Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story is about a widow and her son. There were once a widow and her fatherless child in a village. They had only one buffalo. The son looked after that buffalo. One day, he exchanged the buffalo with five peas while his mother was working on the farm. When the mother came back, she was angry and scolded him, "How could you think to exchange those five peas and a buffalo?" He couldn't say anything. Then, he planted those seeds in their house compound. Days after days, the buds were coming out. The plants were getting bigger and bigger. Even a human could walk on it! The boy climbed that plant and went along it. He reached a house. It was a cruel nat couple's house. When he reached there, there was only a grandmother nat, Hpyi Hpai grandmother. She said, "When my husband comes back, he will eat you alive. Hide somewhere." So, he hid at the rack above a fireplace. When Hpyi Hpai grandfather got back home, he said, "I get the smell of a human!" Hpyi Hpai grandmother said, "No, I don't get any smell. Maybe you are mistaken." The boy was afraid out of his wit. The cruel nat grandfather said, "No, I am sure this is the smell of a human." But Hpyi Hpai grandmother kept saying, "No, you are mistaken." Soon, the grandfather went outside. Hpyi Hpai grandmother called the boy to come down and said, "From now on, don't come here again. I will give you this." She gave a pack to him. He asked, "What's this, grandma?" She replied, "Open it when you get back home." Then, he went back to his house. When he reached home, he opened the pack. He saw there was a gold egg inside it. His widow mother and he became rich because of that. In the end, they could live happily and wealthily. Transcription (La Ring) Ya gaw jahkrai ma yan nu a maumwi rai na re.
