Long time ago, there lived a king called Reamea Thireach. He possessed tenfold qualifications of the king and reigned over Taka Seila kingdom. In that kingdom, there lived a poor couple. They could not afford even enough clothes and food. Poor as they were, they had never done any evils. One night there was a heavy downpour. While falling into a deep sleep, the wife dreamed that a hermit brought her three brilliant diamond rings and had them on her fingers.
Rousing from sleep, she woke up her husband and told him about the dream. Her husband suddenly went to a monk to tell him about this. The monk pulled out his slate and cast horoscope. Having thoroughly read and understood the writing on the slate, the monk said, "Don't worry about this; it's a good dream. Based on the horoscope, fortunate persons with great power are going to form their lives in your wife's womb." He added, "It also tells us that your wife has to avoid eating green mango." At home he told his wife about the horoscope and the abstention.
Talking about the fortune people who were forming their lives in their mother's womb, on the due date to be born, somehow an unfortunate thing caused the mother to have such a strong desire to eat green mango that she could not bear. Looking for a green mango, she found one and therefore climbed up the mango tree. At the fork in the tree, she fell off, her womb breaking. She suddenly passed away. Her broken bones were apart and there came a calf out of her perfect offspring called Preah Kor. After being born, Preah Kor ran here and there anxiously as if he was worried about something. Preah Kor was born with script books of formulas, some jewelry, and good meal - all of which were for the fortune people. The small bull galloped away from his mother's corpse running toward his father's house for fear that his younger brother, who could not be born yet, might be dead in his mother's womb.
At dusk, coming back from the wood, the man, his father, saw a good-looking small bull galloping toward the mango tree. Following the small bull, he found that his wife was lying dead on the ground. He carried his wife in his arm, cryinhg desperately. The small bull said, “Father! I could be born from mother, but my younger brother couldn’t.” His father pulled out the unborn baby Preah Keo from his wife’s stomach and bathed him. Seeing his plump, cute and lovely baby, the father was crying and simultaneously saying that, “Oh my son! Your mother was dead, so now you don’t have her breast milk to be fed. Your older brother can eat green grass and what about you? I don’t know who you can take the breast milk from?”
Next morning, his father carried Preah Keo and walked Preah Kor, roaming everywhere in search of a woman for breastfeeding. A villager asked, "Where is his mother?" The man clasped his both hands in respect and answered, "Oh my god! When I was away, my wife climbed up the mango tree because she wanted to eat mango.
Unfortunately, she fell off the tree and dies leaving a twin - one was a human and the other, a bull." The villager replied, "Oh! They must be very evil children; so don't try getting him breastfed? Go away! If you remain here, I'll break your head." With the threatening words, the poor man walked away with his children hopeless. He roamed from one home to another all day, but found no help. When he got back home, he laid his baby and dropped some water into Preah Keo's mouth and rushed to bury his wife's corpse. The fact that the man had one child as a human and the other as a bull surprised everyone in the village. They said that the man's family was an evil, so they sacked him from the village.
The villagers thought that the bull calf had soft bones and tender flesh - tasty. So some people were ready with rattan to tie up Preah Kor, others with long bar to carry, and the others with club to hit. When they got together, they shouted very loudly three times and surrounded Preah Kor closely like a fence. Preah Kor told his father that "Father! The villagers want to catch me; hold tightly to me. I will fly over this surrounding." Preah Kor tried his best to fly over it and fled away. Later, they were all safe and sound. Their father took them into the forest. They wouldn't dare return home. Preah Kor could have green grass to eat, while Preah Keo could get only drops of water rather than breast milk to survive. The man got Preah Kor to take care of his bother so that he could go to pick the ripen fruits to squeeze their juice for Preah Keo. However, he was not brave to go far. Such a living in the forest was very hard.
They wouldn’t dare build even a cottage. The man spent three years wandering in the forest. There were such big and bad tears in his clothes that he could no longer wear them. He used leaves as clothes to cover his body. One day, he reached a place where there was a big banyan tree growing near the forest and mountain. And lots of young cowboys were playing there. They shouted and chased one another happily in a nature of children. Preah Keo, seeing the boys playing happily, asked his brother to join them, but he was not allowed to do so, since his brother was afraid of the fact that the boys would hurt his brother.
One night, the young man lay thinking about the previous horoscope, the monk's prediction. He was wondering about the fact that he was predicted to have three children. What about the other child? Actually, he had the other child - that's Vedic Trai script book in the belly of Preah Kor. The man did not realize about this. In the morning, he brrought ripen fruits for his children and told them that, "If you want to play with other boys, you can, but you have to come back before dusk." In order not to make people suspicious of them, Preah Kor, like an ordinary bull , got his brother to tie him up with a vine, but warned his brother not to throw the vine over his back because so doing would make Preah Kor lose his power." The two brothers walked toward the tree where the boys were playing.Preah Keo tied his brother and came back to play with other young cowboys.
“Hey! Where are you from?” those boy asked when they saw Preah Keo. “I am motherless,” Preah Keo replied, “I have only father; I am homeless; I only live in the forest. Hearing that Preah Keo was motherless, all of the boys leaped to kick him mercilessly, making Preah Keo cery loudly, and Preah Kor, seing this, felt immense pity for his brother.
