Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell you now is about an orphan and bullies. A long time ago, there was an orphan and the bullies. The bullies were really bad. They enjoyed tormenting the orphan. One day, the orphan cooked the rice from a stone pot. So, they were fond of the orphan's stone pot and asked for it. Then, the orphan gave it to them. But he said a word, "When you cook the rice in it, shake it a bit." The bullies took it and cooked the rice in it. But the rice was not cooked. They didn't follow what the orphan said. They lighted up a big fire, but the rice was not cooked. The bullies thought the orphan told a lie to them. Thus they looked for the orphan. However, the orphan had already moved to another country. And he was adopted by a man. He was also married to a woman and also given a house. But the bullies died on the way since they were exhausted.
