Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Once upon a time, there was a king in a country. The king had to solve every matter and was busy all the time. He was so stressed that he couldn't sleep at night. He was always looking outside through his window while sitting on his bed. One night, he saw a bird singing pleasantly through his window. When he heard the bird's sound, he felt something in his heart. He found it really pleasant. He called his servants and said to them, "That bird's sound is really ear-pleasing. Catch that bird and bring it to me." He ordered his servants to catch it. The next day, the servants searched for it and heard its sound from somewhere far. They approached it quietly, but it flew away as soon as it saw them. It flew into the forest. It was sitting on a branch, while the servants found it again. They said, "The little bird, our king is fond of your sound. Come with us to the palace." The bird refused, "I don't want to go there. If I go there with you, you will trap me inside the cage. I won't get to eat what I want too." They said, "No. Our king is happy when he hears your sound. You will have to live freely in his palace." It said, "Okay. Then I will go with you." The bird went to the palace accompanied by the servants. When it arrived at the palace, the king put it in the cage. It had to sing for the king. When the king told it to sing, it needed to sing pleasantly for the king. He made it sing every day and felt happy. One day, a friend of the king sent him a machine bird as a gift. It was just a machine, but similar to the real bird. When the king saw the machine bird, he wound up the winding key on its back. Surprisingly, the toy bird danced and sang when the winding key was turned. The king made the toy bird sing and dance for him. And he made the real bird sing for him. He was so happy with those two birds. The king became fonder of the toy bird because it could do both singing and dancing. When the king made only the toy bird sing and dance for him, the real bird felt, "The king is losing his affection to me." Then it told the king, "My king, can you please open the cage for a while? I won't fly away." It lied to the king. The king didn't doubt it and opened the cage since it lived in the palace for a long time. As soon as he opened the cage, the bird flew away. Two or three days later, the toy bird was broken too. It was broken. The king lost both his birds. He lost his birds that would sing and dance for him. He was so upset about it. He was attached to the birds. He was depressed because he lost both his birds. Soon, he felt sick. Time had passed. A year had already passed. The king was so depressed that he didn't even speak anymore. He just stayed in his bed. He got a mental breakdown. No matter how hard the medicos tried to cure him, his condition was still bad. One day, the bird flew past the palace while singing. When the king heard the sound, he quickly got out of his bed and sat down on the chair. He told his servants, "That bird is like my bird. It sings very well." His servants checked the bird from a distance and said, "That is your bird, my king." He ordered them, "Bring it to me." Then the servants searched for the bird and said, "When the king hears your sound, he suddenly got out of bed and felt good. If you are together with our king, he will be so happy. His condition will also be better." They took it to the palace. Later, the king's condition became a lot better and could rule the country happily.
