Description:		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.
