A young boy named Tum lived with his single mother in a

province of Baphnoum. When the time came, his mother sent
Tum to became a Buddhist monk at Vihea Thom pagoda then he
met monk Pich. They both became close friend. Both of them
have knowledge of magic, smot, blowing, and selling. One day,
they asked the inspector to sell the Tork. Tum and Pich sold
until Tbong Khmum district. Tum sang beautifully, which
surprised the people of Tbong Khmum to came and listened.
Noh is a servant of Teav’s house and she saw Tom was
handsome and had sweet voice. When she came back home,
Noh told Teav everything. Teav heard this news, she was very
excited and begged her mother to invited Tum to Smoat
performance at her house. Teav watched from behind a curtain
as she was prohibited from being seen because she was
undergoing the practice of “ Chaul Malub”. Teav fell in love
with Tum and prepared a bag of barley, Slamlou for Noh bring
to him and wish to meet him. Tum also fell in love. When all of
the Tork was sold out, monks Tum and Pich proceeded to return
to the pagoda. Tum couldn’t stop thinking about Teav. He
discussed with Pich about quit the monkhood and became an
ordinary citizen even the inspector didn’t agree. He and Pich set
out on a journey to see Teav. Tum went to Teav’s house without
Pich. Teav’s mother wasn’t home at the time and they stayed
together until midnight. Later, Orchun, the governor of Tbong
Khmum province, He got engaged Teav to his son name Mern
Nguon. Meanwhile, The King of the Royal Palace of Longvek
heard the news about Tum and Pich had talented in the Thbaung
Khmum district. So he ordered to go and bring Tum and Pich to
the palace. He liked Tum so much and granted him an official
rank of Meun Ek. After then the King became bored and wanted
another wife. The Royal servants set out a journey to found a
beautiful girl for the king and touched Teav that make Teav’s
mother very happy then they brought Teav to the palace. When
Tum and Teav met each other at the palace. Tum was very
nervous and upset and he sang everything that made the King
marry Tum and Teav as a couple at that time. This made Teav's
mother very upset, so she hurried back to her hometown and
tried to forge a letter to tell Teav that she was seriously ill.
Upon heard the news, Teav came to see her mother at home and
was forced to married with Mern Nguon. Desperate, she wrote a
letter to let Tum knew. When Tum received the letter he went to
told the King about that situation. The King was equally upset
and gave Tum an official letter designed to stop Oar Choun.
When Tum arrived Teav’s house, he lost consciousness, drank
too much, and hugged Teav in front of all the guests which
made Teav's mother angry so she rushed to caught Tum and
killed him under the Po Cheung Karl tree. Pich brought this
unfortunate news to the king. When Teav knew that her husband
was killed. She found Tum’s body and she committed suicide
near him. Also, Noh took her own life near Teav. After the king
heard the news from Pich , he became furious and came to the
court and arrested Orchun ,Mern Nguon and Teav's mother,
buried them alive and took the rake over their heads, while the
citizen of Tbaung Khmum were becoming the workers or
labelled as “Neak Ngear”.
 Alternatively, But I want to change the ending of the story.
First, when Tum received the letter from the king, he hurried
back to Tbong Khmum province. When Tum arrived at the
wedding venue he read the letter to Everyone in there. After
Tom finished reading the letter, everyone didn't believe him that
it was a true letter, so Tom was handed over to Teav's mother.
When she finished reading the letter and saw the king's signature
then they confirmed that letter was true, so she decided to end
the wedding. At the same time, Teav's mother accepted Tum as
her legal son-in-law Although Mern Nguon and Ak Choun didn't
satisfied, Teav's mother decided to choose Tum according to the
king's letter, and both of father and son didn't dare to oppose the
king's ordered.
1week after then Tum and Teav returned back to Palace and
lived together peacefully.
And 5 months after everything was over, Teav had a cute
baby boy name Tan Tan. Tan Tan is a smart and handsome boy
who is loved and respected by everyone, even the king. When
Tan Tan was 15 years old, the king handed over the throne to
Tan Tan to managed after him because he was sick. In the end,
they all live happily ever after.
