Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there were a widow and her son in a village. The villagers sometimes bullied them because they were poor. The widow and her son owned one field. They farmed to earn a living. It was the time to grow rice and corns. It was already time to harvest them. And their field was nearby forest and ravines. So, wild beasts from the forest usually came to their field to eat food. One day, the son of the widow thought it shouldn't be anymore. So, he put fermented soybean on his body and lay down on the ground in his field. When the monkeys came to the field, they saw that a man who was lying on the ground. They thought that it might be a corpse since they got very bad smell from him. Actually, he was pretending to be dead. Then, the monkeys carried him and took him to their place. On their way, they had to go cross the ravines. After they had crossed some ravines, they reached their place. They took him into the cave where they lived. The monkeys were very happy since they could get a dead person. They were celebrating by taking out all the money and gold they had. While they were celebrating like that, the man shouted suddenly in the middle of them. They were so shock. They left all those gold and ran away quickly. Then, he took all those gold to his home. And he and his mother didn't need to do very hard work. They lived happily and wealthily. One of his neighbours who bullied him before heard that news and asked him "How did you get rich?" Then, he told all about him. That man said, "Okay. I will also do like you." The widow's son said, "If you want to do like me, you can't speak. Don't make any sound." The neighbour said, "Alright. I won't." And he also applied fermented soybean on his body and lay down in his field. When the monkeys saw him, they took him as they thought he was dead. On their way, they had to cross the ravines too. He knew that the monkeys were carrying him and took him somewhere. He wanted to know the place and sneaked a look. Then, he saw that the monkeys were carrying him above the ravines. He was so scared and forgot the fact that he couldn't speak. He said with fear, "Hold me tightly. Don't drop me!" As soon as he spoke, the monkeys were frightened and dropped him into the deep ravine. At last, the man who was jealous of the others was dead after falling into the deep ravine. That's why we shouldn't bully and take advantage over the other person. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi hta i ndai mare kahtawng langai kaw i gaida hkan nu nga ai da.
