Translation (Htoi San)
Once upon a time, there was a man who grew mustard. He wanted to grow mustard regularly. So, he planted mustard every year. Then, he cleaned weeds on his farm to grow mustard. No matter how hard he cleaned the grass, there was still a lot left. He felt exhausted and depressed, so he just sat down. It was getting dark, but he still needed to clean a lot. So, he was depressed. At that time, a man with a red face came to him. He asked him, "Why do you look so depressed?" He answered, "I have been cleaning my farm the whole day because I want to grow mustard. There is still a lot of grass and weed although I cut a lot. So, I am depressed and sitting down here." The man told him, "Do you need my help?" He asked the man, "How can you help me?" The stranger said, "If you give me your permission to help you, I can." Then he said, "Okay. Help me please." He treated the stranger to delicious food. The next morning, the stranger told him, "Look at me carefully. However, stay a bit away from me." Then, he waved his hands over the farm. Surprisingly, the farm was burnt. The whole farm was burnt down, and the weed became ash. Then, the farm owner was happy. He grew different kinds of vegetables there. And he told the man with a red face, "Thank you very much." The man said, "I am more thankful because you fed me tasty food." Then, he retraced his steps. After a few months, the farm owner met the stranger with a red face. When he met him, he noticed that the man got slimmer than before. So he asked him, "You were plump when we met last time. How did you get thin? What happened?" The man said, "It's because I didn't eat enough food." The farm owner said, "Don't worry then. Let's go to my house. I will feed you lots of food. I will feed you delicious food too." Then, the man with a red face was happy. And he followed him. When they first met, the man with a red face introduced his name. He said, "My name is fire." The farm owner took the man with a red face to his house. They lived happily in the same shelter. Therefore, there is fire where there is a human.
