Description:Translation (Htoi San) This story is about how the cicada has no bowels. A long time ago, when God created humans and all his creatures, cicadas also had bowels and inner organs. One day, a squirrel plucked a fruit from a tree. The squirrel bit the fruit, which was called 'Lahpai fruit' and was round like a ball and big. The cicada made a sudden sound, "Hwi Hwi Hwi," and it was pretty loud that caused the squirrel to be shocked and drop the Lahpai fruit. That fruit fell from the top of a very tall tree onto an elephant's back which was finding food underneath that tree. When the fruit hit the elephant's back, it sounded, "Puk." The elephant was also surprised and upset by falling the lahpai fruit on him. So he ran away. When the elephant was shocked and ran, he stepped on a frog, and it caused the frog's bowels to be crushed out from its body. "Oh my God! You elephant, why do you step on me until all my intestines are out? You have to cure me," told the frog. The elephant said, "It is not because of me; it's me running because of the squirrel who threw the fruit on my back." "Oh! You squirrel, why did you do that?" asked the frog, and the squirrel explained, "Monkey made me shocked. I thought the Monkey jumped onto me, so I was shocked and dropped the fruit." "Oh, dear! You Monkey, Why did you jump without reason?" The Monkey answered, "The cicada made a sound that almost broke my ear. Therefore I was supposed to jump down the tree, but I jumped on the squirrel instead. So he let the fruit drop." As a result, there were no bowels in the frog; other animals said to the cicada, "You have to give back the intestines to the frog." Therefore, the cicada took out his bowels and gave them to the frog to cure him. All the creatures in the world have intestines and all the inner organs. But the cicadas do not have any organs because they need to give them back to the frogs. Transcription (La Ring) Ya gaw hkra pu nrawng ai lam hpe tsun na re maumwi hkra pu nrawng ai wa a maumwi.
