Translation (Lydia Seng)
Long ago, there was a man and a woman and they fell in love and got married. They had one child who could not talk. The parents were so upset because of their muted child. While he was growing up, the parents sent him to school and asked the teacher to look after his child. The parents told the teacher, "Until my son grows up and has a good education, you don't contact us." The teacher loved him so much even though he could not speak, and also, he was so active, and he could do things very well by watching. In that academic years, the teacher announced in front of all the students that the boy got first place. Before the farewell, they had an art competition. All students arrived the classroom for the contest. However, the boy was missing. He didn't show up at school on time. Everybody was waiting for him. Although they waited a long time, the boy never showed up. "How come he's late this time? He always came early." Finally, the teacher himself went looking for him. Then he found him seated and looking down upon the deep and narrow valleys of the mountain. While he was looking at the scenery, the teacher called him, "Let's go, all your friends have arrived for the competition, except you." Then the boy took his bag and followed him immediately. He arrived at the place whereas his friends were already arriving and waiting for him. He was bullied and mistreated by his friends at other times. He said nothing because he couldn't talk. He never retaliated against his friend. He never did the things that his friend disliked. He did things by watching, he didn't talk about anything in school. On art competition day, he drew a beautiful picture. The picture looked really nice place. He submitted his picture along with his friends. After checking all the papers, his paper was the best drawing amongst her friends. He got the first position. So, his teacher contacted his parents. And he told his parents, "Come to school that your boy got first in the art contest." Then the parents dressed nicely and arrived at the school in a car. In that academic year, his parents were supposed to come and fetch the boy to their hometown. His parents came in a beautiful dress. The boy was glad to see his mother and father. The boy was very happy in that time. And immediately his mouth opened and said, 'Mom and Dad, are you coming to see me?" He started talking. The parents were planning on bringing their son home. But the boy was unwilling to follow his parents because he loved his teacher incredibly. He ran behind his teacher. He lacked the love of his parents. He knew and felt loved by his teacher. His parents called, "Please come, my son. We are your parents." The boy looked at his teacher along with his parents. Eventually, he looked at his teacher and immediately ran towards his teacher. His teacher was amazed. He hugged the boy and tossed him, persuaded by sweet words. The teacher told the boy, "These are your parents, you were born of them, and don't make them sad." "Follow your parents, we shall meet again and again". The teacher tried to coax the boy. After a long wait, eventually the boy followed his parents. The end.
