Translation (Htoi Awng) There lived a couple in a village. The couple often argued since newlyweds. The husband beat his wife every time they argued. They had lived like that for many years. Then, the neighbours told them, "Something is not right. You two always argue and beat each other. You should go to a fortune-teller to solve the problems." So, the husband went to the fortune-teller. The fortune-teller said, "Your wife was a bull and is reincarnated as a human now. We need to beat a lot when we train a new bull, Same like that, you need to beat your wife to solve this problem. Then, you need to find hundred cane sticks. Use a stick and beat her whenever you two argue. And then, throw the stick away." The man went back home after reading his palm. That night, they argued again. At that time, the husband beat his wife with a stick. And he threw it away. Whenever they argued, he beat his wife with a stick which he prepared. After hundred times beating, they never argued again. Although they never agued anymore, the husband started stealing things. The neighbours gossiped about him, were disappointed at him and didn't want to talk to him. After stealing things for four or five years, he changed his mind. He did not want to steal things again. Then, he started doing the business. He got success in his business: trading gold and became wealthy. He had done many things in his life. If there were problems like arguments between couples, theft and other problems in the village, the villagers always went to him and asked for device how to stole the problems. Everything was solved when the villagers followed his advice. He could make people satisfied. Since then, the villagers had respected him very much. Many years later, he was getting old and died. Although he died, the people honoured him, "He was a righteous man when he was alive. Although he was dead now, we will take help from him to solve our problems." Then, the villagers printed his photos and kept those in their houses. Whenever they faced problems, they asked that man to help them. This is the end.
