U Aung Thein Myat - Myanmar Traditional Humorous Stories No. 3

Become a human, become a monkey

"Save me, Lord of the Golden Palace, save me, Lord of the Golden Palace"

The entire palace was filled with cries. Some of the maids ran to the king, crying.

The king was released and was about to be sentenced.

"My daughter, while taking a bath, actually turned into a monkey, my God."

The sound of shouting, bang bang bang,

"Heh.. heh... try uploading again"

"Your daughter has turned into a monkey where she used to bathe, God, please save her."

The second statement of the Supreme Patriarch cannot refute the first statement. It only confirms it. Therefore, the case is postponed.

The king himself accompanied his daughter to the Emerald Palace to visit.

Even though princes from all over the world came to meet her, she shook her head and refused. She was a daughter who was praised by everyone who saw her, saying that she was beautiful and well-mannered.

Instead of the princess, a monkey sits on the golden throne. The monkey is also weeping like the concubines and the queen mother. She is dressed in the usual clothes of the princess. She is adorned with jewels. She is adorned with a pure flower.

"If you don't feel better, my daughter?"

Then, “Have mercy, O King,” the queen cried. “Do you still dare to see your daughter’s condition, O King?”

The sound coming from the monkey was his daughter's voice.

The king could no longer refuse to accept that this was his daughter.

"Please tell me how it happened, my dear child."

It's a joy in the midst of sadness. I don't expect that humans will ever be able to speak since they have become monkeys. When a sound like this comes out, even though we can't see it, we can still hear it, right?

I asked happily, even with this joy in my heart.

"I went into the room to use the bath water that the attendants had prepared and my daughter took a bath, Father. I rubbed my knees, hands, and face, and thought that some dirt would get on my hands from the sink on the counter. But the hand I was about to rub was covered in hair. My daughter was also frightened and looked at her arm and saw hair. She also looked in the mirror. My dear.. The monkey screamed and my daughter fainted, Father, how could I not?"

The monkey, kneeling on the ground, hugged the king and cried.

The king also comforted the lost one by caressing his head.

"Don't worry, daughter. Father will heal you, both from the lower and upper paths. May you be happy and always be happy."

After consoling him, he asked the abbot.

"I'm trying to post a picture of you, Ma'am."

"Your daughter, hearing the sound of your little one screaming, did she just slip and fall? Did she just see a frog flying? I ran away worriedly. I couldn't find my mother in the bathroom, Buddha. I saw a big monkey lying curled up in front of the mirror, Buddha."

"Oh, that's your daughter."

"However, judging by the robe she was wearing, the ornaments she was wearing, and the pure flower she was wearing, I thought she must be your daughter, so I carried her into the palace."

The king nodded and listened, then spoke more words of encouragement and returned from his daughter's palace.

He called the wise sages before him and consulted them. | The wise men also said that people become monkeys only because of witchcraft, ghosts, witchcraft, and magic. They urged them to seek treatment from the above-mentioned teachers.

So, he summoned the great-grandfather, father, grandfather, mother, and grandfather, one by one. He showed his daughter. Can she be cured?

If he were the son of a poor man, he would deceive him. But they would not dare to do it to the king. He could be punished at any time. That is why they honestly confessed. They could not do it, my lord. The king summoned the best and most skilled sorcerers. They did not dare to deceive him. They did not dare to lie. They only told the truth. They could not be cured, my lord.

The words of the doctors who treat with herbal medicine are clear.

"If there is no disease, it cannot be cured, Lord. Your daughter's incident is too strange to imagine, Lord."

The King's hopes dwindled day by day, month by month.

Finally, there was only the announcement of the gong.

If even the most famous people shake their heads, what difference will it make if they are fried? Despite the desire, despite the desire, it is hope.

There are experts in the art of leaf-cutting in every town and village. They come out because they hear about it, because they know about it, and it's a vague hope that they will be able to do it.

"My dear fellow citizens...

"The king's daughter has been afflicted with a strange disease, and whoever can cure her will be given half of his wealth and be given the title of royal courtier."

The king's half-brother was a very important person, so people were salivating. The king's gong did not indicate any illness, so the elderly, middle-aged, and young people came to him.

"Can you turn a butterfly into a human, or a human into a butterfly?"

The king's physician's question.

"You're not capable of that."

"If you can't do it, come back." On the third day, the young man, exhausted and exhausted,
