Translation (Gun Mai)
A long time ago, there was a governor. He was very rich and there were many male and female servants at his house. Moreover, he also called and let stay six girls who were about 15, 16, 17, and 18 years old. He called the girls to abuse them as much as he wanted. But, he could not abuse the youngest and the most beautiful girl. Because he could not abuse the girl, he threatened the girl to beat and hit. But, the girl was not interested in the house owner. At that house, there was also an orphaned boy who was very poor and watched cattle as a hireling. The girl and the boy met and after they became friends for years, they were interested in each other and fell in love. After a couple of years, the house owner knew about them so he got very angry. He got very angry and tried to do something to them but the boy and the girl were smarter than him so whenever they just moved ahead of the house owner. Thus, the rich man said to himself that "As long as the boy is staying here, it is not good for me. I will tell him to leave," and he beat the boy and told him to leave. Since the boy was an orphan, he had no place to stay. So, the boy went to the forest and continued to survive by hunting, fishing alone, and slept in caves and under the trees. When the boy was living like that, one day, a big tiger was catching a barking deer. The barking deer got very tired and was running, and the tiger was almost caught and bit the barking deer. When the boy saw them, he immediately followed them, and all three, the boy, the tiger, and the barking deer were running. Finally, the boy shot to death the tiger. After the boy shot and killed the tiger, the barking deer went to the mountain but the barking deer turned around and looked at the boy again and again. The boy saw that the barking deer turned around and looked at him again and again and went to the mountain. And so, when the boy was living alone by hunting and fishing, one day, the girls who lived at the rich man's house came to the plateau where the orphaned boy lived to collect the firewood. At that time, the girl who loved very much with the boy made a sound, which called Nchyun chyun and entertainment in the past. The boy heard the Nchyun chyun sound of the girl from very far. The boy said to himself that "Such a nice and beautiful sound. Who is the person who can do such Nchyun chyun. Can't wait to see and know the girl!" and he went. So, the boy met the girl again. The girl then said to the boy that "I don't want to return the rich man's house anymore. I will just live with you. I will follow you." "I also miss you very much," said the boy. So, from that day, they married and went to a higher plateau. Then, they lived in a house-like tree hollow of a very big tree, which was about 900 years old. They lived there by finding food and eat. They said that "Other people also do farm for livelihood. We also should do farming." So, they moved to the place next to the big road that people travel. They made a dryland farm and lived there. When they were doing farm, the rich man went to his Mayu, parents-in-law's house because he hadn't been there for quite a while. The rich man passed the couple's farm and saw that the boy and the girl who had lived in his house were living together at the farm. Thus, he got very angry and asked his men to arrest the boy. Then, the boy also took out his sword and fought with the rich man's men but he was arrested finally because the rich man's men were many. The boy was tied in a trunk with a ten-feet long rope and was beaten. When the boy was fighting with the men, his wife fearlessly ran into the rich man to apologize but the rich man killed the girl as he was unhappy because he was also not able to abuse her when she was at his house. After he killed the girl, they continued their journey. At that time, the barking deer was hiding in the forest and suddenly came out and kicked the leg of the rich man. The barking deer came out and kicked. Then, the barking deer ran and passed them and then but ran slowly so it seemed the men almost caught the barking deer. Then, the rich man said that "This barking deer also wants to die. Let's kill and chop and make curry. Let's try to catch." And, when they ran to catch the barking deer, a man who followed lastly shot the gun and it was hit accidentally to the rich man and dead. Because their leader, the rich man was dead, they also did not continue their journey. They carried the dead body of the rich man and returned home. After they left, the orphaned boy was fastened in the truck and his wife was dead. The barking deer saw it and he climbed to the mountain to take natural organic medicine. The barking deer brought back two types of natural medicines; a type to chew and a type to cover on the dead body of the boy's wife. When the barking deer covered the medicine leaves on the girl, the wounds on the neck of the girl were healed immediately. Then, the barking deer put the medicine that chewed inside his mouth into the mouth of the girl, and the girl started to breathe again. So, the girl was alive back. The boy was also very weak and even almost died. So, the barking deer went back to the mountain and brought back the natural medicines. And, the barking deer put the medicine leaves on the body of the boy and also put the medicine that he chewed inside his mount into the boy's mouth. As soon as the boy drunk the medicine, he was recovered well. And, the girl untied the rope that was tied the boy. Then, they lived happily together and got many children. It was the barking deer repay the gratitute of the boy because he was saved from the tiger by the boy.
