Translation (Gun Mai)
Once upon a time, in the edge of a village, there were an old man and an old woman who were very poor. They were also not able to see well and hear well. They had a very beautiful daughter who was also full of dignity and a decent girl. The girl did laundry for others and brought some rice that was bought with the money she got from laundry , and cooked for her parents. She took care of her parents that her parents did not need anything. She was a very decent girl. When the girl left home, she always used to cover her face. Because he knew that he was very beautiful among other girls. Thus, she was worried about being abused so she just used cover her face to protect her dignity. One day, when she went for laundry, unexpectedly, the prince of the country came to monitor the country along with his accompanies. The prince met the girl and when he looked at the girl, he saw that the appearance of the girl was also very beautiful and the covered face was also very beautiful. The prince immediately returned to the palace and asked his counsellor that "Where is the girl who we met yesterday from? She is whose daughter? Go and investigate for me," asked the counsellor. He asked the counsellor to go so the counsellor went and waited in the place where they met with the girl. At that time, the girl also went for the laundry so the counsellor met with the girl. Then, the counsellor talked well with the girl that "Are you whose daughter? Where are you from?" "I live on the edge of the village. If you want to know, you can follow me," the girl said. When the girl brought the counsellor to her house, the father and mother of the girl were not able to hear well and also with blurred vision, and the tent was also torn. "This is our house," the girl said. "OK, OK! I will come and visit again," said the counsellor and returned the palace. The girl also went to do laundry. About two days later, the counsellor came back and "The prince wants to meet with you. He asks you to come at the base of the pine tree that is located at the top of your village," the counsellor said. "Ahh... the prince wants to meet with me means what he wants to punish me? If not, he wants to give me a job? He might not tell to marry me because they have already seen that I am very poor," the girl said. Since the prince called her, she went there. When she got there, the prince was sitting at the base of the pine tree. The girl also sat there. "Sit here, sit here," said the prince and welcomed her. And he continued that "Can we always meet here and talk to each other? I am interested in you." But, the prince hadn't told yet about he loved her. He hadn't talked about love words but just "I am interested in you." "Let's meet frequently," said the prince, and when he looked at the girl's face then, the girl was truly beautiful. The prince talked to himself that "One day, I will make this girl the queen and will marry her." They talked a little bit to each other and returned home. He asked again the counsellor to call again the girl and when the girl came again, the prince gave her a ring but the girl did not want to accept it. But, the prince said that "I don't consider anything for you. I just giving this ring as friends relationship please accept it. Put on your finger," and he put the ring on her finger. The girl also accepted it and she was wearing the ring. Once again, when they were meeting and talking, "I am going to marry you definitely. I will make you the queen. Please accept my proposal. I am requesting your answer," the prince said. "Let me think. Let me think a bit," the girl said and waited for two more days. The prince said that "Don't think anymore. Now, I will really marry you." When the prince was talking to marry the girl, a girl who was from a palace who used to gossip a lot heard what the prince and the girl were talking about. She heard about that and told the king. The girl who used to gossip a lot said that "The prince used to meet with a very poor girl and he said that he is going to marry her." Then, "Ahh...I am thinking him to marry a princess, a daughter of a king. Such a poor girl," the king angrily said. The king got angry and asked his counsellors without his son knowing that "Go and burn the house totally of the girl. Burn the house." The counsellors went and burnt the house. The father and mother of the girl were not able to run out from the house because they could not see and hear well. The girl could manage to run out of the house. She ran out and escaped. Even though she escaped, she felt very sorrowful because her father and mother died. "My father and mother have died," the girl mourned a lot. She also committed herself that "One day, I will definitely go to the palace." She thought so. "One day, I will definitely go to the palace," she thought to herself. One to two months later after she recovered from grief, she wore male clothes and went to the palace and said that she was looking for a job. Her name was 'Atsawm'. It was 'Atsawm'. She got to the palace and when she said that she was looking for a job, the king immediately felt pity for her when he saw the face of the girl. The king also immediately decided to give a job to the man. The girl came to the palace as a man. "What is your name?" the king asked. The girl answered that "A guy who is unlucky. Unlucky guy." "Ohh... Unlucky guy? Why are you not lucky?" asked the king. "It was given by my father and mother," the girl just said. Then, the king said OK and gave her a job. She was very good at work and was working blamelessly. One day, The king planned for his son to marry a daughter of a neighbouring king and they were busy with the wedding in the palace. The prince also thought that his girlfriend was burnt in the fire and just thought to marry the girl who his father arranged. But, he still felt something inside his mind. He was just feeling like he would meet again with the girl. So, before the wedding, when the people were preparing for the wedding, the girl sang a song. "I got a very beautiful name in the beginning. Later, I got the name, unlucky guy. Such my life," the girl sang the song nicely. At that time, the prince heard the song. The prince said to himself that "It said the name was very beautiful. The name of the girl I loved also (A Tsawm) very beautiful. It was a very beautiful name in the beginning. Later got unlucky guy name." The prince felt more sorry and he thought that the person who sung the song would be the girl he loved. He said to his father that "Father, who is the one who sung a song recently?" "It was sung by the unlucky guy. It is the boy," the king answered. The prince said that "Father, her voice is not the male's voice. It is the female's voice." "It is a boy. A boy. A servant of the palace," the king said again. Then, the prince said that "Father, I want to meet with the boy." "No, no, don't meet. We are busy now for the wedding," the king said. Then, the prince thought to himself that "Anyway, she is in this palace," and he was wandering around the palace. He saw some appearances. So, he also looked at the head and the foot, and he saw the ring that he gave on the finger. So, the prince said, "That is, that is." Then, he said to his father that "Father, I want to meet with the father and mother of the girl who I am going to marry." "Yes, it is OK. I will arrange it," the king said. The prince also said that he wanted to talk so he talked with them. "I will tell an example. I have a box. It was locked with a key but I lost the key. I don't see anymore. Thus, I make a new key that is exactly the same as the old key. When I compare the two keys, both are very good and the same. So, which key should I use to unlock the box? Can you two, father-in-law and mother-in-law tell me?" the prince asked. Then, the father-in-law said that "If you found the lost key, you should use that key." The prince said that "Yes, yes, very good. I really like what you just said. It is true. I will just use the key that I lost. Therefore, I cannot marry the daughter of you two. I have found the girl who I planned to marry. I will just marry her. You can also leave now." He just said so and broke the plan to marry their daughter. The king heard about that and got angry. The prince also ran immediately to the girl and hold her hand, and said that "Father, I will only marry her." Then, he removed the male clothes of the girl and put female clothes. So, the girl was very beautiful. She was the one who said the unlucky guy. The king could not deny anymore so the king arranged for them to marry. But, the king remembered about what he asked to burn the house of the parents of the girl. So, after his son married the girl, he left silently, without anyone seeing, the palace at night and went to the forest. He just meditated and lived there. And so, this is the story about the girl who became a queen as she committed herself to go to the palace definitely one day.
