The Tale of the Two Sisters in Detail 

There were once two sisters that lived in town. The elder sister was named Proma and the younger one was called Ema. While the elder sister was loving and kind, the younger one was mean and unhelpful towards others.

Proma and Her Younger Sister Ema

One day, the sisters had an argument where Ema insulted Proma and called her names. This really upset Proma and she decided to visit the forest in order to calm down. On her way to the forest, she came across a banana tree that fell on the ground. When the tree asked for her help, she quickly came to the tree’s aid and helped it stand upright. Pleased with her kind and helpful nature, the banana tree gave a gift to Proma. The tree gave a small branch to Proma and told her that she will be awarded riches and clothes whenever she shook the branch. Proma was very pleased with the gift and went her way.

Proma Meets the Horse 

As she was continuing down the road to the forest, she saw a horse that was stuck in a trap set by a hunter. Seeing Proma there, the horse asked for her help. Wanting to save the horse, Proma broke the trap with the stone nearby and freed the horse. The horse was very grateful to Proma and gave her a parting gift as well. Moving on her way, Proma came face to face with a hermit praying in a castle. When she shared her story with the hermit, he asked her to drink a glass of water from the nearby pond. But he warned her to only drink a glass and not more. Proma did as she was told and drank the water. The water had magical powers and turned Proma into a beautiful young woman.

Proma Tells Her Younger Sister Everything 

When she came back home, Proma tells Ema about everything that happened to her. Ema too wanted to have all the riches and beauty in the world so she decided to go to the hermit herself. But when she was walking down the road, she didn’t help the banana tree or the horse. In fact, she was mean to both. Reaching the castle, Ema met the hermit and asked for a glass of water.

The Banana Tree

The hermit gave Ema the same warning to drink just one glass. But Ema was very greedy and drank more. As a result, she turned into an ugly lady. Very soon, she died of a broken heart and Proma married to live a happy life.
