Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a hunter in a village. He killed animals all the time, so even though he was just a young boy, he had many worries. The prophets told him, "If you continue living in this way, your life will be short. You kill lives, so you will only have a short life." The boy lived his life unhappily every day and night. He sat on a tree root, feeling depressed. At that moment, an old man passing by saw him and asked, "Kid, why are you so depressed?" He answered, "I will die after seven years. I killed many lives, so I won't live long." The old man felt pity for him after hearing what he said. The old man said, "Then do only good things. Help your friends and neighbours. Do only good things." Then he continued his way. The boy thought, "I will live my life by doing only good things." He built a bridge near the water and cleaned the bushes near the trees. Also, he swept under the trees. He did only good things. Believing he would die soon, he tried to do good deeds because he didn't want to die. Whenever there was a ceremony in his village, he always helped. He also lent a hand when his neighbors drove ox carts or fed their cows. He helped people when they went out to plow the fields. It had already been seven years. He was told, "Although you did many bad things before, you do only good things now. So you will live even after seven years. Your life will be okay." Then one of the field owners heard about him and gifted him a field. He let him work there for a living. The boy worked as a farmer and continued helping the villagers. Later, he became a rich man. He also had a beautiful wife. By helping the villagers, he lived a peaceful life in the village.
