Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
The story I'm going to tell is about three men. Once upon a time, there were three traders in a village. They traded some goods. They could earn some amount of money too. But two traders didn't want to share the profit to their uneducated friend. Among three of them, one man was skillful and there was nothing he didn't know. One was not as smart as the first man. He knew some skills. The third man was uneducated and the most stupid. When they gained some profits after selling their goods, the two men didn't want to share those money to the uneducated one. On their way, they saw a dead lion. Seem like it was already a long time that the lion had been dead. There were only bones, without meat or skin, on its body. The two men said, "We are skillful people, and there is nothing we can't do. Let's bring this lion into life." The most skillful man said, "Although these bones are scattering around, I can joint them into the correct places." The second trader said, "I can bring it into life again. I know how to do it. Let's bring it back into life." The stupid man said, "My friends, I think it's not a good decision. A lion can bite us. If you two bring it back into its life, it will attack us." But the two skillful men wanted to show off their skill. They said, "Don't worry. Let's just do it." Then, the third man said, "Then, wait a minute. I will climb up the tree before you bring the lion back into life." After that, the two men made the lion alive again. Then, the lion killed both of them.
