Description:Translation (Gun Mai) The story that I am telling now is about all are good whatever happens. Long long ago, there was a big king. The big king was living together with his wife, his children and worked with a lot of gentlemen and senior people. He was staying as a good king. The king was also a very work hard person. He worked every day. One day, when he went to do work, he mistakenly slashed one of his little fingers and it was cut. After he mistakenly cut his finger, he returned to the palace and talked to his counsellor who gave advise him that "Today, I mistakenly cut my figure at work." At that time, the counsellor who stayed with him said that "No problem, no problem. All are good whatever happens. It is useful." The counsellor said the king so. Then, the king said that "Ah... even my finger was cut, you still can say that all are good whatever happens. You said it is good. You don't want you anymore." So, the counsellor was driven out of the palace. The counsellor was sent to a very far place. Since the king already removed a counsellor and it was vacant, he searched a counsellor who could give him advise. He found and and assigned a counsellor again because he needed him now. The second counsellor was good, handsome, smart, and active. He was also very good at everything. The king said to the second counsellor that "Hey counsellor, you and me, let's go to the jungle to do hunting." And, they took rifles and food and went to the jungle to do hunting. When they got to the inside of the jungle, they met with a lot of barbarians. So, the barbarians who lived in the jungle captured the two of them. They captured and tied and put them upside down. The barbarian who lived in the jungle used to grill and eat the humans. They were very cruel barbarians. Then, the barbarians looked first at the counsellor who the king brought and they did not see any fault on the body of the counsellor. So, the barbarian untied the counsellor and grilled him, and ate first. The barbarians devoted first to their related nats and grilled and ate the counsellor. After they finished eating the counsellor, they also looked again at the king but they found that a finger of the king was cut. So, they said that "This body is imperfect. Even if we grill and eat this man, it is useless. Our nat might also not like him." So, the barbarians released the king. The king was released and he got home so the king thought to himself that "Whatt the previous counsellor said all are good whatever happens is very true. If my figure was not cut, the barbarians might already be grilled and eaten me. What my counsellor said the fact that I mistakenly cut my finger was a good thing. What he said was very good. Because my finger was cut, I was not grilled and eaten. Thus, he called again the counsellor who he drove out and let him stay in the palace happily. He stayed happily together with his previous counsellor in his palace. The story is ended here. Thank you very much.
