A young man, Ko Ba Yei, and a girl, Ma Me Kha, lived in the same village. In the evening, as soon as the moon rose in the sky, the young man invariably came to the girl’s house and silently sat down near the loom on which she was spinning. He was very shy and did not start talking about the fact that he liked the girl. Three years passed like this. Ma Me Kha realized that the young man would never dare to tell her about his feelings, and decided: let me start the conversation myself. Maybe it will be easier for him to continue.
- Ko Ba Yei! - she said. “I have a beautiful flower garden in my house, and magnificent flowers are blooming there now.” But there is no one to look after them, no one to rejoice at them.
She hoped that Ko Ba Yei would offer his services. But that was not the case. The young man, not understanding her hint, replied:
– If it’s so difficult for you to care for them, take them and cut them off.
