A long time ago, there were a father and his daughter. When the father and his daughter were staying, the king was visiting the country. There was a water pot in front of the house of the father and his daughter. The king took a rest in front of their house and drunk a cup of water from the water pot. After the king drunk water, he also took a rest. At that time, the man saw the king. "Where are you from," the man asked. "I am the king of the country," answered the king. When the man knew that the person was the king, the man told that he had a daughter. The man also said that his daughter could produce gold silks when she wove. So, the king was interested immediately. The king said that "If so, send your daughter to me. Send to my palace. I will make her my wife, the queen." "Will you love my daughter," asked the man. The king replied that "Yes, I will love her." Because the king was greedy, he immediately wanted the girl as her father said that her daughter was able to produce the gold silk. Thus, he said that "So, I will take her." So, the man said to his daughter that "Daughter, the king said that he will bring you to the palace tomorrow. He will take you to the palace. I said that you could weave the gold silk." The daughter felt very depressed then. "Father, why did you say so? Because I cannot weave the gold silk and if he knows the fact that I cannot produce gold silk, I will be killed. How will I do then? I cannot follow him," said the daughter. "I already promised him that you will follow him. Thus, you have to follow him. Follow him," the father said. On the next morning, the king brought the girl. When they got to the palace, there was a pile of straw in a room. The king put the girl in the pile of straw. "Girl, you weave this straw to become gold silk," the king said and kept the girl inside the room. The girl was crying. "I can even do nothing but it said me to do gold silk. My father is killing me," the girl said to herself and was just crying. When she was crying, a nat came to her. "Why are you crying?" asked the nat. "The king asked me to weave this straw to become gold silk. But, I can do nothing. Thus, I am very depressed and crying," the girl said. Then, the nat said that "Don't worry. I will help you and I will make these all things happen. You just give me one thing." So, the girl gave the nat a ring. The girl gave a ring to the nat. Then, the nat made straw to gold silk. After three days, the king came and opened the door and he saw that the straw became gold. So, he was very happy. So, the girl was put into a room with a bigger pile of straw. The girl was more unhappy and depressed because he was put in room with the bigger pile of straw. "How I will do this to become gold. I can't do it. It is impossible for me this time," the girl said to herself and cried a lot. When she was crying, the nat who helped her last time came again to her. "Why are you crying?" the nat asked. "The king asked me to weave again this bigger pile of straw to become gold," answered the girl. The nat said that "Don't worry. You just give me one thing. I will make it happens." So, the girl gave the nat a bracelet. After the girl gave the bracelet, the nat made all straw to become gold. So, the girl was very happy. At that time, the king also came again and opened the room. He saw that the bigger pile of straw was gold now. So, he was very happy. Because the king was very happy, for the third time, he asked again the girl to make a bigger pile of straw. The girl also cried again so the nat who helped her last time came again. "Just gave me one thing this time as well," the nat said. The girl said that "I left nothing to give you. I don't have anything now. I have already given you everything that I have." "So, will you give me a promise," the nat said. The girl said that "Yes, I will give you a promise." "If you marry and when you have a baby, will you give me the baby?" the nat asked. "Yes, I will give you," answered the girl. Because of the girl's promise, the nat helped for the girl again. The biggest pile of straw became gold. The nat also did not come again anymore. The king also came again and opened the door, he saw the biggest pile of gold. So, the king said to the girl that "I thank you very much. Thus, I will marry you." Then, the king married the girl. The girl said to the king that "I want to get a promise from you." "What promise?" the king asked. "Give me a promise that you don't ask me again to weave gold silk," said the girl. The king also promised that "The gold is already quite a lot. I don't need it anymore in the future. Yes, I won't ask you to do it again." They married and got a baby. The baby had been growing up. When the baby was about three years old, the nat whom the gril promised came to them. "As you promised me, I am coming to you to take your baby. Thus, give me this baby," said the nat. Then, the king said that "You can ask me all the properties I have. I can give you but not my baby. I can't give you my baby." The nat said that "No, you must give me the baby. When I wove gold silk for the girl, the girl gave me a promise to give her baby. Only we both know the promise. So, I will take the baby." Then, the king said, "No, I won't give you," because the king loved his baby so much. "If so, I will give you seven days. If you can tell my name correctly, I won't take your baby," the nat said. The king thought the whole night. The king thought that what would be the name of the nat. No matter how much he thought, the king could not get it. The nat came one time before seven days. The king told the nat a name but the nat said that it was not correct. The king also told every name that he had but the nat said that it was not correct. The seven days arrived and the nat said that "You have to tell his name correctly by noon. If you can't tell my name correctly by noon, I am going to take your baby." The king was thinking a lot and finally, he was able to tell the nat's name correctly. I forgot the name. The nat's name was in the Burmese language. I forgot it. When the king could tell the nat's name correctly, the nat went under the ground and did not come back anymore because the nat was shied. Since then, the family lived happily.
