Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a village. There was a family at the edge of the village who knew how to warmly welcome guests. They were poor. However, they always warmly welcomed guests. One day, a guest visited their family. They cooked sticky rice and chicken for the guest. They prepared a bed for him at night, and the guest slept comfortably. Early the next morning, the guest left the house, but the family didn't even notice when he left. The family cooked rice for the guest without disturbing his sleep. After preparing breakfast, they went to wake him up, but he had already left. They were puzzled and said, "Where did he go?" When they looked at the bed, they found it covered with gold. The guest blessed them with gold because they had welcomed him warmly. Then the family living at the entrance of the village asked them, "How did you get so much money?" They explained to them, "Because we warmly welcomed the guest." Then the family living at the entrance of the village said, "We can also welcome that guest. We want to get rich." Soon, they had a guest at their house, as well. The husband said, "My wife, we have a guest. Let's kill a chicken and cook it for him." But his wife complained and nagged him irritably. She said, "What chicken? Why do you want to treat him? Kill one, but just a small chicken." He killed one chicken and cooked for the guest. Soon, he asked his wife, "Do you have any sticky rice and eggs?" Then she shouted, "What sticky rice and eggs! Do you want dung and mouse waste?! Why do you ask for those foods?!" He said sarcastically, "To make the funeral feast." She didn't want to feed anything to the guest. Then she replied, "Make the funeral food!" The next morning, the guest had left. When they went to the guest room, they found that it was full of coffins. Their house compound was also full of animal waste. Like the Bible describes, we also have stories that show how blessings can be received. We will be blessed if we warmly welcome any guests or relatives who come to our home. If we treat them badly or speak to them harshly, we will receive only bad things in return. Our elders teach us those lessons through stories. Transcription (La Ring) Moi shawng de e mare langai mi nga ai da.
