Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story is about a greedy monkey. Once upon a time, there was a monkey in a forest. One day, that monkey went to pick the fruits. He went to the other side of the river to pick the fruits. Even though he had only two hands, he wanted to carry lots of fruits. He not only ate the fruits but also carried them. No matter how many he wanted to take, he couldn't carry more than two fruits. He could carry only two fruits. But he took a lot. The more he walked by carrying those fruits, the more he dropped. Only two fruits left in his hands. On his way, he had to cross a bridge. The river was deep. He saw that the water was deep in some parts of the river. When he looked at the river, he saw that there was a monkey crossing the river by carrying two fruits. Then he thought to itself, "That monkey carried two fruits. I could extort those two fruits from him. Then I will get four." He was greedy on that. He thought to rob those fruits too. Then he put his fruits on the ground and jumped into the river to steal the fruits from another monkey. Unfortunately, he was dead when he jumped down the river.
