The Legend of the White Elephant and the King of Burma

a long time ago in a village in the Rangoon city of Burma there lived a therapist or laundry named U Nam. He is a smart and hard-working man. After years of hard work and as much as possible saving every penny of his income, he finally opened a new company. Indeed he was very diligent to work, so soon he was able to lift seven servants. In the village was also living a jar maker named U Tin. He is not only ignorant, but also lazy.

Thus, although he has worked for so long, neither has he become rich. Although his income is small but his money is always spent on drinking and smoking. Of course he remains poor, even though he has long worked as a jar maker. U Tin is not happy to see other people succeed in his life. Thus, when he saw U Nam had everything he did not have, he became very jealous of U Nam.

He started spreading vile stories about UNi's self. Sudan, of course, the story is all a lie. This jealousy of U Tin's self-indulgence will lead him to the white elephant legend of Burma. With the little money that usually U Tin like to buy drinks for those who want to listen to his nonsense. But the mercenary just laughed at U Tin's story. Therefore the jar hates it more and more against U Nam. He then thought how to get rid of his neighbor.

at that time the Burmese King had a large and gray elephant. But the King himself was anxious to have a great elephant whose skin was white. This is because of a belief shared by most Burmese people, that the white elephant is a sacred beast and only kings may own it.

Therefore the people of all corners of the country already know that anyone who can offer a white elephant to the king, will be given a very interesting prize. In the mind of the ignorant urn maker there arises a cunning reason to harm the Benalone. The story of Myanmar people's legend can be a lesson for us together. Then on the day he had planned, U Tin came to the King and told him, "Majesty, the whole country has come to understand that you want to have a white elephant.

Incidentally I know people who will be able to fulfill your dreams. He's a mason named U Nam. "" Everyone knows that he has a secret ingredient that can whiten anything, more than anything else. Therefore, I think it is not difficult for him to wash a gray elephant into a clean white elephant. Let this petty statue suggest to the king, that he do so on the orders of the king, "he added. The King's excitement was unexpected when he heard the unexpected story, which the jars had just said. Your Majesty loved that idea. Apparently, to have a white elephant, so simple way.

The story of the Burmese people continues to be more interesting thanks to U Nam's ruse. After thanking the maker of the jar, the King immediately ordered to summon the steward, U Nam, to immediately face the palace. U Nam did not believe what he heard, that he was needed by the King to do something. Who else can wash a gray elephant into a clean white elephant? Nevertheless he immediately knew who had caused great tribulation for him. But because he was a brilliant man, he calmly replied, "Sire, it is true that this servant is the best Benara in this country.

Wash a gray elephant to white, for a servant is not something difficult. But the servant is only a washerman, so washing an elephant is certainly the same as washing clothes. "" To do so, I need a very large jar, which can soak the elephant as long as the servant is washing it. I happen to know that in this country no one can make a jar so much, except for a jar maker named U Tin, "he added. The King was overjoyed when he heard that the person who could make the jug so great was U Tin, the Jar. In short, to get, the white elephant dreams of it would be no trouble. The king thanked the Tukang Benara for coming to him and immediately gave the jar to the palace.continued
