Description:Translation (Htoi Awng) Once upon a time, there was a couple in a village. They wanted to have a child, but they didn't have any children. So, they went to a banyan tree and asked a nat from that tree to bless them with a child. The nat blessed them and said, "You will have a son soon." They were so grateful and happy. A few days later, the wife was pregnant. Nine months later, she could successfully give birth to a baby boy. But the baby got no legs, hands or body. He got only head. They were sad when they saw their son. The baby was really cute and always smiling even though he had got only head. The parents felt pity for their son. So, they treated him very well. He could express what he wanted too. When he was about seven or eight years old, he told his parents, "Mom and Dad, I will go hunting today. Pack some cooked rice for me to eat, please." They said, "You shouldn't go, son. It's not okay for you to go hunting." He said, "No, I will go hunting. I can do it." They couldn't stop him and had to allow him to go hunting. They put him on the horse's back with a packed of rice. He got an animal. The next time, he told his parents, "Mom and Dad, I will look after the buffaloes and cows." His parents said, "You haven't got any legs or hands. How will you look after them?" But he said, "No, I can do it." Then, his parents had to allow him. They packed rice for him and hooked it on the horns. He could look after the buffaloes very well. When he grew up, he told his parents, "Mom and Dad, I want to get married. Can you ask the princess to marry me, please?" His parents were surprised when he said that. They said, "Nobody will like us, son." He insisted saying, "No, they will like us. Please, ask the princess to marry me." When they asked the princess to marry their son, the king was mad at them. They were upset and had to go back from the palace. The boy said, "It's okay, Mom. We will definitely get the king's permission to let the princess get married with me." Then, they went to the king and asked for permission again. The king said, "How can I let my daughter get married with a boy who hasn't got any legs and hands?" Then, the boy said, "Just give your permission. Let me marry the princess, please. On the wedding day, I will appear as a handsome guy." He made a promise. The king said, "Okay, I will give my daughter to you. But keep your promise! If you don't, I will execute you." On the wedding day, the boy turned into a handsome man. He had got hands and legs too. His parents were surprised and very happy for him. The king was pleased and agreed their marriage. In the end, they lived happily forever. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi kalang mi hta da ndai kahtawng langai kaw she ndai shan la gaw da shan la nga ai da.
