The story that I am telling now is about an orphaned boy and many brothers. The many brothers wanted to win the only cow that the orphaned boy had. So, they said to the orphaned boy that "Orphaned boy, let's fight your cow and our cow." The orphaned boy denied but they kept insisting him that "Let's fight." So, finally, the orphaned boy said that "OK, let them fight." They let to fight between the little cow of the orphaned boy and the big cow of the many brothers. Because the cow of the many brothers was very big and strong, the big cow was running after the little cow of the orphaned boy. Because the big cow of the many brothers ran after the little cow of the orphaned boy, the little cow of the orphaned boy was running away from the big cow. Then, the little cow suddenly stopped near a very deep cliff. When the little cow of the orphaned boy stopped, the big cow of the many brothers ran after the little cow aggressively. But, the orphaned boy's little cow immediately moved aside and the big cow of the many brothers fell into the deep cliff and died. The little cow of the orphaned did not die so the many brothers got angry. Because they got angry, they went to the orphaned boy's house and said that "Your such a little cow is still alive and our big cow is dead." So, the house of the orphaned boy was set on fire. The orphaned boy said that "OK, I can do nothing. Let it burn." The orphaned boy made a basket and he put ashes from his burned house into the basket. And, he carried the basket around. At that time, a man who went for trading was returning home and was carrying a basket full of gold and money that he got from trading. The orphaned boy met with the man and said that "Hi friend, you look very tired. Is your basket very heavy?" "Yes, my basket is very heavy," the man said. "So, shall we swap and carry it? I will carry your basket with gold and money. You carry my basket. Let's go together," the orphaned boy said. So, the orphaned boy carried the basket of the man who went to trade and got a lot of gold and money. The man who went for trading carried the basket of the orphaned boy that was very light with ashes from the burned house. The man previously was very slow when he carried his heavy basket with gold and money but he was very fast now with the basket that was very light. When the orphaned boy looked at the man, the owner of the gold and money basket, he was already quite far from him so the orphaned boy turned around. And, the orphaned boy hid and disappeared. The man was waiting in a village but the orphaned boy did not come so the man said that "Where is the boy who is carrying my basket with gold and money?" but he did not see the orphaned boy anymore. Even though he tried to find the orphaned boy, he did not see. When he opened the basket of the orphaned boy, it was ashes. Then, the orphaned boy carried the basket of the trader and returned home. When he opened the basket, he saw a lot of gold and money. So, he said to his grandmother that "Grandmother, go to the many brothers and borrow a weight measurement. Let's measure how many visses is the gold." So, the grandmother went to the many brothers and said that "Many brothers, my grandson asked to borrow the weight measurement." "What to measure?" the many brothers asked. "I don't know. But, my grandson said to borrow the weight measurement," the grandmother said. The many brothers borrowed the weight measurement and said among them that "What these two persons will measure?" There was a small tent after the house was burned. The many brothers went to the tent and secretly looked through a hole in the wall and they saw that the orphaned boy was measuring the gold and counting the money. So, they said that "Wow...How did he get the gold and the money?" And, they asked the orphaned boy that "Orphaned boy, how did you get these gold and money?" "I exchanged with the ashes from my little house that was burned. If it is ash from your big house, you can get much more gold and money," the orphaned boy said. "Are you sure?" the many brothers asked. "Yes, I am sure," the orphaned boy said. So, the many brothers immediately returned home and took out the things from the house and burned their big house. They burned their house and took ashes from the house and carried each bag. Then, they asked a person that "Hi, don't you want to buy ashes?" "Don't talk a stupid thing. Why should we buy the ashes as it is useless? I might buy if it is charcoal," the person answered. They asked another person again that "Hi man, don't you want to buy ashes?" The person answered again that "What a stupid! Why should we buy the ashes? I might buy if it is charcoal to pound the knife." Thus, the many brothers said to each other that "The orphaned boy has lied to us. Let's go home and kill him." So, they made a big basket called Wa Bung basket and put the orphaned boy in the Wa Bung basket. Then, they carried and brought it to a big and deep river. And, they hung the basket with bamboo over the river. Then, they said that "Let's go home to have lunch. After we finish lunch, we will cut the bamboo and let the orphaned boy fall into the river." So, the many brothers hung the orphaned boy and returned home to have lunch. Thus, the orphaned boy was being hung there. At that time, a rich man who drove a buffalo and a cow passed there. The rich man who drove the buffalo and cow was suffering sore eyes. When he looked at the bamboo, he saw that the orphaned boy was hung. So, the rich man asked the orphaned boy that "Hi, what are you doing there?" "Hi Friend, I am suffering from sore eyes so I am hanging here and I feel quite better now," the orphaned boy said. "Really? I am also suffering from sore eyes. If so, let me also hang there," the rich man said. The orphaned boy then said that "OK, please help me to come down first. I will hang you again. If you will be cured if you hang here." So, the rich man helped the orphaned boy to come down from the basket and the orphaned boy hung the rich man in the basket again. Then, the orphaned boy took the buffalo and cow of the rich man and went to the forest to hide the many brothers. When the orphaned boy was hiding, the many brothers finished lunch and said that "Let's go and kill the orphaned boy." And, when they got to the river, they said that "When we tried to kill your cow, our cow was dead. You said that if our big house is burned, we can get a lot of gold but we got nothing. Go to die now." They cut the bamboo to fall the basket into the river and killed the orphaned boy but it was the rich man. Two days later, the orphaned boy returned home with buffalo and cow. So, the many brothers said to the orphaned boy that "We already put you into the river. How did you come back?" The orphaned boy then said that "You, such guys! There are many buffalos and cows in below part of the river and there are also a lot of buffalos and cows in upper part of the river. There is only a little buffalos and cows in the place where you put me." The many brothers said that "Are you sure?" The orphaned boy said, yes. So, the many brothers said that "If so, please also hang us because we also want the buffalo and cow a lot." The orphaned boy said that "I can't hang to all. You can hang each other but I will help to hang the last person." So, the many brothers hung each other throughout the river. The orphaned boy hung the last person. Then, he cut the robe of the many brothers one by one and said that "Go to catch the buffalo and cow." But, the orphaned boy said to the last brother that You are bad guys and bully others. The bad guys who bully others will be terminated. You, the many brothers will be terminated today. How would be possible to catch the cow in the river? You have no knowledge as much as even me alone. I will cut now." The last brother was saying that "No, no, don't do it. Don't do it." But, the orphaned boy released the robe and the last brother fell into the river. Thus, all the many brothers died there. The orphaned boy was set free because he met with the rich man who drove the buffalo and cow and helped him free. The orphaned boy took the buffalo and cow so he became a very rich man and lived happily. The story is ended here. Thank you very much.
