Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Now, I am going to talk about an elephant. Once upon a time, there were many wild elephants. The group of wild animals moved together. They always moved in groups. One day, a beautiful calf was born. The beautiful calf was born. The whole group stayed near the water. They were overjoyed when they saw water. They were playing in the water with their trunks. They were showering each other. They were playing water happily. One day, the villagers, who were from the nearby village, set up the elephant trap to catch wild elephants. The elephants were not aware of the traps in the forest. When the villagers played the gong loudly, the elephants were scared and ran away quickly. The villagers played the gongs and cymbals loudly to drive the elephants into the forest. The elephants kept running because they were frightened. They ran into the forest, where the villagers set the traps. The baby elephant was caught in the trap. The villagers could catch the baby elephant. They took it to the village. Other old elephants, that were caught could pull the trees and work, whereas the baby elephant couldn't work yet. It was so beautiful that many people praised its beauty. Everyone praised its beauty. The chiefs also praised its beauty. One day, a chief bought it. The chief thought the elephant was gorgeous, so he did something. He decorated it with many baskets and rode it to the market. He took it around the market. The elephant was living happily with the chief. It grew older after many years. The chief showed dislike for the elephant when it grew old. So he tried to sell the elephant. He thought to sell it to the woodcutters. In the end, he sold it to the woodcutters. They worked somewhere near the water. They worked near the water. The child of the woodcutter became attached to the elephant since it was really beautiful. One day, the child rode the elephant and went to his father, who was working near the sea. At that moment, big waves were hitting the beach strongly. Many children who were playing on the beach were dragged by the waves. Many kids were dragged by big waves. The elephant thought it was still as strong as when it was young. So, it saved the children one after another back and forth. When it went into the water to save the last child, it drowned and died. The elephant always heard praise such as that it was beautiful and strong when it was young, so it definitely thought it would be strong, although it got old. In the end, it died since it couldn't use its strength. Transcription (Lu Hkawng) Ya ngai tsun na gaw Magwi a lam re, moi shawng de da, nam Magwi grai law hkra nga ai da.
