Translation (Gun Mai)
Long long ago in a village, there was a very poor family. They did highland cultivation and there were also a lot of monkeys. The monkeys were extremely active and annoyed the people. It is about monkey what I will tell now. Because the monkeys annoyed the people very much, to watch the monkeys, a man brought a pot of alcohol that included fermented rice but he was sleeping. Because the man fell asleep, the monkey ate the fermented rice and they also saw the man, they thought that the man was a dead man. So, after they ate the fermented rice, they carried the man. The monkeys carried the man to the edge of the farm and then carried him into the forest and on the trees. At that time, the man thought to himself that "Where these monkeys are carrying me? Let me see." The man opened his eye a little bit and looked around. When he looked around, he was carried on the trees, which were located in a very deep dale. But, the man just talked to himself quietly that "Please just carry me slowly." He just talked in his mind. The man just continued to pretend to be dead and just followed the monkeys and was thinking that where they would bring him. Then, the man was brought into a cave where the monkeys kept other things. Then, the man immediately yelled 'YELLLLL!'. At that time, the monkeys said that "Oh.... the man is alive back," and they all ran away. After all the monkeys ran away, the man who pretended to be dead took all the things including gold and money that were collected by the monkeys, and returned home. Although he was very poor before, now he was very rich. So, he also did not need to do highland cultivation anymore and was staying so. In the villager, there was also another man. He was thinking to himself that "These days, I don't see this man going to the farm. Let me check what he is doing and where he is going." And, the second man found that the first man was rich now. So, he decided to ask why the first man got rich that "Friend, you don't do anything these days. How did you become a rich person?" The first man then answered that "When I was sleeping in my farm hut, the monkeys brought me and I just followed them by pretending as a dead man. When they got to a very deep dale, I opened my eyes a little bit and looked and said quietly to carry me slowly. After I followed them, I was brought into their cave and got their the things that they collected." So, the second man also said that "I will also try," and went to the farm and was sleeping there. One day, when the second man was sleeping, the monkeys came and carried him as they did the first man. The second man also pretended to be dead and followed them. When the monkeys were carrying the man in a very deep dale, the man sneak peeked around. Because it was a very deep dale and the man got very afraid, he talked quietly, "Carry me slowly" but it was the voice out as he was very afraid of. Then, the monkeys said that "Oh... the man is alive back," and suddenly ran away. So, the was fall to death there. The story is ended here.
