Translation (Gun Mai) A long time ago, there was a king who ruled a big country. He was a very rich king, had a good and happy life, an educated and a good king. Thus, in order to praise and worship God, the king wanted to build a big temple of God in a place where not very far from and nearby the palace of the king. Because he wanted to build the temple, he asked to made bricks in the forest and did necessary things and the king was building a big temple of God. When the king was building the temple, there were cattle, buffalos, and horses that were used to carry the bricks. There was also a man who lived nearby the place where the bricks were made. The man said to himself that "The cattle might be very tired and thirsty as they have to carry the bricks to build the temple of God." Thus, the man every day provided water to the cattle and horses that carried the bricks during the temple was being built. Then, the king spent a lot of money and finished construction of the big temple of God. The bricklayers said that "This temple is built by the king of this country," and they wrote the name of the king. Not to be able to remove easily, they also branded on the temple. They wrote the name of the king, the figure of the cost, the year, how much the temple was strong, and everything. But, when they looked again, the name of the king was not used to stick and last, and the name of the man who used to provide water to the horses and was doing a farm in the forest appeared on the temple. "It is nonsense," the bricklayers said. So, they cleared completely the name of the man who provided water and wrote again the name of the king. But, soon after, the name of the king was disappeared and the name of the man who provided water and was doing a farm ppeared again. Thus, the king was thinking to himself that "I built this temple as I spent my money. Although my name was written, it is not last and disappearing. Why does it happen? Does someone erase my name or how it happens?" The king was thinking a lot himself. But, the king was aware that the name was not erased by someone and it was disappearing itself. Since the name of the man was just used to appear on the temple, the king investigated about the man. "Where the man is from?" the man searched the man until he found him. Finally, the king found the man and asked that "Man, what are you?" The man answered that "I am nothing. I am just a man who is doing vegetable farm. But, when I was doing farm, the cattle and the horses were carrying bricks and very tied so I was pitied of them and provided water to them, King." The king then said that "Very good. I will call you to stay with me and let's stay with me at my house well." Then, the king brought the man and his family to his palace and the king provided food, house, and clothes and let them stay happily in the palace. After the king provided the man so, when they went to the temple, the name of the king was appeared including how much it cost and when the temple was finished. Thus, how it happened was that "God is not easy. He follows the truth." The king just built the temple because he had money but the man who was not an important person and was just doing the farm provided water to the cattle because he pitied the cattle. So, God put the name of the man meant God wanted the man to live happily. Even the temple was labeld as built by the man. So, the king took care of the man. So that, the name of the king appeared. What the story told us was that the king built the temple but his name did not appeared and only the name of the man who provided water the cattle appeared but after the king took care of the man, the name of the king appeared. Since God is was truthful God, he took care of those who worked for him. Although the king did for him something, he was already a rich king. The man was very poor so God wanted him to get a happy life. So, the man was arranged to live in the palace and lived happily. Therefore, the story is that we also should work willingly in the works of God. The story is ended here.
