Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell is about the two princesses. Once upon a time, there were two princesses in a country. One day, the king ordered them to bring snow. He said, "I will pass my throne to the one who can collect much snow." Then, they went to the forest to collect the snow which were spreading sparklingly on the grass. The younger princess could collect more snow than her sister. Then, the elder sister got jealous and pushed her sister into the lake. And then, she went back to the palace with a pot full of snow. The king asked her, "Where is your sister?" She lied to her father, "I don't know. She didn't come to me." The king didn't believe her. He was searching for his youngest daughter in the forest.
