Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, in a village, there was a mature stepmother. In that village, the chickenpox disease was spread once. All the children from the whole village were sick due to the chickenpox disease. That woman carried a child, who was from the first wife, on her back, held a younger child's hand, who was her own, and went to an old lady at the bottom of her village. When they reached that old lady, she said, "Hey lady, you let a younger one walk, and you carry an elder one on your back." Then the woman replied, "Friend, I gave birth to this younger child, so he has a lot of happiness. That's why I do not need to carry him on my back.” "This elder one is from my older sister, so he is lonely and down-hearted. That's why I carry him on my back. E Friend, we are looking for medicine as the children are suffering from chickenpox disease."The old lady told them, "You all go back. Cut and place pine trees and pine leaves on the left and right sides of your house doorways. Burn these medicine leaves and stay home.” "So the disease will vanish and disappear. Don't tell anyone about it." The stepmother thought she had to tell this to all the village people as well as all the children from her village who fell sick. "All my friends, stick pine trees and leaves on your doorways on both left and right sides. Burn medicine leaves. So that the disease will vanish and the chickenpox from all children will go away. Place and stick pine leaves on both sides of all your doorways."told the whole village. End of the story.
