KK1-1478 - Grai n kaja ai manang (The bad friend) with English translation

Full description

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there were two childhood friends. They knew each other since they were young. One friend was well-behaved and kind. She shared everything with her friend. The other friend was mean and greedy. She never shared what she had. They remained best friends. Soon, they reached the age to get married. The well-behaved woman was pure and kind. The mean lady was greedy. She wanted to be rich too. After getting married, the kind woman worked as a farmer. One day, she fell asleep while she was resting at her hut. (When she woke up) She saw an egret and followed it. She saw that the egret was eating a heap of gold. Then she picked up some gold and became rich. Her best friend asked her about how she became wealthy. She was pure and didn't think a lot. She told her everything. Her friend was actually jealous of her. The mean lady did exactly as her friend did. While the egret was eating gold, she tried to take more and more gold as she was greedy. At that time, the egret flew away. Then the cave she was inside closed down. The evil nat spirits killed her. This is the end of the story.
