Description:Translation (Sen Pan) A long time ago, there was a kindhearted king. He spent days in the jungle and went on like a journey. As the king walked on, he arrived at a village. He reached to a field. On that night, a couple was giving birth when he got there. Since the king didn't dare come inside the field hut, he just slept outside the hut. Inside the hut, the couple gave birth to a boy while the king was sleeping. At midnight, a prophet came to the field. The prophet saw the king first. The king said, "What brings you here?" "I came to visit the couple," the prophet replied. "I guess you can't go inside. They are giving birth," the king said. "Yes, I know. I am here to tell them about the baby boy. (He is like the one who could foretell what would happen in the future.) I am going to inform the couple," the prophet said. "Can you tell me about the baby instead of telling them?" the king replied. Then the prophet explained, "When this baby becomes a grown man, or he is in the twenties, he would be gored to death by a tiger at the age of twenty-five. He would be dead there." Then, the king felt unhappy for the baby boy. He thought to himself that if the baby boy lived in the forest like he was now, the baby would surely be harmed by the tiger. So, he planned to ask for the baby boy from the couple and adopted him. Thus, the king pursued the couple and said, "I will adopt your son and bring him to my palace." The couple also agreed to give their son to the king. On the other hand, the king memorized what the prophet said to him. Then he built fences and lived inside with the baby boy. As the boy became an adult, the king commanded his soldiers to kill all the tigers in the country and even in the places near his territory. Moreover, the king ruled that the tiger picture should not be shown in the country. No one was allowed to carry around a picture that was similar to the tiger. The king was so happy that the boy grew up so well. In that year, the boy was turning twenty-five. If nothing happened to him on the day he turned twenty-five, he would be freed from danger. On that day, the two painters who were well known for their great arts were invited to the palace by the king. The king planned to tell them about the royal history and let them draw it. One of them carried the picture of a tiger. Without any ideas, the painter put the picture on a table. The tiger from the picture became alive and jumped out from it. At that time, the boy was walking around the palace. The tiger chased the boy and gored him to death. Since before, the prophet had already told how the boy would die. Thus the king was really depressed. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi kalang mi hta da ndai hkawhkam wa gaw da grai myit su ai re da.
