Translation (Roi Ban) A long time ago, a family with many sons and a poor orphan boy who only had a grandmother lived in a village. They were staying next each other. As their houses were closed together, those sons of rich man bullied the orphan boy. The orphan boy had to endure that. They bullied him every day. One day, the sons of rich men said to the boy “Let’s go hunting in the jungle”. Finally, they got a wild boar. Then they cut and made portion for sharing. When they cut and shared, those rich man’s sons said, "Since we are a big family , we have to get so many portions but you have only one old grandmother. So you should get only the intestine". Then they gave the intestine to the orphan boy and took all the good part from wild boar. Even though the orphan was not satisfied about it, he took the intestine and washed it in the stream. When he cleaned the intestine, he saw many gold coming out of the intestine instead of stool. From that time onwards, the poor orphan boy and his old grandmother became rich by selling gold from the intestine. This story teaches us we should not bully the others.
