Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This story is about a wicked, narrow-minded lesser wife. Once upon a time, there was a couple in a village. They had a daughter and a son. After some years, the mother passed away. So, the father got married to a woman again. The second wife disliked the children of the first wife. She didn't want to feed them too. Sometimes, she put some rice on their clothes or faces. When the father asked if the children had finished eating, she showed the rice and said that they had eaten it. The children said, "No, we haven't eaten it yet." Then, the stepmother scolded them, "When your father asks you if you have eaten, just say yes. If you say you haven't eaten yet, I will beat both of you hard. Get it?" They were frightened and said, "Yes, we will listen to you." When their father asked them if they had eaten the next day, they said yes. The children couldn't eat anything. They spent their days just drinking water. One day, the second wife told her husband, "I can't feed your children anymore. Take them to the forest and kill them." He was shocked and said, "I can't. I can't kill my children." The wife told him, "If you can't, will you break up with me?" He said, "I can't break up with you too." His wife told him, "Then, kill your children." The next day, he took his two children and went to the deep forest. He took a knife too. There was a stray dog following them. They walked past the streams and hills. Somewhere in the forest, the father told his children, "I will cut some bamboo down in the forest to make bamboo strips. Wait for me here." But the father didn't come back even at night. Then, the children talked to each other, "Seem like dad has abandoned us. There is a dog that follows us. It might know the right way back to our house. Let's go back." When they arrived home, they were scared and didn't dare go inside. They crawled under the floor and stayed there silently. Their father knew that they had arrived home because he saw the dog. At dinnertime, he made the rice balls and put them down through the floor for the children. His wife saw him and asked him, "Why are you putting the rice down through the floor?" When she looked under the floor, she saw the two children. She got angry at him and said, "You told me that you killed your children in the forest. But now, they are under the house? You lied to me, so I will go back to my house." The husband was worried and begged her not to go back. And he said, "I will listen to you from now. Don't leave me." The next day, he took his two children to the forest again. He told his wife before he went, "I will definitely abandon my children. Don't worry. You will not see them again." The dog was following them on that day too. They took a small spear and knife to the forest. The father took them to a farther place than before. He told them, "I will collect some vines today. Last time, I collected some bamboo to make the strips. I have to make some vine strips. So, wait for me here." He took the dog and killed it somewhere in the forest. And he put the blood on the knife. He showed the knife with the blood to his wife and said, "See! I killed my children. Look at the blood on the knife." His wicked wife was pleased and said, "Okay then." Even though it was getting dark, the father didn't show up. Then, the children knew that they were abandoned. The elder brother said to his sister, "We have been abandoned. It's okay. We can cut some trees down and grow vegetables here since we have the spear and the knife. We can live our lives here." He shot a bird down with the spear. There was a mouth full of rice in that bird. They ate it and did farming. Later, they moved to a nearby village and got married there. They had spent their lives there happily. They worked hard to have a happy life. This is the end of the story. Transcription (La Ring) Hpang num nkaja ai lam nambat lahkawng.
