They searched day and night, night and day, high and low they searched everywhere, but in vainឥតម្បភោជន៍ . Three of the generals returned, empty-handed. But the general who had gone north was determined not to fail his king. At last, he reached a cold mountain village. As he sat at the foot the mountain, an old woman came by and sat next to him. The general pointed at the horizonភជើងភមឃ and said, „ I belong to a beautiful kingdom, where it had not rained for a whole year. Can you help me find water? The woman motioned the general to follow her up the mountain and into a caveរូងភនំ.we have no water in our country either” she said.

At the break of dawn, the king found the farmers fast asleep around a hole. Curiousចង់ដឹងចង់ភឃើញ,, he peeped in and cried out in amazementអសាារយ: “wake up , my worthyែកដិែម men the water- seed has sproutedពនាក,there`s water in the hole” this is how the first well was created.

I don`t get rest for even a single minute” the mountain smiled. That is how you see it, but I get tired of standing here,” he replied “ every day I see the same trees and the same patch of sky. Sometimes I wish: if only I could run around like the river. I would visit new forests and villages. I would water their fields, give life, and be so deeply loved by all” the river interruptedផ្អាក, that`s strangeចស្មាក, your life is so comfortable and peacefulែនតិភ្លព, yet you feel this way. you don`t it, my sister.
