Translation (Htoi Awng)
A long time ago, there were two righteous men in a village. One was a farm owner, and the other man wanted that farm. Then, the owner sold it to his friend. The new owner started growing some vegetables there. One day, when he dug the ground, he found a big pit under the ground. There was a small jar inside it. When he opened it, he found full of gold. He thought, "I only paid for the farm, not for the gold. I do not deserve it. This is not mine. It deserves the former owner." Then, he went to the former owner to give the gold. When he gave that, the former owner said, "I didn't bury the gold. Since you have bought the farm from me, the gold is yours." The new owner of the farm said, "No! I only paid for the farm, so you deserve the gold." They refused to take the gold for a long time. At last, they decided, "Okay then. The gold is not ours. What shall we do with this gold?" They discussed how to manage the treasure. They had a daughter and a son respectively. They decided to let their children get married. And they gave the gold jar to their children. If the other people found the gold jar, they would definitely keep it secretly. Since they were righteous, they could arrange like that. This is the end of the story.
