Translation (Seng Pan)
The story I am going to tell you is about an eagle. A long time ago, there was a big family. The family had many children. Although the father and mother worked hard to raise the children, they always fought each other a lot. The mother also fought with her children and hurt them. So, the father was so unhappy. His wife and children always swore and hurt each other. The father was so depressed. Therefore, he went out from the house one day. He walked to a place. There he met with a master. He said, "Master, my family members always fight like the animals. There is no day we are happy. No time at home is peaceful. They always attack each other. I even cannot talk to my wife. When I talk to her, she fights me back. How should I solve this problem? Please help me!" Then the master said, "Alright. You have to go to a chasm. There you will find a dead cow or buffalo. Find a bush near the dead body of a cow or a buffalo and hide there. You should keep quiet and wait for an eagle to come. An eagle will come and eat the dead body. It will sit on the dead body and eat it. Before it flies away, it will leave one of its feathers. After it leaves, you go and take that eagle's feather on the dead body. Then return to your home. You do not need to come back to me. When you arrive at your house, don't enter first. Stand the outside of your house. Then cover your eyes with the eagle's feather. After that look at your family members." The man also went to a chasm and hid behind a bush quietly. He was looking at an eagle that sat on a cow's dead body and ate it. After a while, the eagle flew away. Then the man ran to the dead body and picked up a feather which the eagle had left. He hid it and went back to his home. As the master told him, he did not go inside the house. He just stayed at outside and looked at his family members by covering his eyes with the eagle's feather. Then the man saw many dogs and pigs. His wife was a bitch. There was an only one human who was his youngest child. The man was so shocked that all his family members including his wife were dogs and pigs when he covered his eyes with the feather and watched them. And he felt distaste for them. So, he went into the house and held up only his youngest child. The father and child left the house and walked to a new place.
