Description:Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell is about an orphan and Lalawma (the name is given to the boys if the family has many sons). A long time ago, there lived an orphan and his grandmother. They didn't have enough rice. "We are going to die tomorrow." When they took a look at the basket, only a few rice seeds had left inside. "After having this, we will die tomorrow." The grandmother and orphan dried out the rice seeds. As a crow ate the rice seeds, the grandmother and orphan sobbed their heart out. "Suhhh! The craw. Don't eat our rice seeds! We will have this and die tomorrow," the orphan said. "Don't worry! Follow me!" the crow said. The orphan went after it and arrived at a tree. "Do you want to use a bamboo ladder or golden ladder or jade ladder to climb up the tree?" the crow asked. "We are poor. I will just use the bamboo ladder," the orphan replied. And he climbed up the tree with the bamboo ladder. "Do you want to eat on a gold plate or a bamboo plat?" the crow asked. "My grandmother and I are not rich. So, I will eat on the bamboo plate," the orphan answered. After that, the crow took him to its room. "Among these three boxes, choose the one you like!" the crow said. "We are needy persons. Thus, let me take this small one!" the orphan replied and lifted the smallest box. "Open this only when you get to the room of you and your grandmother!" the crow said. The orphan unboxed it in their room and found out it was full of gold. Thus, they became so rich. Afterwards, Lalawma's mother asked, "How did you and your grandmother make a killing?" The orphan also told her the whole story of how they became wealthy. Then the mother shared about it with her son, Lalawma. So, they put on an act that he dried out a few amounts of rice seeds. The crow also came and ate the rice seeds. "The crow. Don't eat our rice seeds!" Lalawma said. "Don't panic! Come after me!" the crow replied. And the crow brought him to a tree. "Do you want to climb up on a bamboo ladder or golden ladder or jade ladder?" the crow asked him. "I will use the golden ladder," Lalawma replied. "Do you want to eat on a bamboo plate or gold plate or jade plate?" the crow said. "I will choose the gold plate," he replied. After having a meal, the crow took him to a room. "Among these, choose one!" the crow said. Lalawma picked up the biggest one. "Unbox this when you get to your room!" the crow reminded. Lalawma also agreed and went back home. When he opened the box in the room, he saw a huge snake in it. At last, the snake swallowed all of them. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ngai hkai na maumwi gaw jahkrai ma hte lalaw ma a lam re.
