Translation (Gun Mai)
Long long ago, there was a king who had three wives. Among the three wives, the first two wives had each daughter. And, the last wife was in pregnancy. The king was to travel to the other country to discuss trade between the two countries and it could last for two to three months. So, he talked with his wives. "With your willingness, plan to offer me something that is very beautiful when I return home. Try to be able to offer me when I back," said the king. And, he asked the first wife that "What will you offer me?" "I will make a king robe for you. I will sew a very good king robe," the first wife said. Then, the second wife said that "I will offer you, the king a sword that is very powerful and very sharp, which the kings used to carry." After that, the third wife was pregnant and promised that "I will give birth for you a boy who is covered with the gold in front and is wrapped with the gold in the back on the night you back." The king noted well the promises of his wives that the first wife would sew a king robe for him, the second wife was a powerful sword that the kings used to carry, the third wife was to give birth a boy who was covered with the gold on the chest and was wrapped with silver on the back. And, the king went on his journey. When the king was travelling for three to four months, the first wife was, to be able to offer her husband when he backed sewing the king robe the whole day and night. The second wife was asking again and again in a blacksmith workshop to make a very good sword. The third wife was just praying to have a baby who was covered with the gold and was wrapped with silver. She just kept praying. Then, the king backed. The first wife was able to sew and offer a very good king robe. The second wife could also give well a sword. The third wife gave birth on the night that the king backed. But, the king did not enter the wife who gave birth. The first two wives entered the third wife who got a baby. As the third wife said, the born baby was covered with gold on the chest and was covered with silver on the back. "Oh, mine....this is better than us. The king will make more priority to this woman. Also a boy. It is not good. It is not good," said the first two wives. So, they wrapped the baby with the cloth that was used to carry the baby on the back and then also wrapped the straw. And, put the baby into a straw tent. They hid the baby in the straw tent. Because they hid the bay, the third wife was not able to offer anything to the king. So, the king got angry and said that "You are such a woman!" The baby who was hiding in the straw tent was swallowed immediately by a big cow that was eating food in the straw tent as it seemed that the cow knew it was a baby. The cow swallowed and on the next morning, the king said to the third wife that "Just take the cow and get out from the palace," and drove out the third wife. Because she was driven out, the third wife just dragged the cow that swallowed the baby and went to the edge of the village. She built a house on the edge of the village and stayed together with the cow. One morning, the cow sounded 'Wowk' and vomited in front of her and her baby came out. When she looked at the baby, the baby was covered with gold on the chest, and was wrapped with the silver on the back so it was her baby. "This was the baby who I planned to offer the king," the third wife said. She took care of and fed well the baby. The baby had been growing and the boy was very mature, smart, and active. Since he was the king's son, he had the skills and abilities that the king's sons used to be good at. When the boy got older, "You are the son of the king. You have to go to the palace. When you go to the palace, don't remove your cloth. Cover well your body. Don't remove it. Only remove your cloth when you get in front of the king. Make sure not to remove your cloth in front of the women and the servants who are living in the palace," the third wife told her son. After he was told, the king's son also went boldly. When he got to the palace, "Hey boy, where will you go," a person asked. "I want to meet with the king," the boy said. "How you such a boy wants to meet with the king," the person scolded and drove out the boy. So, the boy turned and met with another person. The boy said again, "I want to meet with the king." The whole day, he was not allowed to meet with the king. The king who was sitting inside the palace heard about the boy who wanted to meet him. The king said that "Who is the one who wants to meet with the king?" The boy said boldly that "I am." When the boy said that he was, "Come into me," the king said. When the boy got near the king, "What do you want to tell me?" the king asked. Then, the boy remove his cloth and showed the king. "I am your son. I was the baby who got along with the cow when you drove out. I am your real son," said the boy. When the king looked at the boy, he remembered. "Aw.... my third wife said that she would offer me a baby who was covered with the gold in front and was wrapped with silver on the back. That is this boy. How did happen? Call your mother. Bring your mother," " the king said. The king asked his third wife that "Why did you happen to like this?" "When I got this baby, the first two wives took away the baby from me and did not know where they hid. The cow swallowed and the cow gave back to me. That's why I can come here to you. This is your real son. It is to show you," answered the third wife. Thus, the king immediately drove out the first two wives. They were driven out from the palace and since the boy was the king's son, he was brave, skillful so he became a person who really could rule the palace of the father, king, and the mother. On that day, he was assigned the throne. His mother was also brought to the palace and lived in the palace. The mother and son lived happily.
