KK1-0314 - Hpun sakse tai ya ai lam (A tree was a witness) with English translation

Translation (Htoi Awng) Now, I am going to tell a story and the title of the story is "A tree was a witness". Long time ago, there was an orphan boy in a village. He got some amount of money after he worked hard. In the past, people use coins as their money. So, it was heavy. One day, he wanted to go somewhere very far. He could not take all the money because those were very heavy for him to carry. Then, he decided to let his neighbor who was an old man keep his money. He said, "Grandpa! I am going somewhere really far from here. Can you keep my money while I am not here?" And then he went. After many years, he came back and asked the grandpa about his money. He said, "Grandpa! Can I get back my money which I let you keep?" The grandpa had bad mind and wanted to take those money. He told the boy, "I don't know what you are talking about? When did you give me? Do not ever tell me like that! I never took your money." He did not want to give the money back to the boy. The orphan boy was very sad and went to a judge. He said, "Please, help me! Can you tell the grandpa to give my money back? He denied the fact that I gave my money to him to keep." Then, the judge came and told them to talk about that. The poor boy said that he gave. But the grandpa denied that. So, the judge asked the boy, "Was there a witness when you gave the money?" The poor boy answered, "There was no person, but there was a tree. We made the deal under that tree, and that tree is still there." The judge said, "Then, go and call that tree to come here." The boy said, "How can I take the tree here? The tree is sprouting there. It can't walk." The judge said, "Don't worry! Just call the tree, and it will move." While he was going to call the tree where they gave money under it, the grandpa and the judge were chatting. After a while, the judge asked the grandpa, "Did the kid arrive at the tree?" The grandpa answered inadvertently, "May be, he was driven away by God. He could not reach there yet. That tree is a little bit far away from here." Then, the judge knew right away. The grandpa couldn't lie that the boy really gave him the money under the tree. He was ashamed. The judge said, "You couldn't lie anymore. Did the boy give the money to you or not?" At that moment, the poor boy came back there. Then the judge told, "The witness which is the tree has reached here before you." This is the end of the story. God won't allow to deceive and commit fraud on the others. God can change the bad mindset and make the miracle things. Thanks so much.

本数据集的原始语言为景颇语（Jinghpaw），包含一则题为《树为证》的民间故事，相关内容如下：
1. 英文译述（Htoi Awng）：
接下来，我将为您讲述一则题为《树为证》的故事。
很久以前，某村落中有一名孤儿。他凭借辛勤劳作积攒下一笔钱财。在那个年代，人们以硬币作为流通货币，其重量相对较大。一日，他需前往一处极为遥远的地方，却无法携带全部钱款——因其重量远超个人负重能力。于是，他决定将钱财托付给一位年迈的邻居代为保管。他说道："老爷爷，我即将远行，能否请您在我离开期间帮我保管这些钱财？"随后他便启程离去。
多年之后，他返回家乡，向老人讨要钱款："老爷爷，我此前托付您保管的钱财，能否归还给我？"不料老人心怀歹念，妄图侵吞这笔钱财，便对男孩谎称："你在说什么？你何时将钱交给过我？休要在此胡言乱语！我从未拿过你的钱。"并拒不归还钱款。
孤儿悲痛万分，遂前往官府寻求法官的帮助。他哭诉道："求您帮帮我！请您让老爷爷归还我的钱财吧，他否认我曾将钱托付给他保管一事。"法官闻讯后，将二人召集到一起对质。男孩坚称自己曾将钱款交给老人，而老人依旧矢口否认。于是法官问道："你交付钱款时，可有旁人在场作证？"男孩答道："并无他人，但有一棵树。我们当时在那棵树下达成了保管约定，那棵树如今仍在原地。"法官说道："那便去将那棵树传唤至此处。"男孩疑惑道："我如何能带一棵树过来？它还在那里生长，根本无法行走。"法官道："不必担忧，只管去传唤它，它自会前来。"
就在男孩前去传唤那棵树下的证人时，法官与老人闲聊起来。过了片刻，法官问道："那孩子抵达那棵树所在的地方了吗？"老人不慎失言道："恐怕没有，他怕是被神惩戒了，至今仍未赶到那里。那棵树离这儿还有一段距离。"法官听罢当即了然——老人已然承认男孩确实曾在树下将钱托付给他。老人羞愧不已。法官遂对老人说道："你再也无法抵赖了。男孩是否曾将钱交给你？"恰在此时，男孩返回了此处。法官便对老人说道："那棵作为证人的树，其实早已比你先一步来到这里。"
故事至此结束。天道昭昭，不容欺诈与背信。神明可扭转邪念，亦能缔造奇迹。感谢聆听。
