Translation (Htoi Awng)
Once upon a time, there were a good minister and a bad minister who served the king. Each minister had a beautiful daughter. The king said to the good minister, "I want to let your daughter marry with my son, the heir of the throne." But the wicked minister heard their conversation. So, he was planning to kill the daughter of the good minister. One day, the good minister's daughter was on her way to the forest to pick some flowers. The evil minister saw her. Then, he followed behind her to kill her. The girl noticed someone followed her. So, she ran into the jungle. But she completely lost her way back home. She kept walking and walking. After some hours, she found a house in the jungle. She was thinking to ask for help from the house. When she knocked on the door, it was open by itself. There was no one in the house. The house was in a mess. So, she thought, "I will clean this house while the owner is away. And I will ask for help." After cleaning it, she was tired and fell asleep. In fact, the two brothers who were hunters were the owners. They robbed and stole things from the people too. When they came back home in the evening, they saw a beautiful girl was sleeping in their house. They woke her up and asked why she was sleeping in their house. The girl explained everything and requested to let her stay with them. The brothers agreed and stayed happily. One day, the king was going hunting in the jungle with his evil minister and some guards. That day, the girl was also searching for food in the jungle. Unfortunately, the wicked minister saw her. He thought, "Oh, you are here. I have been searching for you a long time." He didn't report to the king that he had seen the good minister's daughter. Later, the king returned to the palace. Later, the king returned to the palace. When they reached the palace, he said to the king, "I will go find the minister's daughter." He dressed as an older man and went to the place where the girl lived. When he saw the girl, he requested her, "Can you give me a cup of water? I'm so thirsty." The girl was kind and gave him a glass of water. He said, "I am so thankful. You are a kind girl. I will give you a necklace." He wore it on her neck. Soon after he left, the girl died. The wicked minister put a curse on the necklace. When the hunters got home in the evening, they saw the girl was dying on the floor. There was a big hole in the dried tree that was far from their house. So, they thought to bury her there. Five years later, the dead tree was regenerating. The beautiful and fragrant flowers were blossoming. One day, the prince went hunting in the jungle. Since he was exhausted, he took a rest under the tree where the girl was buried. The prince got the unique fragrant smell from the flowers. So, he plucked one flower and smelled it. Since the smell was nice, he didn't feel hunger and thought to stay under the tree forever. When the king heard that, he told his guards, "Cut down that tree! Escort the prince back to the palace!" When they cut the tree, they found a coffin inside it. The king saw it, so he told his guards to open it. They found that the daughter of the good minister was inside there. They saw the girl was wearing a strange necklace on her neck. So, they took it off. Surprisingly, she was back to life. She told the king, "That evil minister killed me! It was him, my king." Then, the bad minister was killed. The king's servants buried him in the tree's hollow. The king and the good minister's daughter went to the palace. They all lived happily forever.
