KK1-1593 - Hkai pyek rem ai hkaw hkam kasha (The king child who raised a duck) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a royal family. While the king was alive, he made a promise to a king from another country. They said, "Let's our daughter and son marry when they become adults." One day, the king passed away. The prince and the princess became adults. The queen was getting older and older. Then she got sick. The king, who had made a promise to the late king, told the queen to send the princess to their country. The queen said to her daughter, "My daughter, I can't follow you. Take your handmaiden with you and go there." As she could not accompany her daughter, She gave her daughter a scarf on which she had dropped her tears three times. She gave it to her. The horse that the princess rode could speak. It could communicate with humans using human language. The princess rode it and set forth her journey. When she was halfway to her destination, she became thirsty. She used a gold cup to drink water. She used the gold cup to drink water. She told her handmaiden, "I am thirsty. Go get some water." The maid said, "Go get it by yourself!" She responded with disrespect. The princess got the water by herself and drank it. And they continued their journey. When they arrived at another mountain bend, the princess became thirsty again. "I am thirsty. Go fetch some water for me," she said to her maid. The maid disrespectfully replied, "Go get it by yourself." When the princess went to drink water, the scarf fell in and floated away. The maid saw everything and thought to herself, "That's good. The scarf is protecting her. Now, since the scarf is gone, I don't need to take care of her anymore. I will do what I want." She got on the horse that the princess rode. When the princess came back, the maid told her, "Only two of us are here. You must listen to me! I will ride your horse. Take off your clothes too. I will wear them." She said to the princess like that. The princess took off her clothes and gave the maid to wear them. The maid wore those clothes. After that, they continued their journey. Later, they arrived at the palace. The king asked the maid who was pretending to be the princess, "Who is she? Who is that girl accompanying you?" She answered, "Oh, she is a beggar. I feel pity for her, so I brought her with me. Maybe, she can get a job here." The king said, "Alright. Let her raise the ducks and take care of them. She can take care of them. Let her do it." She said, "That's good." They had not married yet, although the princess was already in that country. Then the maid thought to herself, "This horse can speak a human language. I should kill it too." Then she told the king, "My king, I窶况e been in trouble all the way here because of this horse. It causes me so much trouble, one thing after another. I don't even want to look at it. Kill it." The king ordered his servants, saying, "Behead this horse at once." The servants killed it at once. They took its head and were about to throw it. At that time, the real princess saw them and asked, "Can you please hang its head at the gate of the place where the ducks are raised? I will give you two visses of gold." They said, "Okay. We can do it." They hung the horse's head at the gate. She really gave them two visses of gold. One day, the real princess and the man who took care of the ducks were tending to them. She wore large hats while tending to the ducks. The man was wearing one as well. They were wearing really large hats and went to take care of the ducks. When they arrived at the gate, she murmured, "The horse, you are the only one who can save me. But you died." At that moment, the horse's head spoke to her, "If your mother, the queen, finds out about this, she will be very upset." The horse talked to her like that. In fact, the maid threatened the princess, "If you tell anyone about our story, you will be dead." The princess couldn't tell the truth to anyone. When the princess murmured to herself, the horse responded. The horse always protected her when it was alive. Then, the princess continued her work. Somewhere, she thought to comb her hair, so she took off her hat. Her hair shimmered like gold in the sunlight. It was so beautiful. Then the man who was tending the ducks saw her and thought to himself, "Let me touch that shining hair." Then he approached the princess. At that time, the princess said, "May a strong wind blow." Suddenly, a strong wind blew and blew off the man's hat. The hat was being blown away. While he was catching it, the princess quickly combed her hair. And she wore her hat again. He couldn't touch the princess's hair that day. Two days later, they were once again tending to the ducks in the forest. While the princess was combing her hair, the man wanted to touch her hair, so he tried. At that moment, the princess said, "May the strong wind blow." His hat was blown again, and he was struggling to catch it. Soon, the princess finished combing her hair. The man was very unsatisfied, so he went to the king and said, "There is a lady who always tends to the ducks with me. She is so special, with hair that shines like gold. Her hair is so beautiful. When I tried to touch it, the strong wind blew. The wind blew my hat away. After I picked up my hat and went back there, she had already finished combing her hair. I tried twice, but faced the same situation both times." The king said, "Escort the lady to the palace. I wish to meet her." The king said that. Then, the lady was called to the palace. "Why are you so special? You are the princess, aren't you? When I look at your appearance, you look like you have never worked before. You don't look like a maid." She said, "I can't say anything to you, my king. I have made a promise. If I tell someone about myself, I will die. I can't tell you." The king said, "If you can't tell a living person about yourself, there is a post in my palace. Say anything you want to that post. It窶冱 not a living thing, so you can tell it about yourself." One day, the princess went to that post and said, "I can't tell anyone about it. My mother will be upset if she finds out. She could even die from a broken heart, so I don't want to tell anyone about myself." She told the post about herself. Actually, the king was listening to her while hiding behind the post. The king knew everything after listening to her. And he called the maid, who pretended to be the princess and prepared to marry his son, and said to her, "You are such a liar!" He ordered his servants to escort the real princess to the palace. He gave her the royal attire to wear. The lady transformed into a beautiful princess as before. The king said, "She is the real princess." At that time, the maid was shocked. The king said, "You lie to me! You deceive all of us! You deserve to die! Kill her." The king's servants killed the maid. In the end, the king arranged a grand wedding for the prince and the princess. And they lived happily with the princess's mother, the queen.

译制版（丽塔·森·迈）：
从前，有一个王室家族。国王在世时，曾与另一个国家的国王订立盟约："待我之女与你之子成年后，便让他们成婚。"不久后，国王驾崩。王子与公主相继成年，王后日渐衰老，最终身染重疾。曾与先王缔结盟约的国王，便向王后提出，要接公主前往本国。王后对女儿说道："我儿啊，我无法陪你同去，你便带着侍女一同前往吧。"因不能伴女儿左右，王后将一条曾为她滴落三滴泪水的围巾赠予了她。
公主所乘的马匹竟能言人语，可与人类互通话语。于是公主骑上骏马，踏上了旅途。行至半途，公主口渴难耐，便对侍女道："我渴了，去帮我取些水来。"侍女却无礼地回道："你自己去！"公主只得亲自取水饮下，二人继续赶路。行至另一处山坳时，公主再次口渴，便又吩咐侍女："去给我取些水来。"侍女依旧傲慢地回应："自己去。"公主取水归来时，围巾不慎滑落水中，随波漂走。侍女将一切看在眼里，暗自思忖："这条围巾本是她的护身符，如今既已丢失，我便无需再照料她，尽可随心所欲了。"于是侍女骑上公主的坐骑，待公主返回，侍女便对她喝道："此处仅有你我二人，你必须听我的！我要骑你的马，把你的衣服也脱下来给我穿。"公主只得脱下衣物，交由侍女穿戴。
此后，二人继续行程。不久后，她们抵达了王宫。国王看向假扮公主的侍女，问道："你身旁的这位女子是谁？"侍女答道："哦，她是个乞丐，我可怜她，便带她一同前来，或许能在此谋一份差事。"国王道："也罢，便让她去饲养鸭子，负责照料它们吧。"二人尚未成婚，而真正的公主早已来到这个国家。此时侍女暗自盘算："这匹马能言人语，必须将它除掉。"于是她对国王说："父王，此行一路皆是这匹马惹的祸，它接连不断地给我添麻烦，我连看都不愿看它一眼，求父王将它斩杀。"国王当即下令侍从："即刻将此马斩首！"侍从们立刻动手杀了马，提着马首正准备丢弃时，真正的公主恰好撞见，便上前请求道："能否将马首悬挂在养鸭场的大门处？我愿赠予你们两维希（viss）的黄金。"侍从们应允："好，我们照做。"随后他们将马首挂在了大门上，公主也如约奉上了两维希黄金。
一日，真正的公主与负责养鸭的男子一同照料鸭群，二人都戴着宽大的帽子。他们头戴大帽，前去打理鸭群。行至大门处，公主低声呢喃："骏马啊，唯有你能救我，可你却已离世。"话音刚落，马首竟开口说道："若你的母后得知此事，定会万分悲痛。"原来，此前侍女曾威胁公主："若你将此事告诉任何人，你便会死。"公主不敢向任何人吐露实情。此刻马首应声而答——这匹马生前始终守护着她。
公主继续劳作，某日她想梳理头发，便摘下了帽子，金发在阳光下熠熠生辉，美得不可方物。养鸭男子见状，暗自心想："我真想触摸那闪耀的发丝。"于是他缓步靠近公主。此时公主默念："愿狂风骤起。"刹那间，狂风大作，将男子的帽子吹飞。男子忙着去追帽子时，公主迅速梳好头发，重新戴上了帽子。当日男子未能如愿触摸公主的发丝。
两日后，二人再次在林间照料鸭群。公主梳理头发时，男子又想上前触摸，公主当即默念："愿狂风骤起。"男子的帽子再次被风吹走，他慌忙去追赶。很快公主便梳好了头发，男子满心不甘，便去面见国王，说道："有一位女子常与我一同照料鸭群，她甚是特别，发丝如黄金般闪耀，美得动人心魄。我曾试图触摸她的头发，却突然刮起狂风，将我的帽子吹飞。待我捡回帽子返回时，她已梳好头发。我试了两次，皆是如此。"国王道："将那位女子带到王宫来，我想见见她。"于是女子被传唤至王宫。国王见到她后问道："你为何如此与众不同？你就是公主，对不对？看你的样貌，全然不像劳作之人，倒像是从未做过粗活的贵族。"女子答道："我不能告诉您任何事，父王。我曾立下誓言，若向他人泄露自己的身份，我便会死去。我不能告诉您。"国王道："若你不愿对活人吐露实情，王宫中有一根柱子，你可对它倾诉一切。它并非活物，你尽可告知它你的身份。"
一日，公主来到柱子旁，哭诉道："我无法告诉任何人我的身份。若母后得知此事，定会伤心欲绝，甚至可能因此离世，所以我绝不能向任何人透露自己的身份。"她对着柱子倾诉了一切。殊不知，国王正藏在柱子后偷听，将一切尽收耳中。随后国王传唤了假扮公主、即将与王子成婚的侍女，怒斥道："你这个骗子！"他下令侍从将真正的公主接入王宫，赐予她王室服饰。女子重新变回了昔日美丽的公主模样。国王当众宣布："她才是真正的公主。"此时侍女大惊失色。国王怒道："你竟敢欺骗我，欺骗我们所有人！你罪该万死，杀了她！"国王的侍从们当即处死了侍女。
最终，国王为王子与公主举办了盛大的婚礼，二人与公主的母亲王后一同过上了幸福的生活。
