Translation (Htoi Awng) A long time ago, there were a king and a queen in a country. They had a daughter. They adored their daughter so much. The king hired a nanny to care for his daughter. One day, the king prepared to celebrate his daughter's birthday. The king commanded his servants to prepare for the celebration. The king told the nanny, "Tomorrow, there will be a celebration for my princess. Prepare perfectly for her." Everyone in the palace tried their best for the princess's birthday party. The chefs cooked the best meal as well. On that day, the queen chose the gorgeous dress to wear at the celebration. She tried one dress after one, but she could not find the best dress in her mind. She had changed many dresses, but she still couldn't find one. At last, she chose one dress. After getting changed, the queen ordered the maids to bring her daughter. They went to the princess chamber, but the princess was missing. They were searching for her, but they couldn't find her. The maids thought, "Where is the princess going at this important time?" Finally, they found the princess under the heap of the dresses. Unfortunately, the princess was dead. The queen was sorrowful and cried out loud, "We are going to throw a celebration for her. But she is dead." The princess was dead because of the queen, who wanted to be much more beautiful. Everyone was in deep sorrow and cried a lot. They regretted it, but it was too late. The queen was overpreparing in looking herself gorgeous. So, when we do something, we should be balanced. We shouldn't overdo something. Because of the queen who wanted to look so beautiful, the baby princess had died under the heap of dresses since she couldn't get enough oxygen. This is the end of the story.
