Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
In the past, there was a newlywed couple who quarreled every day, starting right after their wedding day. The husband beat his wife every time they fought. They had been living like that for many years. The neighbours suggested them, "Something is wrong with your family. You two beat each other every time you fight. Go get a divine reading and a palm reading." Then the husband went to get a palm reading. The palm reader told him, "Your wife was a cow. The cow should be beaten a lot. Prepare 100 sticks. Hit your wife with it once when you fight, and then throw it away." In the evening, when he arrived home after the palm reading, they fought again. So he hit her with a stick and threw it away. Every time they fought, he hit her with a stick he had prepared. Later, they stopped arguing and fighting. However, the husband always stole things from others. Because he often stole things, no one wanted to talk to him, and people began to dislike him. After four or five years of stealing, he no longer wanted to do it. He didn't want to steal things anymore. Later, he started doing business. His gold trading business became successful. He had done everything: stolen things, fought, run a business, gone fishing, and hunted. Whatever happened in the village, the villagers called on him. His solutions were always correct. He made it fair for both parties and taught them valuable lessons. Therefore, all the villagers respected him. Now, he was dead because he was old. When he was alive, he had always been a fair and righteous judge. Even after his death, the villagers still called upon him whenever they had matters to judge. This is the end.
