Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Once upon a time, there were two brothers in a village. They were married. The elder brother was deaf, but his wife was not. And the younger brother was a hunter. The elder brother also knew how to catch jungle fowls, birds very well. And he always shared the meat to his younger brother. But the younger brother didn't share any meat to him when he got a meal like deer. He just ate that meat happily with his friends. He didn't even remember his brother when he hung out with his friends. One early morning, he went to the forest to hunt some birds. He saw something, then he shot it. As soon as he shot, he heard 'Ouch! Oh My God!' He shot a person by mistaking him for an animal. He thought, "I can't tell about this to anyone." Then, he quickly went back to his elder brother. His elder brother asked him, "Why are you exhausted? What happened?" He said, "My brother, I have mistakenly shot a person today. That's why I came to you to tell you about this." The elder brother said, "Then, let's not get known by the villagers. Bring your hoe. Let's bury that person secretly." When they went there, they saw that there was just an animal lying on the ground. "My little brother, God has deceived your sight. God warns you because you didn't share any meat to me before. Whenever you got the meat like deer, you ate it only with your friends. And this is the meat that we two could share, not the meat we have to bury. Let's show our love to each other from now on. Let's share everything we have," said the elder brother. He said, "My elder brother, I was wrong. Forgive me, please. I didn't share any meat to you before. But now, I will share whatever I get. Let's live happily from today." Since that day, the younger brother who didn't usually share what he got to his brother became a person who knew to share what he got and show his love. In the end, they lived happily together forever. This is the end of the story which is about the hunter younger brother and the deaf elder brother.
