Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Once upon a time, there was a royal family. While the king was alive, he made a promise to a king from another country. They said, "Let's our daughter and son marry when they become adults." One day, the king passed away. The prince and the princess became adults. The queen was getting older and older. Then she got sick. The king, who had made a promise to the late king, told the queen to send the princess to their country. The queen said to her daughter, "My daughter, I can't follow you. Take your handmaiden with you and go there." As she could not accompany her daughter, She gave her daughter a scarf on which she had dropped her tears three times. She gave it to her. The horse that the princess rode could speak. It could communicate with humans using human language. The princess rode it and set forth her journey. When she was halfway to her destination, she became thirsty. She used a gold cup to drink water. She used the gold cup to drink water. She told her handmaiden, "I am thirsty. Go get some water." The maid said, "Go get it by yourself!" She responded with disrespect. The princess got the water by herself and drank it. And they continued their journey. When they arrived at another mountain bend, the princess became thirsty again. "I am thirsty. Go fetch some water for me," she said to her maid. The maid disrespectfully replied, "Go get it by yourself." When the princess went to drink water, the scarf fell in and floated away. The maid saw everything and thought to herself, "That's good. The scarf is protecting her. Now, since the scarf is gone, I don't need to take care of her anymore. I will do what I want." She got on the horse that the princess rode. When the princess came back, the maid told her, "Only two of us are here. You must listen to me! I will ride your horse. Take off your clothes too. I will wear them." She said to the princess like that. The princess took off her clothes and gave the maid to wear them. The maid wore those clothes. After that, they continued their journey. Later, they arrived at the palace. The king asked the maid who was pretending to be the princess, "Who is she? Who is that girl accompanying you?" She answered, "Oh, she is a beggar. I feel pity for her, so I brought her with me. Maybe, she can get a job here." The king said, "Alright. Let her raise the ducks and take care of them. She can take care of them. Let her do it." She said, "That's good." They had not married yet, although the princess was already in that country. Then the maid thought to herself, "This horse can speak a human language. I should kill it too." Then she told the king, "My king, I窶况e been in trouble all the way here because of this horse. It causes me so much trouble, one thing after another. I don't even want to look at it. Kill it." The king ordered his servants, saying, "Behead this horse at once." The servants killed it at once. They took its head and were about to throw it. At that time, the real princess saw them and asked, "Can you please hang its head at the gate of the place where the ducks are raised? I will give you two visses of gold." They said, "Okay. We can do it." They hung the horse's head at the gate. She really gave them two visses of gold. One day, the real princess and the man who took care of the ducks were tending to them. She wore large hats while tending to the ducks. The man was wearing one as well. They were wearing really large hats and went to take care of the ducks. When they arrived at the gate, she murmured, "The horse, you are the only one who can save me. But you died." At that moment, the horse's head spoke to her, "If your mother, the queen, finds out about this, she will be very upset." The horse talked to her like that. In fact, the maid threatened the princess, "If you tell anyone about our story, you will be dead." The princess couldn't tell the truth to anyone. When the princess murmured to herself, the horse responded. The horse always protected her when it was alive. Then, the princess continued her work. Somewhere, she thought to comb her hair, so she took off her hat. Her hair shimmered like gold in the sunlight. It was so beautiful. Then the man who was tending the ducks saw her and thought to himself, "Let me touch that shining hair." Then he approached the princess. At that time, the princess said, "May a strong wind blow." Suddenly, a strong wind blew and blew off the man's hat. The hat was being blown away. While he was catching it, the princess quickly combed her hair. And she wore her hat again. He couldn't touch the princess's hair that day. Two days later, they were once again tending to the ducks in the forest. While the princess was combing her hair, the man wanted to touch her hair, so he tried. At that moment, the princess said, "May the strong wind blow." His hat was blown again, and he was struggling to catch it. Soon, the princess finished combing her hair. The man was very unsatisfied, so he went to the king and said, "There is a lady who always tends to the ducks with me. She is so special, with hair that shines like gold. Her hair is so beautiful. When I tried to touch it, the strong wind blew. The wind blew my hat away. After I picked up my hat and went back there, she had already finished combing her hair. I tried twice, but faced the same situation both times." The king said, "Escort the lady to the palace. I wish to meet her." The king said that. Then, the lady was called to the palace. "Why are you so special? You are the princess, aren't you? When I look at your appearance, you look like you have never worked before. You don't look like a maid." She said, "I can't say anything to you, my king. I have made a promise. If I tell someone about myself, I will die. I can't tell you." The king said, "If you can't tell a living person about yourself, there is a post in my palace. Say anything you want to that post. It窶冱 not a living thing, so you can tell it about yourself." One day, the princess went to that post and said, "I can't tell anyone about it. My mother will be upset if she finds out. She could even die from a broken heart, so I don't want to tell anyone about myself." She told the post about herself. Actually, the king was listening to her while hiding behind the post. The king knew everything after listening to her. And he called the maid, who pretended to be the princess and prepared to marry his son, and said to her, "You are such a liar!" He ordered his servants to escort the real princess to the palace. He gave her the royal attire to wear. The lady transformed into a beautiful princess as before. The king said, "She is the real princess." At that time, the maid was shocked. The king said, "You lie to me! You deceive all of us! You deserve to die! Kill her." The king's servants killed the maid. In the end, the king arranged a grand wedding for the prince and the princess. And they lived happily with the princess's mother, the queen.
