Description: Translation (Seng Pan) I will tell you a story about a hungry ghost. A long time ago, a thief sneaked into a very poor village to steal. Since all the families in the villages were poor, he couldn't find any houses with precious things like gold for him to steal. So, he passed by the houses. In a church, there hung a gong. The thief took down the gong and brought it quietly. By sneaking out from that village carrying the gong, he arrived at the top of a mountain. Since he was exhausted, he took a rest there. At that moment, a huge tiger came towards him. He was frightened and fled from there. After three months from that day, the monkeys came across the gong. And it made a sound. The sound from the gong came out once a week. The villagers were all frightened, and they thought to themselves that the hungry ghost called them. So, the villagers had a shaman in. Then the shaman said, "Once a year, you have to offer a person. When the hungry ghost makes a sound, it's time for him to eat a person." And what the shaman said terrified the villagers. Thus they went to the king and told him about the gong. "Your Majesty. The hungry ghost makes a sound at the top of the mountain near our village. The sound informs us that the hungry ghost would eat a person. And we have to offer a person," the villagers said. Then the king replied, "Don't worry! I will solve your problem." Soon, the king announced that he would give five hundred visas of gold and a half of his palace to the one who could eliminate the hungry ghost. In the village, there was an old lady who had already lived there for many years. Since she had settled in that village, she knew that there weren't any hungry ghosts there. One day, the old lady went and checked the place. When she was watching sneakily, she saw that a group of monkeys played the gong. And she returned to the village. She went and met the king. She said, "Would you really give me five hundred visas of gold and a half of your palace if I could eliminate the hungry ghost?" "I will surely give you what I've promised," the king replied, and all the other villagers also agreed with the king. Thus, she walked onto the mountain one day. She dragged the gong and pushed it to the lower slope of the mountain. After a week from that day, there wasn't the sound of the gong. When the king knew about it, he gave five hundred visas of gold and a half of his palace to the old lady as he promised. The old lady became so rich, and her wealth was handed down from her generation to generation. She spent the rest of her life happily in the palace.
