KK1-1160 - Ja gumra (The gold horse) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a young traveller. While he was travelling, a golden horse went past in front of him. When that golden horse went past, he thought, "Wow! The golden horse I've never seen before went past just in front of me. How lucky I am!" Then he followed it. He ran after it. But he couldn't reach to it. When he kept following it, it went into a deep hole. It went into the pit. Then he waited for the golden horse just by sitting beside the pit. He waited for a long time. But it didn't come out again. He thought to himself, "This is my luck. I shouldn't go back. I will dig here to see the golden horse." Then he started digging the pit where the horse went in. He kept digging the hole. He didn't see the horse no matter how deep he dug. "Anyway, I have to dig until I see. I have already started doing this," he thought. Then he saw that there was only a golden pot inside it. He was curious and opened them. There was water inside the pot. The water was so clean. He thought, "Ohh, it's perfect since I am thirsty." He drank water from that pot. When there was a little water left, he thought to himself, "The water is so clean and tasty too. I will drink all." And he drank all of the water. After drinking water, he set forth his journey. It was getting dark, then he went to one house as a guest and slept there. He said, "Landlord, let me sleep in your house tonight, please. It's getting dark." Then the landlord said, "It's okay." The next day, the houseowner's wife was getting up to cook breakfast. He heard that the lady was getting up. But he was just lying in bed. He didn't get up even though the sun was risen up. He was totally fine last night, he suddenly felt sick to his stomach the next morning. He felt nausea. So, he didn't get up even though the landlady got up. The landlady thought, "Hmmm? Our guest didn't wake up till now. What's wrong with him?" And she walked into the room. She said, "Mr, there are faeces near the blanket." He was pooping in the bed since he didn't feel well. When the landlady said like that, he thought, "Ohh, the lady saw faeces now." So, he wrapped all gold without falling. While the landlady was going back to the kitchen, he folded the blanket and cleaned his faeces. Surprisingly, there was only gold on the blanket where he defecated his faeces. There was gold near his clothes and on the place where he slept. There was gold everywhere. He thought, "Ohhh, something is not right. I should go out before the house family doesn't see me." He collected all that gold and wrapped nicely. Then he quickly went out from that house while the landlady was in the kitchen.

译述（丽塔·盛迈（Rita Seng Mai））：
从前，有一位年轻的旅行者。正当他行旅途中，一匹金色骏马从他身前疾驰而过。见此情景，他不禁赞叹："哇！我从未见过这般金骏，竟与我不期而遇，何其幸运！"说罢便策马追赶。他奋力疾驰，却始终无法追上骏马。紧随良久，骏马纵身跃入一处深洞。旅行者遂在洞旁静候，盼其复出。可等候多时，骏马始终未曾现身。他暗自思忖："此乃吾之机缘，万不可半途而返。吾当掘开此洞，寻那金骏。"随即动手挖掘骏马坠入的深洞。他不停刨挖，却无论挖得多深，都未曾见到骏马的踪影。"无论如何，我都要挖到底，定要寻见它。既然已然开始，便不能放弃。"他这般想着。直至挖至洞底，他只发现了一只金罐。他心生好奇，遂将其打开，罐中盛着澄澈甘冽的清水。他心想："正巧我口渴难耐，这水再好不过。"于是俯身饮水。待到罐中只剩少许清水时，他又暗自盘算："这水这般清冽可口，我当一饮而尽。"随即喝光了罐中所有的水。饮毕，他再次踏上旅程。天色渐暗之际，他寻得一户人家借宿，说道："东家，天色已晚，能否容我今夜在贵府借宿一晚？"主人应允："无妨。"次日清晨，屋主妻子起身准备早餐。旅行者听到女主人起身的动静，却依旧卧床不起——昨夜尚且无恙，次日清晨却突感胃部不适，恶心反胃。即便女主人已起身，他仍卧床未动。女主人见状心生疑惑："嗯？这位客人至今未醒，莫非是身体不适？"便走进房间查看，说道："先生，毛毯附近有粪便。"原来旅行者昨夜不适，竟在床上便溺。听到女主人的话，他顿时窘迫不已，慌乱间只想带着所有财物逃走。趁女主人返回厨房之际，他赶忙叠好毛毯，清理了床上的粪便。令人惊愕的是，他排便的毛毯之上，竟铺满了黄金；他的衣物旁、睡卧之处，处处皆是黄金。他顿时醒悟："不对劲！我必须在这家人发现前离开这里。"他将所有黄金收拢包裹妥当，趁女主人在厨房之时，匆匆逃离了这户人家。
