Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell is about how ducks could swim. Once upon a time, there was a flock of ducks which lived on a farm. And there was a duckling too. Since it was a baby duck, it was so small. Its feathers were not white yet and not as beautiful as the adult ducks. So it was upset about that, and it just stayed in mud and cried the whole day. It didn't go to find food such as caterpillar even the adults went to find foodstuffs. One day, when the other ducks went to find food like caterpillars in the late morning, the mother duck was looking for her baby duck. But she couldn't see him. She kept finding him. Then she saw that her baby was crying by hiding in the mud. Then she asked, "My baby, why are you crying there?" The duckling told, "Because I am so upset. Look at my body. I am not as big as the other ducks. And my feathers are not as white as theirs too. I am not stronger than the others. I can't do like them too. I am not as beautiful as them. That's why I am so upset. I don't know when I will become like them. I don't know when I will be stronger, when I will be pretty, and when I will be big. I also don't know when I will have wings too. Mom, I am so upset." Then the mother duck said, "My son, you should not despair. You want to have a big body and you also want to be stronger, right? Then you have to practice and make sure to be like that, so that you can gain those, my son." The baby duck asked his mother, "Then how should I do? How to practice?" His mother replied, "Okay! Then I will give you some suggestions. Look at the lake over there. Go there. And you go in and out of the lake. Keep doing that. Swim there every day, then your body will be bigger and bigger day by day. Eat worms and caterpillars which are in that lake. Eat fish too. Eat everything you see, my son. If you eat a lot, your body will get bigger. Then your wings will be bigger too. And the grey feathers you hate now will fade away and they will turn into white." "And," his mother continued, "You will get white feathers like others one day. You will grow bigger and you will be strong. To get those, you have to swim there. Even though you can't swim, just keep swimming until you know how to swim. Even if you drown, struggle hard and swim again. You have to practice a lot, so that you will gain those. You can catch and eat all kinds of animals like the adult ducks. Eat worms and caterpillars no matter how big they are. You can even catch a frog. You will be bigger than others. You will be a leader, my son. You will be the one which can support knowledge and suggestions to others one day." Then the mother duck let her baby swim in the lake. So, ducks, one of the bird species, have become the birds which know how to swim. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ngai tsun na gaw ndai hkaipyek ni hka hpungyawt chye wa ai lam re.
