Translation (Gun Mai)
I will tell you about Father and Son and Paddy Seed. Once upon a time in a village, there were a widower and a son. The main livelihood activity of the villagers of the village where the widower and son were living, was paddy fields. One night, the father said to his son that "Son, let's go and see the paddy field tomorrow". The son also said that "Yes, father, let's go". Then, they went to the paddy field the next day. The father and son walked together to go and see the grain in the paddy field. When they reached the paddy field, the father and son were checking and walking around in their paddy field. And, they saw the paddy plants. At that time, when the father was just looking at the seeds of the paddy, the son asked a question to his father. "Father, some paddy plants are bending down and some are straight. Why that happens?" Then, the father explained to his son that "Son, the paddies that are bending down are the paddies with the good seeds." "The straight paddies mean they don't have the good seeds." So, the son was quite confused. So, the son said that "Father, I am really amazed that the paddies happen like this. Let me think well about this." The father also said that "Yes, son. Think about it". Then, they returned home from the paddy field. One day, they went again to the paddy field and checked their paddy field. At that time, the father took two bending down paddy plants and two straight plants and showed his son to compare between them. The father said, "Let me tell you, son. Look this straight paddy plant. This plant is straight. It thinks itself that it is selfish and arrogate but it is nothing useful". So, the son was thinking himself and amazed about what his father explained to him. Then, he asked his father about the bending down paddy plant. So, the father gave the bending down paddy plant to his son and said "Look this paddy plant, my son. It humbles itself therefore it is bending down. And, open its seed, son". So, the son opened the seed and he saw the good seed inside. So, he distinguished about the paddy with good seed. From that day, the son was so happy because he could distinguish the paddy between a good seed and a bad seed. When the time was getting dark, the father and son started walking to return home. On the way to their home, the son said "Father, I am very happy today because I have learned clearly everything that I want to know. I can distinguish well between the paddy with good seed and bad seed. After they talked to each other, the father and son returned happily to their home because the son could distinguish the paddy between good seed and bad seed. The story is ended here.
