He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.

Coconut king unveils ‘powers’ Tuesday, 09 August 2011 15:00 Touch Yin Vannith 0Share Sey Song scales a coconut tree, reaching 10 metres in the air, with his legs tightly bound by lengths of rope. Photo by: TOUCH YIN VANNITH In his village in Kandal province, Sey Song gnaws into a whole coconut using only his teeth; one of many ‘powers’ he says he’s been aware of since the age of 12. Photo by: TOUCH YIN VANNITH It’s a rare and exciting occasion to come across a person whose physical capabilities leave onlookers slack jawed, bewildered at the scene unfolding in front of them.
.
On the day The Post met Sey Song in his village, his demonstrations revolved largely around his skills with coconut trees and their fruit.
Two people tied his legs up so that each was bent into half its regular size. There were at least five tight loops of rope around each leg and yet Sey Song bounded up a coconut tree, at least 10 meters into the air – a sight that had the villagers who were watching screaming and shouting, some even ran off in fear. This climbing skill is also applicable to palm trees, says Sey Song.
“I tried the first time with a palm tree about 15 metres tall,” he said. “At that time, I did not feel afraid of it at all because I knew my ability obviously. I’ve now climbed in that style maybe 40 or 50 times already.”
And the stunt didn’t stop at just the climb. When he reached the top of the coconut tree, Sey Song then picked five of the fruit and managed to bring them all back down to solid ground. Onlookers commented that he did it with such ease that the heavy spheres seemed more like piles of “cotton fiber” the way he could handle them.
Sey Song’s delicate handling of the fruit didn’t last long though. With a group of people watching on, he then tore into the dense, furry balls – using only his teeth. Within minutes, and with juice splashing about his face, Sey Song had the husk completely peeled and ready for regular consumption.
The strange yet oddly intriguing skills Sey Song possesses haven’t always been received with so much enthusiasm by his neighbours though. He says that in the past they simply “laughed at him”. His wife wasn’t very impressed in the beginning either but has since come around to it having witnessed the continued success of his tricks. A humble man, Sey Song says he doesn’t display his skills in the hope of becoming well-known. He says it’s simply a personal challenge; pushing his body to new limits to prove to himself what he’s capable of, and perseverance is necessary.
“People who can do such things are people who are strong, but we have to be born with it and we have to practice frequently,” he said.
It seems Sey Song’s talent may run in the family, too, as he says his daughter was born with similar “powers”, though he wants her to discover and nurture them in her own time.
“Although my daughter can do it, I will not teach her about this. I want my daughter to do it herself.”
WHY DON'T YOU TEACH YOUR CHILD THE TRICT! SO SHE MAY IMPROVE AND ADD UP MORE TRICT! SO SHE WILL BE IMPROVE AND GET BETTER THAN YOU?
WRITE THE TRICT IF YOU CAN SO YOUR GREAT GRAND CHILD CAN BRING IT TO THE IMPOSIBLE!
DON'T HIDE AND WAST WHAT YOUR GRATED FOR NOTHING!
The richest people drink salty
water so they are always thirsty.
Two greedy things are so powerful:
money and power.
They could not take with them
when they passed away.
បុគ្គលគ្រប់រូប សម្បត្តិមាសប្រាក់យកទៅមិនបាន
សូម្បីខ្លួនប្រាណ គេសែងទៅដុត ឬ កប់៕
