Description:Translation (Htoi Awng) A long time ago, the merchants were passing a village. It was situated near a stream and sandy bank. The traders usually used that way to do their business. The two men from that village knew that the traders always passed this way. So, they two lit the fire and cooked the rice on the sandy bank with a rock pot. (People used the rock pot to cook rice in the past.) At that moment, the traders were coming towards the stream. When the two men saw them, they quickly covered the fireplace with the sand and put the rice pot on the sand. The sand was still hot, so the rice was boiling. When the traders saw that, they wondered. They said to the two villagers, "Can you sell that pot to us?" The two villagers said that they didn't want to sell it. But the merchants insisted on telling the villagers to sell it. In fact, the two villagers already knew that the merchants always used this way. So, they were waiting for them intentionally because they wanted a white horse of them. They tricked them. The merchants said, "We will give this white horse too. Please, sell the pot to us." Then, the two villagers agreed to trade. They told them, "If the rice does not boil when you cook it with this pot, you will need to beat the pot with the ladle. If it's still not boiling, you will need to beat second time to third time." The merchants traded their white horse and money with the rock pot from the villagers. And they continued their journey. When they reached a stream, they prepared to cook for their dinner. They put the rock pot on the sand and put food in it. But it did not boil without fire. So, the traders beat the pot once, but it was not boiling yet. They hit it for the second time, but it didn't boil. They got angry and hit it really hard for the third time. Then, the pot was broken. At that time, a bird flew in front of them. Since they were angry, they picked up one piece of broken pot and threw it towards the bird. The bird got hit and died. Then, they cooked it and ate it deliciously. After eating it, their voices changed. They produced the sound like, "Wak! Wak!" They were shocked. Since then, there is a kind of night bird called 'U-wak'. They thought that this rock might be precious, so they took the pieces of that rock pot to their houses. They tried so hard to cure their voices changing into 'Wak! Wak!" But it didn't go away. At last, their voices changed into normal when they ground those rock pieces and drank it. This is the end of the story. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng de hpaga la hte ndai mare masha nga ai, mare masha gaw marai 2, hpaga la ni gaw shanhte gaw hpaga ga lai sa wa ai i.
