Description:Translation (Htoi Awng) The story is about the elephant and sparrows. This story is actually about the elders bullying the youngers. Long time ago, I guessed it was not in a paddy field but somewhere in a farm, there were "Jinglim" birds, which were very tiny and also a species of sparrow, mostly found in jungle. They were also found in the farm where we did farming. They took the leaves from the farms and built their nests with those. And the babies were hatching there. One sparrow laid eggs somewhere in a farm where there were elephants too. One day, an elephant was walking to somewhere. The mother sparrow requested the elephant, "My pal, I am staying here with my brood of baby birds. And my babies are still too young. There is my nest on this way. Can you go from the other way, please? The earth is large enough for you to go to the place where you want. Can you just go from the other way? Since you have got huge feet, my babies will die when you step on them." She requested and begged the elephant not to cross from the way where her nest existed. The elephant irately told the sparrow, "You, such a little tiny bird! How dare you order me to do this or not to do that!? I will go as I like. I will trample wherever I want." He was angry. He trampled on the nest, and the baby birds were dead. Then, the sparrow was very sad. She thought, "This is just bullying. The biggers treat badly to the tiny animals like us. But, one day, I will definitely revenge you. I will make you feel the same." Then, she went to the horsefly and requested to help her. Horseflies are mostly found in the forest. They bite on the buffaloes and cause serious injury. And then, she also requested to the fly, "Help me, please! I have faced troubles". The fly agreed to help and asked the sparrow, "How can we help you?" The sparrow told the horsefly, "Bite the elephant. But not in his eyes. Bite the corner of the eyes. Then, he will get hurt, and there will be a wound near his eyes. His eyes will be bleeding. Just bite near the eyes." And then the sparrow told the fly, "You are the one who can spawn. Spawn on the place where the horsefly bit and where it is bleeding near his eyes. When you do that, the wound will get worse." After that, the sparrow requested to the crow too. She said, "Pretend like you are pecking on the wound of the elephant. And strike the eyes of the elephant." The elephant hardly took a rest, drank water and ate food because of the wound. The eyes was filled with the big maggots day by day. He got thirstier and thirstier. And his eyes would almost fall off. Actually, the sparrow asked for help from the frog too. She told, "My friend frog, you have to make sound from the vale. The elephant knows that there will be water where the frog makes sound. You croak at the deep vale. Then, he will follow your voice to find water since he can walk well even though his eyes are injured." When the frog croaked, the elephant heard it. And he rushed to the vale to get water and fell down from the slope. Finally, he died. This is the end of the story. Transcription (Lu Hkawng & Lu Pan) Magwi hte Jinglim U a lam.
