Description:Translation (Htoi San) I am telling a story of an intelligent man. Once upon a time, a king had many male and female servants in a country. He had a brilliant, talented, and well-educated male servant among all his helpers. That manservant talked about himself, "There is no one educated like me." He spoke about this again and again so that the king heard him. Therefore the king asked him to come. The king told him, "As you are so smart and wise, I will test you." "Yes, sure, My King. Please go ahead." The king tested him, "I will examine you as the first one, Catch the wave from the sea over there." The competent servant responded, "My King, if you want me to catch the wave, please make me wings which are made of sand." The king was amazed by his servant's answer and did not know how to reply to his request. "Alright, never mind. I will give another task," the king continued. The king caught a baby duck and gave it to him. The king ordered him, "Take this and make five dishes with this duckling." The manservant replied, "Alright. My King. Please listen to my request as well. Please prepare a stove and a pot for cooking for me." He also brought a needle for another request. "Please help me to make this needle into a knife big enough for cooking." The king thought his servant was insulted for making such a small needle into a big knife, so the king was so angry and chased him away, "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Get out of my sight. Get out of my palace. Don't even step on my ground." The following day, that manservant rode a small pony, carried the soil from his house, and then placed it at the entrance of the gate outside the palace. He placed the soil from his house, and he rode the pony to and fro in front of the gate for the entire morning. Then the king saw this and ordered his men, "Kill that man. I ordered him not to stay in my sight, but he let me see him. I commanded him not to step on my ground." That manservant responded, "My King, I do not step on your belonging ground. This soil is from my own house that I brought and stepped on." The king did not know how to respond to him. Then the king said, "If you say so, I will test you with one thing." The manservant asked, "My King, if I cannot answer you this time, what are you going to do to me?" The king answered, "It depends on you and how you answer." "If so, ask me," the manservant responded. The king talked about a kettle and a fruit, and then he gave the kettle first. "Put the fruit into the hole of the kettle. It must fit into it." "When you put the fruit, it should not destroy, should not be flaccid, and it must be put into the kettle nicely." The king asked him to do that. The king gave that kettle to the manservant. The servant went home and thought about how to do it as the king gave him a month to think it over. He would be tortured and killed if he could not get the solution within a month. So he thought about it seriously. After a week, he went to an orchard. He saw a passionate tree bearing fruits. The passionate fruits were still young, and they fit exactly into the hole of the kettle which the king gave him. He put the fruit into the kettle, and the fruit went into it easily. "This will be bigger after three weeks. It will go in without any bruises and marks. It will be inside the kettle beautifully." The man thought this way, and after that, he put the fruit into the pot and hung it on the tree, On the third week morning, he went to see the kettle and found the fruit inside was bigger. Then there was no bruise, and it was perfectly nice. So the manservant plucked the fruit from the orchard and brought it to the king. The king was so amazed when he received it. "Oh my! How can you put this fruit into the kettle? This big fruit was put into a small hole in the kettle without any marks, and nothing was wrong. You are so bright." "That is why I congratulate you." The king praised that man with gold, jade, and jewelry. Furthermore, the king placed him in the palace and gave him a bodyguard position. Transcription (Lu Awng) Hpaji chye ai la a lam tsun na re.
