Phyo Thara - 38 Happy Stories for Children

Long ago, in a small village, there was a boy named Maung Ei. His father was a woodcutter. In the same village, there was also a boy named Maung Pyae. His father was a gold merchant.

In the village, there was only one monastery for education. So Maung Ei and Maung Pyae became friends while studying at the monastery.

Maung Pyae was the son of a gold merchant, so he had everything he needed. Maung Ei was very fond of this kind of life. Every time he saw one of Maung Pyae's toys, he wanted to have one too.

One day, Maung Pyae found an ivory Yamin statue. The little girl was very fond of the Yamin statue. So she asked Maung Pyae, “How much do you want to pay?” Maung Pyae said, “A hundred silver coins.”

“My father wouldn’t buy me a hundred pieces of silver because it was too expensive. So I secretly took out the silver that my mother had kept and took a hundred pieces of silver. My mother said, “You won’t know that I lost that much. I also went to buy the silver and the doll. I told my mother, “Uncle bought it for me as a gift.””

"Didn't your mother ask your uncle?"

"I didn't ask. I know that my uncle loves me very much. He also buys me toys and clothes from time to time."

Maung Ei was very disappointed with Maung Pyae's life. He couldn't even imagine buying a doll worth a hundred baht. Maung Ei was not happy with his life, and he was not happy with his father.

"Dad... buy me a Yamin doll from Maung Pyae. Give me a hundred baht," he said to his father, who was furious when he heard him say.

"You're saying it's impossible. You're an idiot," he said.

Maung Ei was angry with his father. He decided to buy that doll too.

Maung Ei started looking for the coins his mother had kept hidden from him. He found that there were exactly one hundred coins in total. This was because Maung Ei was going to the capital to enroll in a school next year.

Maung Ei, following Maung Pyae's example, stole a hundred baht from his mother. Then he ran to buy the doll. Maung Ei's father and mother were angry and upset when they found out that the baht had disappeared and that the doll had arrived.

His father, not daring to look at his younger brother, who was holding the Yamin doll, said, "Son, if you want a doll, don't continue your education. It's your destiny."

Then he realized that he had stolen his own education. But he could not undo his mistake. His father was getting old and could not find much money. Maung Ei could not continue his education in the city.

This is the result of Maung Ei, who got along with Maung Pyae, the stupid kid, kids.
