Description: Translation (Seng Pan) A long time ago, there was a woman with two children. When the children became adults, the oldest daughter got married. She had got a baby. Soon, her younger sister also got married. And the two families lived together with the mother. Thus, the elder sister said, "I'm happy living with mom and my sister's family. But it's too crowded in this house. Thus, my family and I should in a separate place since I am the oldest daughter." The younger sister replied, "Then, what about mom?" The elder sister said, "She can live where she is pleased. She can stay with you or with me. Mom. What do you think?" Their mother said, "I will stay with your young sister. You are a nice daughter. So, I trust you. Since your sister is a bit disobedient, I have to live with her." The mother remained with the younger daughter. The elder sister and her family moved to another place. As they lived on, the younger daughter had children, and she cared less for her mother than before. Even she didn't feed her. And she always swore at her mother. Thus the mother became depressed too. She said, "Dear, you shouldn't swear at me like that. I've persuaded you to become a good person." "I don't want to hear what you say," the daughter replied. One day, the mother passed away in sorrow since she was depressed and heartbroken. But no one in the village came and helped the younger sister's family since she was so rude. Since they had just left the dead body outside, the mother's skeleton had already decayed. The elder sister considered that she still couldn't return to her home since she had heard about her mother. So, she said, "Let's go back, kids! Your grandmother passed away." She returned home to give her last greet to the mother. She mumbled, "If I were informed when my mother was ill, I would bring her to my house." And the elder sister cried in great sorrow. While she was crying, an idea came up in her mind that she should take back one of her mother's bones and bury it in front of her house. Then she carried back a bone and buried it near the front door. Since the elder sister was truly blessed, a coconut tree grew from where she buried her mother's bone. As the coconut tree got bigger, it fruited huge coconuts. Therefore, the elder sister was so happy. The more she picked up the coconuts, the more coconuts it fruited. Thus, the elder sister and her family sold the coconuts. Soon, the younger sister and her family visited to take a look at the coconut tree. "Sister. You have a good coconut tree in front of your house. I want to pick some," the younger sister said. "Ok! Go and pick! I had buried mother's bone, but a coconut tree grows from it," the elder sister replied. When the younger sister picked the coconut, it turned into leaves. Since the younger sister didn't get blessings from her mother, everything she tried failed. However, when the elder sister picked the coconut, she could get huge coconuts, and the more she picked, the more coconuts it fruited. Thus, you shouldn't make your mother feel sad. If not, you wouldn't get blessings from her. And you also have to listen to your mother. This is the end of the story. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi da ndai kanu gaw kasha 2 lu ai da.
