KK1-1560 - Law hpa myit rawng ai num (The greedy woman) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, in a village, there were two widows who sold wood to make a living. They were neighbours. Every day, they went into the forest to collect wood. They were good friends. But one of the women was greedy. When they saw the branches and logs, the greedy woman said, "That's the wood I intended to collect yesterday." And she took all. She collected lots of wood in a day. The good woman collected wood and sold it once a day. The greedy woman got lots of wood a day and made a lot of money. The good woman didn't make a lot of money. The greedy woman wore nice dresses and showed them off. She proudly said, "Look at me. I can wear these nice dresses." She always cooked expensive, delicious meals too. But she never shared anything with the good woman. Although her friend didn't have nice clothes, she never shared her dresses with her. The good woman thought, "It is okay. I like my life. I am satisfied with what I have." Sometimes, they went to collect the wood together. Sometimes, the greedy woman became even greedier and wanted to collect more wood, so she went to the forest alone. One day, in order to collect more wood, the greedy woman went to the forest alone, without her friend. Meanwhile, the good woman thought, "I will just go alone then. It will be hard." She had to go alone. On her way, she met an old man with a white mustache. When she saw him, she thought, "Who is he? What kind of person is he?" She was a bit scared. The old man said, "Don't be afraid of me. Come to me. You make a living just by selling wood, don't you?" She said, "Yes, I do. I sell wood. I make a living that way." He said, "Okay. I understand you. Your life will be hard." He showed her two pots: one small and the other big. And he asked her, "Which one do you prefer? Do you like this small one? Or this big one?" As she was contented, she said, "I like this small pot. I don't have enough strength to carry the big one too. I will take the small one." He said, "Okay. Then take the small pot. But keep in mind. You must not open it on your way. When you arrive home, close all doors and windows. You must open it in a safe place. You can use anything you get from it. Don't collect wood anymore. Live a happy life." She took the small pot, just as the old man with the long mustache had instructed. She took it home. When she arrived home, she closed all the doors and windows. She found full of gold inside the pot. "What should I do with this gold? I should keep it safe. I should use it wisely," she thought. She didn't collect wood anymore. She sold the gold little by little and spent it on herself. She spent her days happily. She ate delicious meals every day. She didn't need to collect wood anymore. She ate tasty meals and wore nice dresses every day. She was living a good life. The greedy woman, who usually collected and sold wood, couldn't spend as much as the good woman. One day, the greedy woman visited the good woman and said, "My friend, how did you become so beautiful?" The good lady said, "Because I eat delicious and nutritious meals. You are beautiful too." The greedy lady said, "But I am not as pretty as you are. You become really pretty. How did you get so much money? Tell me, please." The good lady asked her, "Do you really want to listen?" She said, "Of course." Then the good lady explained everything to her. She said, "When I reached the place after passing two or three mountain bends, I met an old man with a white mustache. When you meet him, you can ask him." The greedy woman thought, "That lady even got a lot of money. I will do exactly as she did." After she walked past two or three mountain bends, she saw the old man sitting there. She walked toward him. The old man asked her, "Who are you? You are the person who collects wood to make a living, aren't you?" She said, "Yes, I am." He said, "I see. Come here." He took out the small pot and the big pot in front of her and said, "Between these two pots, which one do you prefer? Take one pot you like." As she was greedy, she said, "I want this one." She took the big pot and went back home. The old man told her before she went back home, "Don't look inside it on your way back home. When you arrive home, close all doors and windows. You can open the pot at that time. Never open it on your way." She said, "I understand." She was too greedy and took the big pot. On her way back, she was curious about it. She was confused and curious, "He told me not to open it. I really want to know what is inside. I will just open it no matter what." The pot was heavy too. When she opened the pot, there was a bomb exploding loudly. She died because of the bomb. So, people should not be greedy. The good woman could live happily because she was contented. The greedy woman died because of her greed. This is the end of the story.

翻译（丽塔·森·迈）：很久很久以前，某村庄中住着两位以卖柴为生的寡妇，二人比邻而居，每日结伴前往森林砍柴，情谊深厚。然其中一位妇人天性贪婪。每当望见树枝与原木，贪婪的妇人便会宣称："这正是我昨日本欲捡拾的柴木。"随即将所有木柴尽数取走。她一日便能采集大量柴薪，善良的妇人却仅每日砍柴售卖一次。贪婪的妇人每日收获颇丰，赚得盆满钵满，善良的妇人却并未积累多少财富。贪婪的妇人身着华服，四处炫耀，得意地说道："看我这身漂亮衣裙。"她也时常烹制昂贵美味的佳肴，却从未与善良的妇人分享分毫。即便好友无像样衣裳，她也从未赠予对方自己的衣裙。善良的妇人却暗自思忖："无妨，我喜爱当下的生活，对现有的一切心满意足。"有时二人会同赴森林砍柴，有时贪婪的妇人愈发贪心，想要采集更多木柴，便独自前往森林。一日，为采集更多柴木，贪婪的妇人独自进山，未带好友。善良的妇人暗想："那我只得独自前往了，此举会有些艰难。"她只得孤身启程。途中，她遇见一位留着白色长须的老者。望见老者时，她心中暗忖："他是谁？究竟是何等人物？"不免心生怯意。老者说道："不必怕我，过来吧。你以卖柴维持生计，对吗？"妇人答道："是的，我靠卖柴为生。"老者道："好，我明白了。你的生活将迎来困顿。"他取出两个罐子，一大小。问道："你更喜欢哪一个？这个小的，还是这个大的？"因心怀知足，妇人说道："我喜欢这个小罐子，我没有足够力气同时搬动大罐，便取小罐吧。"老者道："好，那便带走这个小罐。但切记，途中绝不可打开它。到家后，关好所有门窗，在安全之处再行开启。你可随意使用罐中所得之物，不必再砍柴了，安享幸福生活吧。"善良的妇人依照长须老者的嘱咐，带着小罐回了家。到家后，她关好门窗，打开罐子，发现里面装满了黄金。"该如何处置这些黄金？我当妥善保管，明智使用。"她暗想。此后她不再砍柴，将黄金逐步变卖，用以改善生活，每日过得惬意快活。她每日都能享用美味餐食，无需再上山砍柴，身着漂亮衣裙，过上了富足安稳的生活。向来砍柴卖柴的贪婪妇人，日常开销却远不及善良的妇人。一日，贪婪的妇人登门拜访，问道："我的朋友，你怎么变得这般美丽了？"善良的妇人答道："只因我食用美味又营养的餐食，你也很漂亮啊。"贪婪妇人道："可我远不如你好看，你愈发标致了。你是如何赚到这么多钱财的？请告知我吧。"善良的妇人问道："你真的想听吗？"贪婪妇人答道："当然。"于是善良的妇人将一切和盘托出："当我走过两三个山弯后，便遇见了那位留着白色长须的老者。你若遇到他，亦可向他询问。"贪婪妇人暗想："那位妇人都得到了如此多钱财，我当完全依照她的做法行事。"当她走过两三个山弯后，果然看见老者坐在那里。她走上前去，老者问道："你是谁？你是靠砍柴为生的人，对吗？"贪婪妇人答道："是的，我是。"老者道："我明白了，过来吧。"他在妇人面前取出大小两个罐子，说道："这两个罐子之间，你更喜欢哪一个？选一个你中意的吧。"因生性贪婪，妇人说道："我想要这个大的。"她带走了大罐子，准备返家。老者在她离开前嘱咐道："回家途中切勿打开罐子。到家后，关好所有门窗，那时再行开启。绝不可在路上打开它。"妇人答道："我明白了。"她太过贪婪，一心只念着大罐子。归途中，她心中满是好奇，既困惑又急切地想知晓罐中究竟装着什么："他让我不要打开，可我实在想知道里面是什么，无论如何都要打开看看。"罐子又十分沉重，当她打开罐子的刹那，里面的炸弹轰然爆炸。她当场被炸死。由此可见，人不可贪婪。善良的妇人因知足常乐得以安享幸福生活，贪婪的妇人却因自身贪欲殒命。故事至此终结。
