Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
This story is about a rich woman's regret. Once upon a time, there was a wealthy woman in a village. She didn't have any children. She lived alone. One day, she went to the market. On the way to the market, she saw one of her relatives from afar. She pretended she didn't see that child. She didn't also talk to her relatives. She thought to herself, "If I talk to her, she might ask me for help. I don't want to help them." Then she took another path to the market, avoiding the one where her relative was. She always behaved like that. She didn't talk to her neighbors or relatives, even though they lived right next to each other. She lived alone in her home with her two domestic helpers. She hired two girls to help with the household chores. One day, she fell sick. She had to stay in bed because of her illness. She said to those two girls, "I don't need to ask my relatives for help, even though I am this sick. Don't tell them about me, either. Even if they ask you about me, just tell them I am not home." She told them not to let her relatives know about her. She said, "I don't need anyone to help me. I have lots of money." She showed them her money. Then the two girls stayed quiet and didn't tell anything to the relatives or neighbors. When the relatives came to her house, the two girls said, "She is not at home." The wealthy woman didn't talk with anyone and stayed like that. One day, she became very ill and lost consciousness. The two helpers took all her money and ran away. They took her money and ran away. When she regained her consciousness, all her money was gone. She was shocked when she found out that they had stolen all her money. Then she fainted again. At that time, her neighbors, friends, and relatives came to her and took care of her. Soon, she regained consciousness. Then she regretted her actions. She said, "I can ask my friends, neighbors, and relatives for help whenever I need it. You are the ones who help me." She felt regret. Then she gave some of her money to her relatives and lived happily.
