A Cambodian adaption from Snow White via Wikipedia
Once upon a time… the queen gives birth to a baby girl who has skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony. They name her Princess Snow White. As soon as the child is born, the queen dies.
Soon after, the king takes a new wife, who is beautiful but also very vain. The Queen [read, Dictator Hun Sen] possesses a magical mirror [read, Vietnam], an animate object that answers any question, to whom she often asks: "Mirror, mirror on the wall / Who in the land is fairest of all?" [read, Who in Cambodia is the strongest of all?”] to which the mirror always replies "You, my queen, are fairest of all." But when Snow White reaches the age of seven [read, Sam Rainsy in 1995 as founder of opposition party], she becomes as beautiful as the day, and when the queen asks her mirror, it responds: "Snow White is the fairest of them all." [read, “Sam Rainsy is the most popular/competent politician of them all.”]
The queen becomes jealous, and orders a huntsman [read, Hok Lundy, Heng Pov et al] to take Snow White into the woods to be killed [read, 1997 Easter Massacre]. Instead, he lets her go, telling her to flee and hide from the Queen.
In the forest, Snow White discovers a tiny cottage belonging to a group of seven dwarfs where she rests. Meanwhile, the Queen asks her mirror once again "Who's the fairest of them all?", and is horrified to learn that Snow White is not only alive and well and living with the dwarfs, but is still the fairest of them all.
Three times the Queen disguises herself and visits the dwarfs' cottage while they are away during the day, trying to kill Snow White. Finally, the Queen makes a poisoned apple, and in the disguise of a farmer's wife, offers it to Snow White. She eats the apple eagerly and immediately falls into a deep stupor. When the dwarfs find her, they cannot revive her, and they place her in a glass coffin, assuming that she is dead.
Time passes, and a prince traveling through the land sees Snow White. He strides to her coffin. The prince is enchanted by her beauty and instantly falls in love with her. He begs the dwarfs to let him have the coffin. The prince's servants carry the coffin away. While doing so, they stumble on some bushes and the movement causes the piece of poisoned apple to dislodge from Snow White's throat, awakening her. The prince then declares his love for her and soon a wedding is planned.
The vain Queen [inept Dictator Hun Sen], still believing that Snow White is dead [read, Sam Rainsy dead politically], once again asks her mirror who is the fairest in the land, and yet again the mirror disappoints her by responding that "You, my queen, are fair; it is true. But the young queen is a thousand times fairer than you." [“Sam Rainsy is still a thousand times better / more popular than you.”]
Not knowing that this new queen was indeed her stepdaughter, she arrives at the wedding, and her heart fills with the deepest of dread when she realizes the truth. As punishment for her wicked ways, a pair of heated iron shoes are brought forth with tongs and placed before the Queen. She is then forced to step into the iron shoes and dance until she falls down dead.

khmer people never change and live on fantasy land, what a brainless people. It's hard to believe khmer with this mentality built the great temple ankor wat. Wake up idiot before you clean youn toilets in your own land.
Yuon will drop his dog Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy will be a new dog ?
Khmer Demo, your hatred is so great, your bad wish and cruelty is much worst than HS. If you get your wish and you become the ruler of a country, your dictatorship and cruelty will not be less than Pol Pot. If every so call Khmer nationalist are like this, may God have mercy on Cambodia, we may see another blood bath Cambodia when the opposition take power.
This fairy tale is intended to entertain American children at school.

“We may see another blood bath in Cambodia when the opposition takes power.”
And who will cause the blood bath to happen? He is the power hungry HS, of course – the man is so strong he can make the sky falling on Cambodia. But he is a pussy against his neighbors.

I agree with you on that. It is the same pattern.
Who did cause the blood bath to happen before the KR took over?
It was, then, the strongman
Sihanouk yelling from Beijing.
“This fairy tale is intended to entertain American children at school.”
Yes it is. But do you understand the moral in the tale?
If not, your IQ is below the American children at school.
