KK1-1351 - Shingjut (The caterpillar) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) I am going to tell you about how a pupa has become. A long time ago, there was a family with three family members. The parents loved their only child so much. But the child had a habit of stealing things. He loved stealing things. His parents taught him not to steal things from other people, but he couldn't get rid of his habit. He was even arrested, but he never regretted it. He kept stealing things. He even stole just a piece of wood from the neighbours. Gradually, people were getting scared of him. No matter what other people said to him, he couldn't abandon his bad habit. Later, he stole other people's valuable things. People started hating him slowly. Finally, he was beaten to death. He became a pupa. Soon he turned into a caterpillar with many sharp setae. We can see that caterpillar today.
