KK1-1304 - Badin shara na ga madat shut ai lam (The Man who misunderstood fortune-telling) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about a father who killed his son because of the fortune teller's words. Many years ago, a man got married to a woman in a village. They had a child soon after their marriage. When the child was about one and a half years old, the man went on a business trip to earn some money to support his family. It was already ten years since he didn't go back home. He missed his family and thought, "How is my wife doing? Is she already married to another man? How about my son? How will he look now?" So he went to the fortune teller to ask about his family. The fortune teller could see that a man was sleeping next to the man's wife. He told the man, "Your wife probably remarried. I can see a grown man sleeping next to her every night." The man was angry to hear and went back home. But he didn't go back to his house directly. He stayed at a neighbour's house. At night, he secretly went into his house and tried to touch the back of his wife. He could really see that a man was sleeping next to his wife. He didn't even ask his wife properly and killed that young man. In fact, the young man was his son. He happened to kill his son.

译文（Rita Seng Mai 译）：本故事讲述一名男子因算命师的言辞而误杀亲生儿子的经过。多年前，某村落中的男子与女子成婚，婚后不久便诞下一子。孩子年满一岁半时，男子为贴补家用外出务工，此后十年未曾归家。他思念家人，暗自牵挂："妻子近况如何？是否已改嫁他人？我的儿子如今长成什么模样？"带着这些疑问，他前往算命处询问家人的境况。算命师察觉有成年男子夜夜伴睡在男子妻子身旁，便告知他："你的妻子大概率已经改嫁，每晚都有一名成年男子睡在她身边。"男子听闻后怒不可遏，当即启程返家，却并未直接归家，而是暂居邻居家中。入夜后，他偷偷潜入自家，伸手欲触碰妻子的后背，却果真看到一名男子睡在妻子身旁。他未向妻子询问清楚，便将那名年轻男子杀害，殊不知对方正是自己的亲生儿子，他竟失手杀死了自己的孩子。
