Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Now, I will tell you about a bully. Once upon a time, there was a bully chief in a village. When the villagers got any meat, they must give a bigger piece to the chief. When the villagers picked the banana leaves, they had to give the most beautiful leaves to the chief. They needed to give the chief any vegetables from their fields. The chief always bullied the villagers. One day, a lady was on her way to the field. She was thinking about something and wasn't aware of her surroundings. She didn't notice that the bad chief was following right behind her. She thought she was alone, so she farted. She was even shocked at herself and said, "Oh God, here we go." The chief behind her quickly took the knife out of the scabbard and cut her Shawa Nang necklace as soon as he heard her fart. Then, the chief kept bullying the villagers day after day. There was a skilled carpenter who always helped the mean chief. However, he once made a verbal blunder. Then the chief just assumed that his words were about him and thought the carpenter wanted to disgrace his family. So he arrested the carpenter and made him a slave. And he took him to another villager to sell him as a slave. On their way, one family asked them, "What's wrong?" The chief said, "I am on my way to sell him because he disgraced me." Then that family said, "He is the skilled carpenter who built our house. He is really well-behaved. I can't let it happen. How much do you want? Just tell me! I will give you as much as you want. Instead, leave him here." The chief was ashamed. The chief took the money they gave him and went back to his village. However, he never regretted his actions and still kept bullying the villagers. As a consequence of his bad behaviour, his children never had good lives. He couldn't have any male children to take his family name. None of his children were educated either. Therefore, we shouldn't do any bad things to others.
