Sagaing U Bo Thin - E Nyein Yeik Thar

Chapter (1)

The young prince Khanmauk was traveling alone on a black horse. Khanmauk came to a small forest and saw a girl sitting with a bundle of firewood...

The girl said this.

“Brother... please give me... a bundle of firewood....”

Khanmauk, without dismounting from his horse, said, "Your Majesty, the tree is not very tall, but it is tall."

"Please... I can't lift it..."

"Not your partner... not anything..."

“During your reign, the country was prosperous and there was no need for a companion... Come on, brother... I'll steal your money, I'll send you the flowers... Please help me...”

"Huh...huh...huh...what are you talking about, Ma U Ma Chut?"

"So please help me..."

Then the young prince Khanmauk got off his horse and placed a bundle of wood on the girl's head.

The girl said, "Thank you, I will send you... flowers... come whenever you want," and then she left, carrying the bundle of wood.

He wondered what kind of girl Khan Mauk was. That girl was very beautiful and graceful. Her body was well-built and her joints were well-developed. She was fit for a queen. However, Khan Mauk did not see the beauty of that girl.

Khanmauk always followed his mother's instructions and only saw the princess's words as directed by her mother. However, Khanmauk thought about this.

This girl said something strange: "I will release the first flower, but I will put a bundle of wood on her head." After putting the bundle of wood on her head, she said, "I will release the first flower." Her words were meaningful.

After thinking about it, Khan Mauk decided that he should think about the girl, so he rode his horse not far behind her and followed her. The girl, who was very poor, was sitting in the shade of the hut, having thrown a bundle of firewood over her head, and was sitting there exhausted.

Khanmauk approached the girl's house and, without even dismounting from his horse, asked:

"Sister... what you said is quite strange, I just thought about it..."

"What's so strange..."

"I'm quite surprised that you said you'd let the flowers bloom, even though women are very protective. Should you just say that when you're giving me a bundle of wood?"

“Oh... well... from my perspective and knowledge, yes...”

"What... please tell me..."

"I know for sure that the Lord will not ask for a flower just by seeing my body, my appearance, and my character..."

"Well..."

"I have a very good defense for this matter, because I have two or three men who have passed by me. I will not say that. I will not say, 'Please lift the bundle of wood,'"

"What protection do you get for saying that?"

"Ah... I guess..."

“Of course . . . ”

“Now, the monk U Wunna Daza from the E Nyein Yeik Thar has issued an order to the young monks. He is also following the order…”

"What order..."

"I guess..."

"Try telling me..."

"The bridegrooms shall not accept the offering of flowers from a woman who has been told by a man through a medium that she will offer flowers, nor shall they give the bride in marriage without the permission of the man to whom the offering was made. If she disobeys this order, she shall lose her bridegroomship..."

"Because of that order, I now have a lot of protection by saying that I will release Pan Oo."

"Oh.. I guess.."

Saying this, the young Khanmauk, without even asking the girl's name, gave her ten pieces of silver and left the girl's house. Khanmauk also thought about this.
