Description:Translation (Gun Mai) A long time ago, there were two brothers. The elder brother was blind. Since the elder brother was blind, it seemed that the younger brother wanted to dominate the elder brother. The parents shared and divided the properties for the two brothers. They also had a lot of cattle. The two brothers were shared. The younger brother used to steal the cattle of the elder brother. The younger brother also sent his cattle to the pasture along with the elder brother's cattle and took the cattle of this elder brother. But, the elder brother did not know. One day, the elder brother visited his younger brother and rubbed the cattle in the cattle shed. When the elder brother was rubbing, there were a lot of cattle. So, the elder brother understood that his younger brother took his cattle. But, he asked his younger brother that "Younger brother, you have such a lot of cattle. Where did you get from?" Then, the younger brother lied to the elder brother. "When I released my cattle on the mountain over there, the wild cattle and other cattle that have no owner got along with my cattle. If you don't believe, you can also release your cattle. Many cattle have no owner. You will get those cattle," said the younger brother. So, the elder brother thought what his younger said was true. "If so, I will also go there," the elder brother said. Then, although the elder brother was blind, he took his staff and went to the mountain. When he got to the mountain, there were no cattle. It was only plain and roof grass field. In the roof grass field, the blind elder brother was walking around. At that time, a woman was shaving the roof grass. When the blind man heard the sound of shaving, he thought that it was cattle so he went there. The blind man rubbed the body including the buttock of the woman who was shaving the roof grass. The woman also thought it was a cow that "Ah.. this cow is very wild," and she turned and pecked the blind man with her sickle. Then, the blind man also thought to himself that "Hmm, this cow is also very wild. Even it knocked with the horn on my forehead. May be it is because I did not bring salt. I will bring salt tomorrow." On the next day, the blind elder brother brought salt and went again to the field. When the blind elder brother got to the field, he was giving salt that "Here eat, eat." At that time, a man was shaving the roof grass and the blind man heard the shaving sound. So, he thought it was a cow and immediately caught the man. Then, the man also pecked with his sickle. The blind man thought that he was knocked with the horn by a cow and he ran away. His forehead was bleeding. The blind elder brother thought to himself that "Hmm, what my younger brother said the cattle are very wild is true. How did my younger brother catch? I caught nothing. Now I am almost dead. I hurt a lot. The cow knocked by horn me such this." Then, he returned home. On the way to return home, the elder brother was died because of over bleeding. Then, the younger brother thought that he could live happily now with the cattle that were stolen from the elder brother. But, when he saw his elder brother, he got regret a lot. "I am a very bad man that I told my elder brother like that," said the younger brother and he got regret after his elder brother died.
