Translation (Htoi Awng)
Firstly, I would like to tell you the story about a child. There were a mother and a son in a village. The son always wheedled and gave troubles to his mother. Every evening, he wheedled his mother to give him something. One evening, the mother cooked meal and nicely called her son to have dinner. But he tried to wheedle her again. He said that he wanted to have papaya. But there weren't any papayas in their house. So, she said, "My son, we don't have any papayas. Let's just eat the curry that I cooked!" But her son kept saying that he wanted to eat only papaya. Then, he got angry on his mother and went out somewhere. He didn't come back home although it was getting dark. She worried about her son. Then, she thought to do something for her son. At night, she covered herself by putting a blanket on her and went to the neighbour's house to steal papayas. While she was picking the papayas secretly, the sound of dropping the papayas was leaked out loudly. The neighbour heard that sound and shouted, "Thief! Thief! There is a thief!" And then, all the villagers quickly came out and beat the thief. Among the villagers who beat the thief, there was her son too. Because of the beatings, the mother was dead by carrying the papaya in her arms. Then, they removed the blanket on the thief. Shockingly, they found out that the thief was the mother of that boy. The son bawled so much by hugging his mother. Since then, he regretted about his past actions to his mother. The first story is ended here.
