Golden Peacock - Male

Chapter (1)

One evening, a group of young Burmese people were drinking tea and chatting happily at the National Tea House on Seikkantha Road in Yangon. | The tea house was a little more expensive than other Chinese tea houses, but it was decorated in a very elegant manner. On the one hand, the owner and his wife were very polite. On the other hand, many officials from the High Council and the Secretariat praised the tea house, making it a very clean and tidy tea house.

Although these clerks work alone, they meet frequently in the amusement park, so all the customers laugh and chat with each other like old friends.

On the evening we are describing, a group of about six young men were sitting at a large stone table in a corner, talking about football, and then they turned to the subject of cinema, one of whom was a cinematographer.

"The actor, Maung Than Nyunt, is an English-speaking actor who has appeared in famous films." As soon as they talked about the movie, he was the only one who was hired and was talking. At that time, a movie called Than Latt, which was being shown at the Oranmore Theater, was so popular that it had been showing for four weeks, but it was still crowded and could not be sold out. The main character in that movie was Maung Than Nyunt. The main character in that movie was a respectable father and son, who secretly broke into houses and opened safes with the latest weapons and equipment. Maung Than Nyunt was talking about the qualities of a thief who could open a safe, so that it was a praiseworthy thing. Those who heard it also heard Maung Than Nyunt talking about it every evening, so they listened with pain in their ears, when a man about thirty years old entered the store.

The young men in the circle were looking at him, and they were calling him to come to the party, but the man who came in next seemed to be a popular man in the party. This young man was a tall man, with a big body, and although he was not as handsome as the protagonist, he was a man of great stature, and he was a man of great strength, and everyone who saw him could be sure that he was the kind of man who would never do anything wrong or behave in a dirty manner.

After passing the IA exam, Maung Tin Myint was working as a clerk in the Ministry of the Interior when his parents died. When his uncle, who was a bachelor, died and inherited more than one hundred thousand, he resigned from his job and lived comfortably on interest. Maung Tin Myint was a generous person even when he was a clerk. Other clerk friends used his house as a place to eat and drink, and clerks who lost horse races would stay at his house for five or ten days. Maung Tin Myint's salary was only 150 kyats, but since he was a young man and did not like gambling or drinking, he could feed and take care of his friends who ran away from home. He could also lend five-kyat and ten-kyat bills to those in need, so all the clerks loved him like a brother.

Maung Tin Myint was always ready to do good to others and to say kind words, but he was a strong and manly man. Once, when the Pa Kyaw people came to Rangoon and were showing off in Manila, there was a very good boxer among them. This boxer was so famous throughout the Eastern countries that no one dared to fight him, so the manager of the Manila show advertised that anyone who could fight him three rounds without being knocked down would be given a reward of 100 kyats. Maung Tin Myint had been a first-class boxer when he was a schoolboy and had not fought for a long time, but it was a shame for the whole nation that no Burmese should be left out of the limelight by such a boastful and arrogant advertisement. He didn't want to be beaten, so he went out to fight a boxer. Although Maung Tin Myint was afraid of being hit by a punch, he was brave and courageous. He was also a skilled fighter. He had won a 100 kyats prize after three rounds of punches and kicks. The manager was so impressed with his skills that he offered him 500 kyats a month if he wanted to make a living as a boxer, but Maung Tin Myint refused.

When Maung Tin Myint entered, the people drinking tea in the picnic area invited him over, and Maung Tin Myint sat down in a chair with a slouched posture.

One..“When did Ko Tin Myint return from Mandalay?” | Another.. “ Your face is so pale, what happened ?” Another..“You must have been very tired of the Taung Pyone Festival.”

They greeted each other and asked questions.

Myint..“What are you talking about?” | One..“We shouldn't talk about it,

This is just Than Nyunt talking about a contract. The way he says it, a person who can break into someone's house is a real genius...

Myint.. "Why is it so hard to break into a house? If you have both hands and feet, you can get in."

Nyunt.. “It’s easy to say, sir, but hard to do.”

Myint.. "I'll break in, what do you bet?"

"You're a fool ." "Don't be a fool, man. If he bets, you'll get the lottery ticket ."

Nyunt.. "I dare to bet." Myint.. " What will you bet?"

Nyunt..“You want to bet ..“Okay... Do this, Ko Tin Myint will have to break into every building tonight. The loser will have to feed the five of us here at the Continental Hotel for dinner.

"High.. ' Look at the diamond."

Nyunt..“You will lose, don't do it” | Hik..“You are not a fool, he will lose

"He will feed you, won't you dare to bet?"

Nyunt.. “I have a diamond, please bet.”

After that, the friends exchanged other words, and then, as they were about to part,

When they warned Tin Myint about the bet.... one... "How can you prove that you are a fraud?"

Myint.. "I think the door I broke into will have my initials TM written on the inside."

Nyunt: "I like it... Diamond" After that, the friends left the party and dispersed.
