Description:Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, a boy called Ngaw Naw Ja and a girl named Nawhpwi Ja Hpa lived in a village. Nawhpwi Ja Hpa did not want to marry rich men, although they greatly liked her. So she announced to choose her life partner by beating drums. When Ngaw Naw Ja heard the drums beating, he went out and saw what was happening. While standing in the dancing place, Nawhpwi Ja Hpa returned from the Manau dance and brought Ngaw Naw Ja home. The rich men from their village called Ngaw Naw Ja to do trading, "Let's go for trading." On the way for business, the rich men exchanged their coats and silver sword with Ngaw Naw Ja's chopper basket and his clothes. The rich men returned to their homes and told Nawhpwi Ja Hpa, "I am sorry to say that your husband Ngaw Naw Ja passed away on the way." They showed Ngaw Naw Ja's clothes and said, "These are his shirts and pants." Therefore Nawhpwi Ja Hpa moved to another place since her husband Ngaw Naw Ja did not come back home. Ngaw Naw Ja came back home dragging cows after doing business. He put the cows outside of the house and went into the room. When he did not see his wife, he called, "My dear Nawhpwi Ja Hpa, where are you?" "She moved to another place to change her marriage," someone replied to him. He went in front of the house, sat on a paddy mortar, and then played the flute. He played the flute for seven days. On the seventh day, Nawhpwi Ja Hpa went back home and found her husband, "Oh, My lovely husband Ngaw Naw Ja." "Stop playing the flute." She said to her husband and took the flute from him. At the same time, Ngaw Naw Ja made a sound, "Hpyaw," and then he passed away. Nawhpwi Ja Hpa held the body of Ngaw Naw Ja and wept for seven days. On the seventh day, Nawhpwi Ja Hpa also passed away. Village people buried them in the same place. A tree called 'Pan Yawn Doi' (a kind of mint with small sweet leaves) grew out from one place where the two couples were buried. Another plant called 'Pan Tsun Pan' (a sweet-scented kaempferia plant) grew from another plant. Here is the end of the story.
