Translation (Htoi San)
I am telling a story about two friends: a proud skillful martial artist and a man who could speak well and lived his life speaking. One friend played martial arts for a living, and another was a talented speaker for his career. They both got along well at first. They did not face any problems between them. They helped and supported each other. However, they both were more talented in their skills, and they became prouder and prouder day by day. So they separated themselves. The man who was well in martial arts played as he knew, and the other man who was a good speaker also worked on his speaking so that they were apart. They did not get along, so they broke up and walked on their own for their livelihood. One day, the martial artist danced in the market with his skills to earn money. At first, he danced using his knife; afterward, he showed a cat movement dance to get money. Among the audience, ten jealous people watched his dance and mocked him. So he was so angry and fought them back alone. However, the ten people fought him together; thus, he was seriously hurt. He got bruises from the fight, and he faced troubles. He thought, "Ten people beat me, and I lost the fight. If there were my friend, I would not be bullied by them." "As I walked alone, people were provoked and looked down on me. Now I am in trouble." He felt sorry and repented. The same thing happened to another man. He could talk well, so he went to get some income using his talking skills. One day, when he reached a village, he started talking. Many people responded with many things, so he could not talk them back and lost the talk. Those people spat on him and said, "Like you. You said you could talk well. Now, look at you!" They insulted him, and he faced it alone. He encountered this problem unexpectedly. Thus he felt so sorrowful and regretful, "Oh If my friend who knows martial arts were with me at this moment, people couldn't bully me. I have a friend who can protect me and help me. I separated from him and walked alone today." "So I faced people mocking, spitting, and deriding. Thus I should not be alone, so that I will look for my friend from today." The martial artist searched for his friend, and the excellent speaker also searched for him. Then they found each other. They apologized to each other, "I am sorry that I was wrong. We did not get along together and apart from each other like this, so we suffered the loss." "Therefore, from today onwards, let's get along like before without fighting and live with the same mind." However, they had a conflict again and fought against each other. This time, they had to go to the head of the village. They told their problem to the village headman, who said, "Your problem is not a problem. It is because you both think that you know well and you are the perfect one. That's why the quarrel started." "Actually, you both don't need to quarrel like this. If you have the same mind and opinion, you can scoop out the seawater, haven't you heard that? Thus you both leave all the fights behind and stay together with humbleness." "You can scoop out all the water from the sea as you are united. Therefore, you can make things happen if you have unity." "Hence, from today onwards, don't quarrel with each other and have the same opinion. So that you can make things happen." Since the village head taught them to live peacefully together, they became beneficial people to their village. The martial artist protected the village with his martial art skills. He was a shield for his village from the enemy of different fighting. The excellent speaker became one of the leaders in the village as he knew languages and how to talk, and he had intelligence and education. Except for the ruled king from their village, they were both so popular and influential that people listened to them whatever they said. Due to their unity, their village developed a lot more than the other villages. Therefore, people can do things successfully if they have unity. Our grandparents told us about this story.
