Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a poor man in a village. He had a camel. One day, he was hungry and went back home while he was looking after his camel. He tied the camel to the tree and went back home to eat lunch. At that moment, a merchant walked past near the camel. He thought, "I lost my goods this time. I will just take this camel with me." When the poor man came back there after having lunch, he didn't see his camel. He saw only footprints. He shouted, "Thief! Thief!" He followed through the footprints. At one place, he could follow the merchant. He said to the merchant, "My friend, why did you take my camel?" The merchant said, "No, it's mine. Why did you follow me? The camel is mine." The poor man said, "No, that is mine. I tied it over there." They kept arguing over it. Then, they decided to go to the wise man to make a decision for them. The wise man asked them, "What brings you here?" The merchant, the theif, said, "I bought this camel with my own money. But he said that is his camel and chased me." The real owner of the camel said, "No! While I was going back home to eat lunch, he stole my camel." The wise man said, "You two sit far away." And he asked the merchant, "What did you feed your camel?" The merchant answered, "As I am a rich man, I feed only corns or sesame seeds." Then, the wise man asked the same question to the poor man. The man said, "I can afford to feed only grass." The wise man said, "What else do you want to say? Why did you follow that man and say that is your camel?" The real owner of the camel said, "One of my camel's teeth is broken. So, when it eats food, there is a space left. And its footprints are not the same because one of its feet is hurt." After hearing what the poor man said, the wise man immediately knew that he was the owner. But he needed to do the thief admitted by himself. So, he said, "Give a purgative pill to the camel. It will poop what you fed it." Then, the waste of the camel was only grass, not corns or sesames. The wise man said to the merchant, "You are a thief! You stole his camel. So, you have to compensate him." The wise man made a fair decision for them. Finally, the poor man took his own camel and went back home. This is the end of the story.
