Description: Translation (Tu Hkawng) The title of the story is "Three-bushel rice debt." The story I am going to tell is: once upon a time, there was a village, which was located in a plain area, and people were doing large scale paddy farming. There was a neighbour who had a lot of rice during the summer and monsoon season. He always had the rice and never suffered from femininity. However, another neighbouring household always suffered from a shortage of rice and did not have many things to eat during the monsoon. That is why he borrowed three bushels of rice from a neighbour who had a lot of rice. The borrower could not pay back the debt for a long time. It seems like he was able to pay back the three bushels of rice, and he was unhappy and just lived that way. One day, his house was burnt down, and the debtor also suffered from the fire burn on his face, his left hand and leg, and his chest. After he suffered the burn severely, he passed away, and his friends buried his body nicely. After ten years of his funeral service, then one night, he (the dead man) gave a dream to his neighbour. In the dream, he said, "Hey... brother in law, I am the one who borrowed three bushels of rice from you, and I want to pay you back my debt." At the time, the lander was awake and said, " Oh... I already forgot about that, and he also passed away, so now he wants to pay me back the three bushel of rice, how he is going to pay, and he thought." The next morning, a cow-calf was born from their family farm. As the calf was born, it was very similar to the debtor who borrowed the three bushel of rice, and the left side of the calf's front leg and back leg were white. Furthermore, the chest side of the calf was also white. Also, the calf had some similar spots like the debtor on its face and was born in that way. During the time, the house owner was a bit suspicious of the calf, he was thinking it might be the man who gave him a dream for the repayment of the debt. However, the man just kept the calf at his firm, and the calf was growing day by day and became a very big bull and very meek. The bull was meek and very accommodating to others when he was pulling the bull cart. Then, the bull was living that way, but one day when the Buddhist temple's bell rang, the bull stopped moving even though the owner chased him rushly and beat him badly, and also the other bull pulled the cart very hard. It was still not moving, and I listened to the bell song. Then only the house owner was realized that "This bull is like a human being and it is a fathom, he also said that, although he was not able to pay the debt, he is very pious person that why I think he reincurated in this young bull. That is why, the lander held a big ceremony, he said that, "I have already decided to write off the debt (three bushel of rice) that you need to pay, but somehow as you still have the debt, you are not relieved of onerous duties. Therefore, I was holding this ceremoney with the purpose to write off the debt that you need to pay." The story was ended here.
