Description:Translation (Htoi Awng) The story is about opium. Long time ago, there were three kingdoms which were ruled by three kings. Each of the kings had one son. In one kingdom, there was a family which had a gorgeous daughter. The three princes from the three kingdoms wanted to get the love of the girl and offered to marry the girl. So, her parents decided to marry her off. One prince said that he would come to the girl tomorrow to marry her. Another said the same too. Then, the girl said to her parents, "If you let me marry to all those three princes, I can't. I will just die on the day when they come. There will bloom a very beautiful flower on the place where you bury me. Don't pluck the flower up." When she died, there was really a small plant growing on her grave. At first, a bud appeared, and then the stem bent over. After that, peel started to cover. After some time, the fruit had ripened and smelled. The girl told her parents before she died, "Slit the fruit, and wipe the sap on folk weave. And expose it to the sun. When it is dried, sell it. You will get lots of money. You don't even need to do hard work for your livelihood. The money will be enough for you two." The parents did as the daughter said. When they scraped it, much sap was oozing out. They put the sap on the folk weave and dried it. Many people saw that and came to buy that. They liked the taste and bought it very often. Then, the girl's parents had got lots of money. Other people asked the girl's parents, "How did you two get rich?" They answered, "Our only daughter had become the most beautiful opium when she died. We scraped the opium and sold it. Then we get rich." When people from other kingdoms heard about that, they said, "You didn't let us marry her because you want to get rich like that." Now, people who live in this place sell opium and earn their living. Most of us sell opium. Some people sold poppy in the past and get rich now. Even older people grow the opium farms and earn their living. Transcription (Lu Awng) Kani a lam.
