Description: Translation (Gun Mai) The title is Pring prawng hall. The pring prawng hall means that there was a man who was very lazy and also good at lying. No one loved him in his village because he was very lazy. So, when he was wandering in other villages where no one from his village had been and seen, he saw a very beautiful girl. He saw the beautiful girl and when he said about he loved her, the girl asked him that "What do you have? Do you have a house?" "I have," answered the man and the girl asked again that "What kind of house is that?" "Pring prawng hall," answered the man. The girl thought that the 'hall' meant perhaps quite a big house. The girl also asked that "Do you also have cattle?" "There are many cattle as wide as the Namsan plain," said the man. Then, the girl asked again that "Do you have a mother?" "No," answered the man. "Do you still have a father?" asked the girl. "No," said the man. Thus, the girl thought that the man was a wealthy man so she followed the man. She followed him and when they got to the man's house, they were entering into a tattered house. The joists of the house had been damaging. Then, the girl surprisingly said that "You said that you have a magnificent house?" "I did not say a magnificent house. I just said pring prawng hall. This is it," said the man. The girl could not do anything as she had already followed mistakenly him. The pring prawng hall meant that the ancestors used to make a house's floor with split and flattened bamboo on 3 or 4 layers of long Nmai Hka bamboo. After the floor with split and flattened bamboo damaged, if it was stepped on this side, it rose on the other side. And if it was stepped on the other side, it rose on this side. Pring prawng hall meant such a house. The girl continued to stay with the man because she had already mistakenly followed him and could not do anything. When they had been living, the girl said that "Since we are very poor, you said that you have many cattle. Let's sell the cattle." "OK, there are many cattle as wide as the plain," said the man. When they got to the plain, the girl pointed out a cattle but the man said it was another person's cattle. When the girl also pointed out another cattle, the man said that it was also the cattle of the other person. There were no cattle of the man. Therefore, the girl wrongly married the poor man because she did not understand what the man said. It is the end. Transcription (Lu Awng) Gabaw gaw pringprawng htingnu da.
