KK1-0065 - Ka-ni a lam (The opium) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about opium. The title of the story is 'opium'. Once upon a time, there was a river flowing between two villages. A girl lived on this side of the river while a boy lived on the other side. They were falling in love. But their parents didn't give their permission. They said, "You two live in different places, so you two can't be together." But they couldn't live separately. So, the boy swam across the river and went to the girl. They lived together there. Their parents didn't give their permission to them. They got really angry at them. So, the girl was upset and said, "Since our parents are getting angry at us and don't give their permission, ending my life could be better." She committed suicide at the place where they used to date. But the boy didn't know that she was dead. After two or three days, he went to that place to meet the girl. He saw her dead body and felt mournful. On his way back home, his eyes were full of tears and he had heartache. He was dead on the way too. The villagers saw their dead bodies and burnt them. The smoke coming out from burning their bodies went up to the sky and combined there. After a few days, a plant grew at the place where their bodies were burnt. It was a really beautiful plant. It was opium. The villagers saw that plant and thought, "Why is this beautiful plant growing on the grave?" They pinched the leaf and tasted it. Another one came there and tasted it again. The villagers came there again and tasted them again. So, they thought, "We should plant this plant. It is really good." It is opium which can be made of many different kinds of drugs. The opium was growing where the couple was lying. Once a person tries that opium, he doesn't want to quit it. This is the end of the story. Transcription (La Ring) E ndai kani a lam.

【翻译（译者：Rita Seng Mai）】本故事围绕鸦片（opium）展开，标题为《鸦片》。从前，一条河流横贯两个村落。河的一岸住着一位少女，另一岸住着一位少年，二人互生情愫，坠入爱河。但双方父母均反对二人的亲事，言道：“二人分处两地，终究无法相伴相守。”可二人早已无法割舍彼此，于是少年泅渡过河，与少女团聚，二人就此共同生活。双方父母得知后震怒不已，坚决反对他们的往来。少女忧心如焚，说道：“既然父母为我们恼怒且不肯应允，或许了结此生才是更好的选择。”随后她在二人昔日约会的地点自尽身亡。少年对此全然不知，两三日后，他如约来到约会地点，却只见到少女的遗体，悲痛万分。返程途中，他泪水涟涟，心痛如绞，最终也倒毙在路上。村民们发现二人的遗体后，将他们火化。焚烧遗体产生的烟气升腾至天际，交融汇聚。数日后，二人遗体被焚烧之处长出一株极为美丽的植物，正是鸦片（opium）。村民们见此植物生长在坟冢之上，便摘下叶片品尝，又有旁人上前尝了一口，此后陆续有村民前来尝试。众人纷纷言道：“我们应当种植这种植物，它实在妙不可言。”这种可被制成各类药物的植物便是鸦片。鸦片就生长在这对恋人的长眠之处。但凡有人尝试过这种鸦片，便再也无法戒除。故事至此完结。
