Description:Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, a king ruled a kingdom. The king was very strict about the rules in his country. An alcoholic, who drank liquor all the time and did not work, lived in that country. One day, a king from another kingdom gave a letter to the king from the alcoholic man's realm. "Let's compete for the most intelligent person from your kingdom and my kingdom." "If the wisest person from my country loses, I will hand over my country. If you lose, I will take your country." The challenged king wrote to the king from the kingdom where the drunkard man lived, so he was so worried, and he could not sleep and eat well. The king asked his advisors. "Alright, who wants to compete in this match?" asked the king. But no one responded as they were scared. Therefore, the king sent his men to announce this in his country. Tomorrow would be the competition day, so the king publicized the country that one person had to come from one household. Thus the people came the next day. The king from the other kingdom also came there and brought the intelligent people. They put a chair on the other side and another chair for the king on this side. They planned to compete face to face. "Alright, Let's start!" When the announcer started the contest, the most intelligent man from the other country came and sat on the chair. The king's chair from the drunkard man's country had no one dared to sit there. The people asked each other who could compete, but they passed to each other as they did not want to take the risk. At last, when no one dared to participate, the alcoholic man stood up and said, "If there is no one brave, I am brave." Then he walked towards the king's chair and sat in a dragging manner. His king could not remove and chase him away. "Let it be him as no one comes. If he can talk, it will be fine," said the king from his country. After sitting, he said, "Okay, it begins now." The wise man from another country asked him first without talking. That wise man showed the sign as hitting his heart with his fit for his first question. The first time, second time, and third time, he struck clearly without saying anything, and he tested like this. When the wise man hit himself three times, the drunkard man thought, "Oh, you think when you drink alcohol, your chest is hot. You asked me this. It is not only chest hot." Then he struck both sides of his chest and back. The wise man from another country was shocked and said, "Finished, this man is so intelligent, and I lost this round." Then he asked for the next turn. The wise man stretched out his arm showing his five fingers. The drunkard translated, "Aww, you are asking me that I can drink five bottles, right?" "Not only five bottles," he replied without a word but showing ten fingers. The wise man from another side was surprised. The actual meaning of the wise man's question for stretching out five fingers was, "Does your king rule your country with the five king's law?" The alcoholic man, showing his ten fingers, meant, "Not only five, but he also rules with ten laws." Then the other side lost the competition, and the drunkard man won. The king praised the drunkard man and gave half of his kingdom to him as well as the king's power and many mammon to him.
