Description:		Translation (Htoi San) The story is about the monkey king. Once upon a time, there was a monkey king in a big forest. The troop of monkeys was many, which lived with him. The monkey king ruled them so that he did whatever he liked and said whatever he wanted. The monkey king governed a considerable troop of monkeys which consisted of all the monkeys in that forest, including many female monkeys. Those female monkeys gave birth to baby monkeys one after another when the time came. When a new female infant was born, the king did not say anything. When the female monkeys gave birth to the male infants, the king killed them all. So all the monkeys from the whole forest explored who would give birth to a male or a female because they knew that it would be killed if the infant was a male. At that time, one mother monkey was pregnant. She was worried that if she bore a male, the monkey king would kill it. Therefore, she decided to run away from that forest. She resided in another forest. After living there for a time, she gave birth to an infant monkey. That infant was really a male monkey. She remembered that she could not go back to her old forest as she delivered a male monkey. So she lived there with her baby. But her son was growing day by day. Her baby asked her as they lived only by themselves. "Mother, there are only two of us here, and I am not happy." "There are only two of us, which makes me so lonely. I have never seen what I can call father, and I want to meet with many friends," told her son. "Where are my father and my friends?" Mother did not say anything at first. She did not tell him anything, but the son asked her again and again. Mother told her son, "My child, you can't go back to your father, and you can't live with him. If you go back to him, he will kill you because you are a male." "Before you were born, when other mother monkeys bore babies, your father kept the female babies, but he killed all the male babies." "That's why I brought you here to stay alive," explained the mother. Even though the mother clarified everything to her son, he did not accept it as he grew older. "Let's go back to my father. I know how to stay with him. I will stay alert of how my father will do bad to me. If he does, I will know and remember how I can handle it. Just go back to my father to meet," the son insisted then the mother brought him back to his father. She led the way directly to the monkey king. When the mother and the son reached the monkey king, he welcomed them happily. "Oh dear, come come, my son, you are already grown up," hugged his son and accepted. While the father was hugging his son, the father grasped his neck. At that moment, the son tried to release from grasping his neck, he struggled with all of his strength, and he could manage to escape. Then, the father could not kill the son. The father realized that he could not kill his son with his own strength and was thinking that no matter how it took to be able to kill his son. So, the monkey king used his brain and determined deeply. "E, my child, you are the most trustworthy child." "That's why, go and take lovely flowers from the lake over there for me," the monkey king ordered his son. So the son went there. When he reached beside the lake, the flowers were not on the side of the lake. They were in the middle of the lake. There was a dragon in that lake. He checked the footprints, but he only saw them leading to the lake. He did not see any footprints coming out from that lake. So he thought and remembered, "That's why no one escapes whoever goes into the lake. If I go into it, and my life cannot be survived." He thought and thought, "How can I pluck this flower?" "I have to get that flower. My life also gets through it." He was thinking of jumping across from this side to the other side and jumping back from the other side to this side of the lake to pluck the flowers. So he jumped across from this side to the other side with all of his power and plucked flowers, then he jumped across back from the other side to this side and plucked flowers. After he did that 3, 4, 5 times, he got enough flowers to bring back. After getting flowers, he sat beside the lake, cleansing and binding them. While the son was busy tidying the flowers, the dragon from the lake thought, "He did not come into the lake and got the flowers from my lake. Who is he?" - the dragon curiously protruded and looked at him. The dragon came out from the lake and saw a male baby monkey cleansing and tidying the flowers. As the son sat down and the dragon saw him, "A ga, baby monkey, how could you pluck the flowers which grew in my lake? You are so smart that you did not come into the lake, and you got those." "There were many baby monkeys who came before you were all male. One after one, they came in, but I could eat them all." "Now, I can't eat you. You are free," said the dragon. "Then, I want to know who ordered you to do this." The son replied, "There is a monkey king from the forest where I inhabit, and he wants to destroy all the male monkeys. So he commands all this." "That's why, now he asked me to do this to let you, the dragon, eat me. But I did like this not to be eaten by you," explained the son. "If so, I will send you back to the monkey king by myself. Let's go back with me," told the dragon. The baby monkey agreed to the dragon, and they both really went back together. They went directly to the monkey king, who was the head of the forest. But the king thought that the dragon from the lake ate the son, and the son could not come back. The king was happy with his thought, and he saw the son came back holding flowers. The king looked carefully at who he came back with then saw the dragon. Due to his evil intentions and mindsets, he thought this dragon came to eat him. He was shocked and scared, then he died there on the spot. So the monkey boy who plucked the flowers led the troop of monkeys from that forest happily, and he became the good monkey king.
