Consoling someone — Dialogue 1

បាត់បង់សត្វចិញ្ចឹម
ស្រីពេជ្រ៖ កុសល ម៉េចហ្នឹង? ដូចស្រងូតស្រងាត់ម៉េះ?
កុសល៖ ឆ្មាខ្ញុំ តាំងពីប៉ុន្មានថ្ងៃមុន ឈឺ។ ស៊ីអត់បាន ហើយចេះតែថ្ងូរ។ ដល់ព្រឹកមិញក្រោកឡើង វាងាប់បាត់។
ស្រីពេជ្រ៖ សត្វវាអីចឹងហើយ កុសល។ អាយុវាខ្លីជាងមនុស្ស អីចឹងវាត្រូវតែទៅមុនហើយ។ កុំពិបាកចិត្តអី កាត់ចិត្តទៅ។ វាក៏ឆាប់បានទៅចាប់ជាតិថ្មីដែរ។
