突然間來了一個好消息,化解了這幾年來的悲傷。

 

 

There was a piece of good news that could have resolved a sadness over the years.

 


 

 

【小故事01】尼泊爾的野象

 

  這是發生在尼泊爾的南部的一個真實小故事。有一個原始森林,那裏的村落附近有很多野象,平常村落都用鐵絲跟木頭圍成柵欄,以防野象進入。有一戶人家,有一天媽媽在工作,房子內有一個嬰兒在睡覺,突然有一隻野象衝入屋內,傷害了嬰兒,後來居民也將野象制伏。在這場意外後的幾年後,來了一個令人開心的消息,這個傷心的母親生下了一對雙胞胎,心情上慢慢平復(在這個村落裡,生下雙胞胎是很特別的,幾乎是沒有的)。奇妙的是,同年有一頭母象,也罕見地生下了雙胞胎寶寶。當地人都覺得,在他們村落,原本只生一胎的母親與母象,居然都生了雙胞胎,深信是當初的大象與嬰兒,又轉世回到了他們母親的身邊。

 

 

【小常識 01】

 

  在大象的生態裡,大象會生出雙胞胎寶寶很罕見,幾乎是沒有的。聽當地人說第一個在泰國,另一個發生在2008年的尼泊爾,就是故事中的大象。

 

 

 

【小故事02】

 

  在這個森林大象保護園區裡的大象,大象可以自由自在的生活,並在這個園區內活動,唯獨有一隻小象,牠的腳被綁住(牠其實不是被虐待)。原因:牠太頑皮了,老是去逗弄其他的小象與大象;其實牠只是想跟牠們玩,搞的整個園區大象與小象,都會對牠大叫(HO~HO~HO~)。所以管理員就把牠的一隻小腳綁在小木頭上。這個畫面很可愛。動物都有靈性,也有頑皮的一面。

 

 

 

 【The little story 01】The wild elephant of Nepal.


This is a true little story that happened in the south of Nepal. There was a village in an original forest where nearby had many elephants. Usually, the village was fenced with iron wire and wood to prevent wild elephants from entering. One day, a mother was working and the baby slept in the house. Meanwhile, a wild elephant broke into and hurt the baby. Later, the elephant was controlled by villagers. Years after the accident, there was a piece of good news that was the sad mother had twins and gave her a lot of comforts. (Having twins was special in this village and rarely happened.) Moreover, the wonderful thing was rarely that a female elephant also gave birth to a twin in the same year. In this village, a mother and an elephant, who had only given birth to one child, actually gave birth to twins. The villagers believed the babies were a reincarnation of the original ones' and back to their mother.

 

【Easy General knowledge 01】


Elephants rarely gave birth to twins in the ecology of elephants. It almost never happened. The locals said the first one happened in Thailand, and the other was in Nepal in 2008, which was the elephant in this story.

 

【The little story 02】


The elephants in the sanctuary in this forest can live freely and do activities here. Only an elephant cub was tied up. (Actually, it was not mistreated.) The reason is it was too naughty. It always teased other cubs or elephants; however, it just wanted to play with them. But the whole of elephants and cubs yelled at it (HO~HO~HO~). As a result, the manager tied up its one small leg on the wood. That scene was so cute. The animals have not only intelligent but also have a side of naughty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

【小故事 03】

 

  17年前,那一年當我們在旅遊的時候,就在前幾個月,發生了這一個故事,路上到處都是拿著武裝武器的軍人。

  當地(尼泊爾)的人們說著:我們國家本來有一個受人民愛戴的國王,國王在位的時候,大家生活無憂無慮。

  某一天晚上在王族宴會,王子(王儲)突然失去理智,瘋狂掃射全皇室,再舉槍自殺。(王儲=準備即將登基成為國王的預備人選)

 

 

傳說一:王子想要娶他心愛的女子,可是不被國王與王族接受,所以王子在宴會中殺了整個家族。

 

傳說二:其實是陰謀,是國王的弟弟設計了這一場悲劇。

 

 

  結局就是國王的弟弟變成國王,從此進入另一個時代,處處都可見到荷槍實彈的軍人,人民生活慢慢變得困苦,很多地方開始沒水沒電,人民開始陷入暴動、示威。幾年後慢慢平息,善良的人民被迫習慣困苦的環境,生活已經不比從前。

 

 

  在貧窮的環境下,他們唯一的希望就是湊足一筆錢(仲介費與機票),讓家裡其中一個男生,能夠去外國工作(但這些工作都屬於比較辛苦的勞工階級),他們會前往杜拜、馬來西亞、新加坡與香港等。一去可能兩年、三年,工作再續約可能又過了五、六年。

  當他們必須離開家鄉到其他陌生國家工作時,心愛的父母或家人,唯一可以做的,就是在他們的頭上點上蒂卡(Tilaka),希望他們受到神的保佑和祝福。

 

 

   

 

【小常識 02】

  有一種工作,叫傭兵,已有兩百多年的歷史。

  他們的選擇,就是去當傭兵,一次簽約15年。雇用傭兵的地方有新加坡、英國、以及曾經被英國殖民的印度、香港等,傭兵需有認定的條件,除了體格必須符合標準以外,還必須有廓爾喀(蒙古)的血統、驍勇善戰;當了傭兵以後,他的家人生活可以變得優渥,土房子變成二、三層的樓房,傭兵是用生命換取金錢。

  當他們要前往傭兵受訓時,他們的父母、家人,唯一可以做的,也會替他們在額頭上點上蒂卡(Tilaka。當點上蒂卡(Tilaka)的時候,臉上淚流滿面,心中充滿不捨,不知道下一次什麼時候再碰面...…

 

PS. 傳說廓爾喀族是蒙古大軍西征所駐留下來的部隊。

 

 

 

【The little story 03】


This story happened a few months ago that we were traveling 17 years ago. Everywhere were the armed soldiers.
Nepalese said, "We used to have a King, who was loved by the people. Everyone lives the life of Riley during the King's reign."
One night, the prince (the Crown prince) lost his mind at the banquet. He had the crazy shooting at the whole royal, and then he shot by himself. (The crown prince is the heir apparent to the throne in a royal or imperial monarchy.)

 

Legend No1, the prince would like to marry his loved woman; however, it was not accepted by the King and royalty. Therefore, the prince killed the whole family at the banquet.


Legend No.2, it was a conspiracy that the King's brother planned this tragedy.

 

Eventually, the King's brother became the King and had into a new era since. The armed soldiers were seen on the streets. Citizens gradually had lived in poverty and many places without water and power. People started riots and demonstrations. Kind people were forced to get used to hardship, and life was not as good as it used to be.

 

In this poverty situation, their only hope was that pool some money (Agency and a flight ticket fee) to let a male of the family go to the foreign for a job. (However, these jobs were all hard manual labor class.) They could go to Dubai, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. They had gone there might for 2 to 3 years, and it might be more 5 to 6 years after the job was renewed.


The only thing that their loved parents or family can do was to mark a Tilaka on their forehead when they must leave the house to other unknown countries for work. Hope blessing would follow them.

 


【Easy General knowledge 02】

There is a kind of work called a mercenary, which has been a history of more than 200 years.
Their choice is to be a mercenary and sign a contract for 15 years. The places where mercenaries are employed are Singapore, the United Kingdom, and had colonized by the UK of India and Hong Kong. The recognized conditions of the mercenary must have Gurkha blood and be strong as needed for the war. The life of their family will become munificent after being a mercenary. Soil houses will become two or three-story houses. Mercenaries are using life to exchange for money.
The only thing that their loved parents or family can do was to mark a Tilaka on their forehead when they go to training to be a mercenary. Tears were covering their faces while they were marking a Tilaka. They do not know when they will meet again next time.


PS. Gurkha is the troops left behind by the western expedition of the Mongolian army in the legend.

 

 

 

 

【小常識 03】蒂卡(Tilaka

 

點蒂卡是尼泊爾的傳統,通常用紅色的粉末和米粒揉成一團,點在額頭上,有祈福與祝福的作用。

遠行時,他們也會替對方點上蒂卡,所以在車站或機場,可以看到被送行的人額頭或印堂或頭上都有大有小、紅紅的蒂卡。

【小故事04】大象與象夫

 

  騎大象是殘忍的嗎?亞洲馴養大象有千年的歷史。大象馱運上百公斤的重木,像現代的卡車、起重機、拖吊車。對大象而言,載人比馱運重木相對輕鬆多了。

 

(1)這個工作應該沒有問題的,但是不能讓大象過勞。適當的工作量,讓大象載運旅客應該是可以的。大象與象夫的關係密不可分,有固定的收入可以溫飽。有些人說應該拒絕搭乘,換一個方面想,他們會減少這份微薄的收入。而且觀光客喝完的椰子殼,也可以供大象食用。搭乘大象走進森林,比搭汽車更環保。

 

(2)如果他們沒有收入,象夫也沒有辦法照顧大象。就算把大象放回現在的森林,對於大食量的大象,是沒有辦法生存,因為現代森林被人類嚴重破壞,這時大象又會離開森林,出現在人類的農田上,破壞農作物……,又是一個失去平衡的循環。

【The little story 04】Elephants and Mahouts


Is riding elephants cruel? Domestication of elephants has been for thousand years in Asia. Elephants carry the wood of many hundred kilograms as contemporary trucks, cranes, and tow trucks. Carrying people is much easier than wood for elephants.


(1)This job should be fine but could not be overworked to elephants. The appropriate workload of carrying people should be fine for elephants. Elephants and mahouts are inseparable; moreover, having a steady income. Some said it should be refused to ride, but on the other hand, mahouts would reduce this meager income. Elephants also can eat the coconut's outer after tourists finish the coconut. Entering the forest by riding elephants is more eco-friendlier than taking vehicles.


(2)If mahouts did not have income, they can not take care of elephants. They can not survive if releasing those elephants eating a lot back to the forests of now. Because forests now are seriously damaged by humans; meanwhile elephants leave forests again. Then, they will appear on the farms and damage the crops. This is a cycle of losing balance again.
