Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell is that there is a word that we shouldn't say to our beloved ones. There were two brothers-in-law who went trading. They earned lots of money. Then they went back home. On their way back home, one man tied his brother-in-law to a tree. He thought to kill him and take all the money alone. When the brother-in-law was awoken, he noticed that he was tied. So, he told him, "Don't kill me yet. I'd like to say some words to the moon." The moon was shining brightly. He told the moon, "My friend is trying to kill me. We both get a lot of money, but he thinks to take it all by himself. Please, let my family know about this." His friend thought he was so funny. Soon, his friend killed him. He took all the money and went back to his house. Then, his friend's wife came to him and asked, "Where is my husband?" He said, "I don't know. We went separately. Didn't he arrive home yet? I don't know where he went." He didn't tell her that he killed her husband. One night after a few months, the wicked man and his wife were lying under the moonlight. Suddenly, the man laughed out loud and hard. He was looking at the moon and laughing hard. He remembered what his friend did before he died, so he was laughing. His wife was annoyed and asked him, "Why are you laughing?" However, he didn't say anything, just laughing. She told him, "You told me that you loved me the most. If you don't tell me why you are laughing, we will break up. I won't love you anymore. I will break up with you." Then, he had no choice, but had to tell her about it. He said, "When my friend and I went trading, I planned to kill him. While he was tied to the tree, he said some words to the moon. He said that I tied him to the tree and planned to kill him. He said that I took all the money by myself. He said to the moon to pass this information on to his family. He said that under the full moonlight. I suddenly remember it, so I am laughing." His wife thought, "He is really greedy. If he doesn't love me anymore, he might kill me too. He might cause me trouble. I shouldn't be with him." She told the chiefs about him and let him get punished. We shouldn't say a secret that shouldn't be disclosed to anyone, not even to our beloved ones. If we say it, we will be in trouble. This story is told to remind us. Transcription (La Ring) Ya hkai na gaw ndai ntsun mai ai ga gaw kadai kade tsawra ai wa hpe raitim mung nmai tsun ai ngu ai ga hpe hkai ga le i.
