Title Shan gap jaugawng wa shi a manang wa hpe chyam ai lam (The hunter who tried a friend) with English translation
Description Translation (Htoi San)
Here is the story about the hunter who fed his friends only and tested them one day. A long time ago, there was a man who hunted a lot. His friends came and took the meat, which he hunted and enjoyed together happily. The hunter thought, "I make them happy, and I give them food and drink. Will they be thankful for what I have done to them? I will test them." So one day, he shot an animal and left it, then he told his friends whom he fed them whenever he got meat, "Hey my friends, my friends, I was wrong today. I shot an animal wrongly. I mistakenly shot the animal, which I should not have shot." His friends badmouthed him, "Wow, very good! You are such a hunter and always go hunting. Now, you meet unexpectedly." and no one came and helped him. So he asked his brother, "My brother, I mistakenly shot the animal which I should not have shot. I have to pay the debt." His brother said, "What are we supposed to do now? Let窶冱 solve it. That is the job that we can do together." Then his brother brought gong and gold and came to the hunter. He knew that brother was the brother and his friends were never grateful for how much he treated them from that day onwards. They forgot a favor. Even though he did not remember his brother when he got the meat, his big brother did not keep it in his mind, and when the hunter faced difficulty, he came to help his younger brother.
