Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Now I am going to talk about two men who had jealousy. Once in a village, there were two brothers. The eldest brother, Ma Gam, was poor. His family was penniless. His wife died during the labor. When he buried his wife, he cried, "My love, I don't know what to do now. I am so lonely without you. I don't want to do anything. I am helpless, my love. Just tell me what I should do." At that time, he heard a sound from the tomb. He heard the voice saying 'Okay'. Then he just went back home. The next morning when he woke up, he saw a bean plant. Then he just assumed, "Maybe my wife gave me this plant because I told her to do something for me yesterday." He planted it carefully. One week later, the plant had grown bigger, and there were many beans growing there. He picked them up and thought to give half of them to the chief since the smell was nice. He ate another half of them. Then he put the beans into a bamboo pot and decided to give them to the chief. It was a wife selection day on that day too. Then he went to the chief and said, "My lord, these are the beans which have a really nice smell. I went to my wife's tomb and asked her to give me something. Then she gave me these beans. I am sharing with you because they are delicious." The chief didn't believe him and opened the pot. Then the nice smell hit him. He tasted the beans, and they were very delicious. Ma Gam asked him, "Is it tasty? I will share with you some tasty curries too." The chief told him, "Don't you want a lady for yourself? Choose one." Ma Gam said, "I don't have a wife now. Maybe I should choose a wife for myself." Then he ate lots of delicious food at the ceremony and was looking at the ladies. In the end, he saw a beautiful lady and married her. The chief gave him half of his compound too. Ma Gam remarried and lived happily with his new wife. Ma Naw was jealous of him and asked, "My brother, how could you become rich?" Ma Gam explained, "My late wife gave me some beans. I cooked them and gave some to the chief. Then the chief awarded me. I got rich like that." Ma Naw was jealous of his elder brother and did exactly as his brother. But he ate all the good beans and cooked the bad beans. And he put the curry into the bamboo pot and covered it with a banana leaf. And he took it to the chief. He said, "My lord, this is the bean curry. Please, have a taste. The smell is really nice." When he opened the pot, the smell was completely bad. The chief said, "Sleep at my house tonight, will you?" Ma Naw replied, "Yes." The chief said, "I will treat you some chickens tomorrow." It was a wife selection day for men the next day too. At night, the chief ordered his servants, "Sew Ma Naw's anal!" The next morning, Ma Naw didn't notice anything and enjoyed his food. Soon he told the chief, "I don't need anything. I can't eat anymore too. I will just go back home. I really need to poop." Then he quickly ran back home. He went into the toilet, but he couldn't poop because the chief's servants sewed his anal. He asked his wife to help him. Then his wife tried to cut the thread with a knife. However, he couldn't hold it anymore. Then his wife just cut his anal, and lots of waste was pouring. In the end, his belly exploded too. The wife was shocked and fainted. Ma Naw was dead, unfortunately.
