KK1-0292 - Mungkan ga ntsa hta anya dik ai masha tam ai maumwi (The most foolish man) with English translation

Translation (Seng Pan) This is about looking for the most foolish person in the world. There were a mother and her two sons. After a few years, the younger brother passed away. The mother was so sad for losing her son. She and her elder son bred pigs for living. They lived on by farming and breeding animals. The neighbors noticed that the mother was so sad for her loss and longed for her beloved son. A man who heard about it, went to her and said, "Lady, don't be so sorry! I am from the soul world where your son is. I come here as your son asked me to. You son is so poor there. He needs money, food, and blanket. Give them to me and I will take to him!" The mother didn't realize he was a liar. Since she longed for her son, she gave all the things he asked for. When her elder son arrived home, she said, "Today, a man from your brother's soul world came and asked for some money and food. I gave them to deliver to your younger brother." Then the son said, "Mom, how the men form soul world could come here and ask for the money! Mom, you are so foolish! I don't want to live with you anymore. I will move to another place. I will come back to you only when I find someone who is more foolish than you. If there is no one, I won't come back home." So, he went out from home to look for someone who was more foolish than his mother. He arrived at a house where many pigs were bred. As soon as he saw the pigs, he sat down and bowed them. Then the owner asked him why he did like that. He answered, "Because I want to invite them to my birthday party as they were born on the same day as me. I wish I can bring them to my home. But don't worry! I will send them back to you after my birthday party." The owner also agreed to bring the pigs. Therefore, he carried all of them in a horse cart and run away. When he reached to a feeder road, he let his friends take the horse cart to another road. But he changed his form and remained there by wearing a bamboo hat. After the date he and the pigs' owner fixed to return the pigs, the pigs' owner followed him. On the way, he met a man and asked him if he saw the horse cart which carried the pigs passed by. The man showed the way the cart headed to and said he needed to chase after it quickly. When the pigs' owner heard it, he requested, "Brother, please help me to follow it! I will give you some pigs if you could catch it." However, the man said, "Sorry brother! I cannot. I am not free. My father is hunting in the forest. I have a bird inside this hat. And my father let me press it until he come back." "I am so tired now. I cannot chase them anymore. I will press it and wait until your father comes back here," the pigs' owner requested again. "No! My father will get angry at me. Inside has the bird. It will fly out from it if you don't press it well," the man denied again. "No! I will beg him and explained until he understands. I will also give him some money. Please hlep me!" the owner demanded again. At last, the man accepted his request. He rode the horse and ran away. There the owner was waiting for the father to come out from the forest by pressing the bamboo hat. But nobody came out form the forest till it was getting dark. So, he decided to take a look what was inside the hat. When he opened, he saw a pile of shit. As the elder son found out the one who was more foolish than his mother, he went back home.

翻译（Translation，Seng Pan）：本故事旨在寻找世间最愚蠢之人。从前有一位母亲和她的两个儿子。数年后，弟弟离世，母亲因丧子悲痛万分。她与长子以养猪为生，靠农耕与畜牧维持生计。邻居们察觉到母亲因失去爱子而终日哀伤、思念不已。一名听闻此事的男子前来找到她，说道：“夫人，莫再悲伤！我来自令郎所在的灵界，受他所托而来。您的儿子在那边过得十分窘迫，需要钱、食物和被褥。请把这些东西给我，我会转交给他！”母亲因思念儿子心切，未察觉对方是骗子，便将其索要之物悉数奉上。长子回家后，母亲告知：“今日有位来自你弟弟灵界的人前来，索要了钱、食物和被褥，我都给了他让转交你弟弟。”长子说道：“母亲，灵界之人怎会前来索要钱财？您实在愚笨！我不愿再与您同住，将迁居他处。唯有寻得比您更愚蠢之人，我才会归家；若寻不到，便永不回来。”于是长子出门寻找比母亲更愚蠢的人。他来到一户养猪人家，看到猪后便坐下对猪鞠躬。主人问其缘由，他答道：“这些猪与我同日出生，我想邀请它们参加我的生日宴，希望能把它们带回家，宴会后会送回来。”主人竟同意了。于是长子将所有猪装上马车逃走。行至岔路，他让友人将马车赶往另一条路，自己则换上装束，戴着竹帽留在原地。约定归还猪的日期过后，猪的主人前来寻他，途中遇到一名男子，询问是否见过载猪的马车经过。男子指了方向，说需尽快追赶。主人请求道：“兄弟，帮帮我去追吧！若能截住，我分你些猪。”男子答道：“抱歉，我没空。父亲在林中打猎，我帽子里有只鸟，他让我按住帽子直到他回来。”主人再次请求：“我太累了，追不动了，我替你按住帽子等你父亲回来吧。”男子拒绝：“不行，父亲会生气的。帽子里有鸟，按不好会飞走。”主人又恳求：“我会向他解释清楚，还会给他钱，帮帮我吧！”最终男子应允，骑马离去。主人便按住竹帽，等待林中的父亲回来，直到天黑也无人出现。他打开帽子一看，里面竟是一堆粪便。长子找到比母亲更愚蠢之人，便回了家。转录（Transcription，Lu Awng）：Mungkan ga ntsa hta ah nya dik ai masha tam ai maumwi re.
