Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) I am going to tell you about how Jinghpaw people's traditional swords have existed. Once in a village, there was an orphan. He was a fisherman. Since he was an orphan, people looked down on him and bullied him. Lots of fish were caught in his bamboo fishing tool. But villagers took most of his fish. When he checked his net, he saw no fish but only a white stone. He was depressed and said, "Only this white stone is in my net!" So, he picked it up and threw it into the water. When he went checking his net the next day, he saw no fish there. But there was the white stone. He threw it again, but the stone was inside his net the next day. So, he took it home and put it somewhere in the kitchen. In the daytime, he went fishing and worked. At that time, a beautiful lady came out from that stone and cooked a delicious meal for the orphan boy. When the boy was about to arrive home, she went into the stone. The boy saw a delicious meal and got a nice smell. He was surprised. He searched for someone who cooked it for him, but he couldn't find her. So, he just ate the meal. The next day, he saw the delicious meal on the dining table again. He was surprised and thought, "Who cooked it for me?" The next day, he pretended going fishing and hid somewhere to find out the one who cooked for him. At that moment, the beautiful girl came out of the stone and cooked the meal. Then, he quickly came out from hiding and grabbed her. He asked her, "Who are you? Why are you cooking a meal for me?" She said, "I'm from that white stone." They lived together at the boy's house. One morning, the girl told him, "Build a cowshed." He listened to her and built a cowshed. As soon as he finished building it, there were many cows inside it. They had many cows. They were rich and lived happily. The king heard the news and told the orphan, "You have many properties and are wealthy. If you can drive your wife away, I will let you marry my daughter, the princess of this country." He was swayed and thought to himself, "I have lots of cows when I live with my wife. If I can marry the princess, I can be wealthier than now." Then, he drove his wife away. He told her, "I don't love you anymore. Go away from me." She was upset and said, "Do you really mean it?" He said, "Yes, I don't love you." She was sad and went back to her place. She went into the water since she was from the water. Then, all the cows followed her. The orphan boy had got nothing then. His house changed into his old, shacky house. But he was not depressed and went to the king. He told the king, "My Lord, I drove my wife away as you said. Now, you can let me marry your daughter." The king told him, "You are such a stupid boy. You drove your good wife away! So, I can't let you marry my daughter." He regretted his action towards his wife after he heard what the king said. He went to the river where he got the white stone and sat beside it. He was crying and murmured sadly, "I was wrong. Come back to me again." The girl heard him and felt upset. She felt pity for him and came out from water. She told him, "I know you regret about it. But I can't be your wife again. Since you told me that you didn't love me, I remarry here. I will give you a gift." She gave him a sword. Kachin men wore the swords. Since the day when the girl gave him a sword, the traditional swords have existed.
