Translation (Htoi Awng) This story is about not to humiliate the orphans. We should not humiliate the orphans. Long time ago, an orphan boy and the boys from the rich families were playing in the rich's compound. They were swinging. An orphan boy was swinging by saying, "The one who wants to die is not dead, and the one who doesn't want to die is dead." The rich boys told their parents that the orphan boy said like that. Then, a mother of a rich boy put poison in bananas and gave them to the orphan boy to eat. That mother said, "Eat some. Eat!" The orphan thought, "I should not eat alone. There are many rich boys too. I should share with them." And then, he shared the bananas with the rich boys. The rich boys didn't know that poison was applied on those bananas and ate them. Then, the rich boys were dead. People were wondered why many children were dead suddenly. They checked about the case. The rich lady asked the orphan, "Did you eat the bananas which the mother of the rich boys gave you?" The orphan answered, "No! I didn't eat those. Eating a banana is important for me. But the rich boys have to eat those. So, I respectfully gave those bananas to them." The mother of the rich boys injected poison in the bananas. Her sons were dead because of her bananas. Then, that mother said, "This morning, he said 'the one who wants to die is not dead and the one who doesn't want die is dead'. He bewitched my boys! He killed them!" She blamed the orphan boy. The boy thought carefully again and remembered. Then, he said, "It is she who gave me those bananas! Since I am an orphan boy, I don't have anyone to share those bananas. So, I gave them to the rich boys. As an orphan boy, I couldn't afford to eat them every time. I gave those bananas to the rich boys because I just wanted them to eat." Then, they got to know that it was the mother of the rich boys who applied poison on those bananas and she intentionally gave those to the orphan boy to eat because she wanted him to be dead. That was why the orphan said, "The one who wants to die is not dead, and the one who doesn't want to die is dead." And it really happened.
