Description:Translation (Gun Mai) This is - a woman - is married again - it is about a widower and his two boys. Long long ago, a man's wife was passed away and left two sons with the father. After the wife had passed away, the father married a woman again. The second wife did not like the two boys of the man and only liked the man, his husband. Since she did not like the two boys, she kept grumbling that "Let your two boys stay in another place." She kept grumbling to her husband to send the two boys to another place. Thus, the father of the two boys could not do anything and felt sad a lot. But, his wife was always saying to send the two boys to another place and she also did not feed well to the two boys. Since the wife kept saying so, the man could not do anything so he was thinking that "How should I do with my two sons?" And, the man gave swords to each son and he carried the two sons on his back. The two boys were still young and they were only about seven years old. The man carried the two sons and crossed a big river and brought them to a place quite far after they cross the river in order for his two sons not to be able to return home. He brought them and left them in a jungle. He left the two sons and said that "My two sons, live here." After the man told the two sons, he returned home. Even though it was getting dark, the man did not come back to the two sons and he returned home completely. When he got home, the man said to his wife that "As you told me, I left my two sons just like that." The wife then said that "Very good now." The two boys were growing up day by day and they also could do farm themselves. They had been growing up like that and when they were working on the farm and when they returned home, rice and food were prepared well and deliciously for them. They used to eat the prepared food but they were amazed that "Who used to prepare the food for us?" They thought that their father prepared for them in the beginning. But, they never saw their father so they said that "I am sure someone cooks and prepares the food for us." So, one day, the younger brother, Ma Naw was waiting and was looking secretly. The elder brother had already gone ahead away. When the younger brother was looking secretly, he saw that a very beautiful girl who also had white skin was cooking the food for them. Before the younger brother was looking secretly, he said to himself that "I must marry the girl who used to cook for us such delicious foods." He was thinking so and when he was looking secretly, a very beautiful girl was cooking the food for them. Thus, the younger brother immediately hugged the girl and got the girl. Thus, the two brothers also got the girl and they lived happily. They also got more properties. There were also a lot of elephant tusks near their kitchen, where the food was cooked. It was long elephant tusks and may be it was to pay for the bride. Thus, they did not need to worry about the money. The two brothers became very rich and lived happily. They also thought that they would go home to bring their father to stay with them but their father had passed away. The father left them in the jungle so they separated between the father and the two sons. It meant that it happened because the father did not love the two sons and just listened more to his second wife. This is a short story.
