Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there were two blind men. It's not they can't see at all. They had just very poor eyesight. While their family members were working outside, they were left at home alone. They lived right next to each other. So, they talked to each other very often. One day, they accidentally discussed stealing things from others. One man said, "My friend, seem like our family members can't feed us well because they have little money. So, let's steal things from others." Then, another one agreed with him. One night, they went to a village where they had never been before. And they tried to steal gongs from a house. Since they couldn't see, they were touching the gongs. There were two or three gongs in that house. Among them, they could steal one gong. In the past, Kachin people dug the ditches around the graves. That is called 'Lup Hka'. There are still many Lup Hka in the upriver area. Since they were blind, they fell into one of the ditches. They were walking round and round the whole night. Then, it was already morning. One of the blind men said, "We might reach far from the village. Let's test how good the gong that we have stolen is. Let's play it." Then, they hit the gong once. But they didn't know that they were close to the gong's owner's house. The sound came out loud. The owner thought, "Oh, the sound of playing the gong is coming out loud. Is our gong stolen?" Then, he checked his gongs and saw one was missing. He called the villagers and said, "Let's go see the place where the sound came out. Someone has stolen my gong." Then, they saw two blind men holding the gong and arguing. One said, "I will play the gong first." Another one said, "No, I will play it first." They were walking around the grave and arguing over who would play the gong first. The villagers saw them and took the gong back. This is the end of a funny story.
