Description:Translation (Seng Pan) A long time ago, a needy grandmother and her grandson, the orphan, lived in a village. They only did good things for their living. Although they were so poor, they had never thought to steal other's property. They owned beautiful minds and had good attitudes. In the village, there also lived the boys called Lalawma. They were those who bullied the others and robbed the things. One day, the village head announced, "Today, we are going to clear a road. Therefore, starting from the time we finish our meal, we all need to clear the road, including all the widows and orphans." Thus, all the villagers, including Lalawma or the bullies, the grandmother and orphan, went to clear the road after eating their meal. The orphan was also told, "The orphan, you also have to go!" So, he also came along. When they were working, Lalawma bullied the orphan a lot. Lalawma forced him to clean where it was hard to do. They only worked where they didn't need to use much effort. And there was a huge rock in a ravine. It was needed to move to another place. Lalawma didn't have enough courage to do that task. Thus, they threatened the orphan, "If you couldn't move this, we will not let you go back home. Just sleep here tonight! Don't come back if you are not able to move it!" The orphan said, "I couldn't do it alone. Please help me!" "Shut up and do it alone!" Lalawma replied. When the orphan was trying to move the rock, the monkeys came to help him. Moreover, the rats also joined to help the orphan. And they assisted the orphan in digging the soil, and the monkeys helped him scooping the soil with their hands. Since they worked together with the orphan, the task was going to be accomplished before getting dark. Therefore, the rats went back when it got dark since the work was nearly finished. The monkeys also returned to their place. After everyone had left, the orphan planned to roll the rock alone. As he couldn't do it alone, he called the monkeys back. He shouted, "Monkeys. I am so thankful that you helped me digging the soil. But help me to roll the rock!" The monkeys also came to help him. They rolled the rock together from the road to another place. After it, the orphan saw a shining thing in the pot-hole of the rock when he returned to fill it with the soil. He got closer to it and took a look carefully. He had never seen anything like it before. Since he realized it was valuable, he wrapped it with his jacket and covered it with the soil. After it, he ran back home. At night, the orphan said to his grandmother, "Today, I moved a huge rock. The monkeys and rats helped me. After moving the rock, I planned to fill the soil in the pot-hole of the rock. There I found a very beautiful thing. And I wrapped it with my jacket. Let go and have a look, grandma!" The grandmother also believed what her grandson said and went together to that place. When they got there, they literally found a very shining thing. The orphan unwrapped his jacket. He and his grandmother figured out it was a priceless jade. When they took the jade out, there still was a bag of gold under it. They thought to bring the things home and hide them in a place. But the grandmother and orphan considered how to do it. Then they told the village head about it. Since the village head was a righteous man, he said, "We need to inform this to our king. Therefore, tomorrow, we should go to the king before Lalawma wakes up. Tonight, prepare the food for tomorrow well!" The grandmother and orphan prepared for the next morning, and they didn't sleep on that night. In the following early morning, before the sunrise, they went to the palace. On the third day, they arrived at the palace. When the orphan and grandmother got to the palace, the gatekeeper asked them, "Who do you want to meet?" "The king invited us to come," they replied. "Come in!" the gatekeeper said. They passed the gate, and when they arrived at the door, the doorkeeper asked, "Why do you come? Who do you want to meet? Where are you from?" "We are the grandmother and orphan. We are here to meet the king as he invited us," they replied. "Come in!" the doorkeeper replied and opened the door for them. When the orphan and grandmother met the king, they untied the pack and showed the king the jade and gold. Then the king got shocked. Suddenly, the king kept the jade and gold into a box and said, "Do you want to take back home the payment for the jade and gold? Or. Do you want to stay here?" The grandmother and orphan answered, "We would like to take it back home." As the king heard it, he felt pity for them. So, he said, "If you take back the payment to the village, the people from the village will kill you. Therefore, don't go back! Just stay in this palace. I will give you a house. I will also give you, my country. Even if you want my daughter, I can give you." Thus, the orphan and grandmother chose to stay in a house in the palace. On the seventh day of living there, the king arranged the marriage between the orphan and his daughter. The grandmother and the orphan lived a wealthy life in the palace for the rest of the life. This is the end of the story. The story tells that tolerating each other' jealousy is a success and hardworking is also an achievement.
