Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a man. He was stupid. One day, he went out to collect some grass for his buffaloes and cows. It was far away from his house. He collected grass for his animals. When it was getting dark, he thought of going home. He tied the grass into a large bundle and placed it on his shoulder pole. And he went back home. It was a heavy bundle of grass. He thought, "Why is it so heavy? Such a heavy bundle!" He was angry and looked at his grass bundle. He thought, "This is so heavy! I should hang something heavy on the other side of the yoke to balance the weight." He tied a big rock to the other side of his shoulder pole. And he continued carrying it. Then it made it heavier for him to carry. It was more difficult for him to carry, so he took a rest for a while on the way. At that time, an old man came towards him and asked him, "What are you doing?" He answered, "I am heading back home after collecting grass for my cows and buffaloes. It's really heavy, so I hang a rock on the other side to balance it and carry it. It makes it heavier. I don't know what to do." The old man said, "You are such a stupid man. If you divide your bundle of grass into two smaller bundles, it will be easier for you to carry. It won't be too heavy. So, throw the rock away and divide the bundle into two. Then hang one on each side. Then it will be easier for you." He said, "Okay." And he did as the old man said. He found it easier to carry, so he felt grateful to him. He told the old man, "Grandpa, where do you live? I will live at your house. I want to learn from you." The old man said, "You won't learn anything from me. At the moment, I'm traveling from place to place. So, you just stay here." He simply helped him divide the grass into two bundles and sent him home. This is the end.
