younger sisters," said the eldest sister but they seriously beat her to death. After their eldest sister died, they took the flower and returned the palace. They showed and said happily that "We found the flower, father. Here." When the father looked at the flower, one flower withered and another flower was blooming and another else flower was at the beginning of blooming. "Yeah.. this is the flower that not wither. I am very happy. My both younger sisters are very good. I am very happy" said the king and asked that "Where is your eldest sister?" "We don't see the eldest sister," said the daughters. "We did not meet with her. We even did not see her. She went to the other place. We did not meet with her," said the two daughters. The mother did not believe and said, "I don't quite believe what you two just said, my two daughters. Your eldest sister is the one who really takes care of you two and also really loves you two. She won't go elsewhere by leaving you two." "Mother, because we had to find the flower, we went separately. We two even just met later. We were separated," lied the two daughters. Even after one month, the eldest daughter did not come back. They said just to decide when the eldest daughter back. Since there was the eldest sister, it was to decide when she came back. But, the eldest daughter did not come back even after one month. Thus, they called the counsellors. "My eldest daughter was asked to find the flower that not wither but she hasn't come back yet so far. So, please you counsellors go and find my eldest daughter," said the king. The counsellors said that "We don't know where she went to find the flower." "Ask her younger sisters. Also, bring them and find together with them," said the king. The younger sisters did not bring them to the place where they went. They took to another place and it took many days. "We were here. We were in this place," lied the two daughters. They did not see anything. So, "Hmmm..I think the place you two showed us seems not right. I think your eldest sister went to the other place," said the senior counsellor. He continued that "We will search this side." They went to another side to find. It had been already for months and the dead body of the eldest sister was eaten by the animals and evils. So, there was only bone left. They only found a piece of bone of the hand. They said that "What is this bone?" The bone was also with notches. "What is this bone," said and when they picked up the bone, the bone spoke. "Dear senior counsellor, this is my bone. Please tell my mother and father," said the bone. Then, the two younger sisters also said that "Let us also hold the bone." When they held the bone, "Dear my younger sisters, this is the bone of your eldest sister. Tell mother and father," said the bone. When the bone spoke so, the younger sisters said that "Let's not bring this bone home. Let's throw it. "Let's not bring this bone. Let's throw it." Then, the counsellor said that "Why? This bone said to bring it to mother and father. So, this is the bone of your eldest sister. May be she met with the animals. I will definitely bring this bone to your father and mother." The senior counsellor brought the bone. When they brought the bone to their father and mother, the counsellor said that "We just found this bone there." The bone spoke again then. "My dear mother, this is the bone of your daughter's hand." When the father held the bone, it said so, "This is the bone of the hand." Since then, they did not believe anymore their younger daughters, "The two daughters have perhaps twisted us." Then, the father got angry. The mother was sad. Fathers used to get angry. So, the father kept angry. The mother kept sad. Just after they coaxed and asked, the youngest daughter disclosed that they beat and killed their eldest sister. And, the youngest daughter continued that "This is the flower of the eldest sister." At that time, immediately, the earrings and rings of the two daughters that were provided recently were taken. Only with the clothes that they were wearing, they were expelled from the palace. "Don't return absolutely to the palace. Such the daughters" said and expelled. The two sisters were wandering nearby the palace. They could not anything as they were the king's daughters. Since they could not do anything, they became beggars. The people said that "You two are the conceited girls when you were the daughters of the king. Right? The arrogant girls. Right? Can't feed you." So, they felt very hungry and the younger sister said that "Let's go to a village that does not know about we are the daughters of the king. Let's go and beg there." They went to a village that was very far from their big city and begged there. Only then, there were fed as they were beggars. Since then, from that day, from that sisters, the land of begging and generations of beggars were started until today.
