Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
In the past, there were no wicked or mean people. They lived happily together. They were not arrogant. People always treated each other well and shared what they had. The king saw that his citizens were happy, so he also ruled the country happily and peacefully. One day, the king said, "I live here peacefully and happily. But what about the lives of animals in the forest?" He wanted to check them. His servants said, "Sure thing, my king. Let's go there." Then they went into the forest. On the first day, they didn't encounter any serious issues; they only noticed that the animals were living there happily. Then they went back. After a week, they went into the forest again. They discovered several birds lying unconscious beneath the tree. The birds looked as if they were dead or unconscious. The king felt upset to see them. The king said, "What happened to the birds? Let's take them to the palace." They took the birds and put them in the cage. The king called the physician and said, "Look at these birds. Treat them. What's happening to them?" The physician said, "They ate something that made them dizzy, so they are unconscious. They are not dead. They didn't eat something that made them die." He treated them to stop the dizziness and then set them free. After releasing the birds, they investigated what had caused them to be like that. One day, the birds were drinking water. After drinking the water, they collapsed to the ground. The king and his servants wondered why that was happening. Then the king told his servants, "Go try it. What might it be?" After drinking it, they felt dizzy and started mumbling. The king thought, "Something is happening here," and they went back. The king's servants secretly took some of the water because they thought, "It tastes really good. When we drink it, we feel happy and talk cheerfully." They secretly took some and drank it in the palace. One day, they went back to search for the source of how this happened. While they were watching the area, the birds arrived carrying some leaves. They dropped the leaves into the small lake beneath the tree. After two or three days, they drank the water. The servants witnessed everything and reported it to the king. Then they picked every leaf from that tree. When they returned to the palace, they did exactly as the birds had done and drank the water. Then they became dizzy. Some were high, some were crying and some were dizzy. Ever since alcohol was created, the whole country became addicted. The situation in the country worsened, and people became unhappy.
