Description:		Translation (Gun Mai) Another one is that there were a father and three children in a farm hut. The youngest child was still getting breastfeeding and the second son was quite understand what he was told. And also he could run himself alone and the eldest sister even could cook the rice. The father went away for trading and only the mother and the children either slept at the farm or stayed at home. One evening, the mother went to fetch water but did not return so the eldest sister called their mother that "Mother! mother!" At that time, in the valley, a witch called Hpau Lum Htu who used to eat humans answered the call of the eldest sister that "Oh....oh...." "Dear mother, dear mother," the eldest sister called and the witch answered "Oh...oh...," the witch could not answer like a human. If it was their mother, the mother would answer that "Dear my children, your mother is coming." But, the witch could not answer like that. On that night, the eldest sister who was a good girl and even could cook the rice looked at the witch and he knew that it was not their mother because the witch had a lot of long hair on the face and also had long breasts. The witch had also no cloth. The second boy did not know anything so asked "Mother, where is your cloth?" The witch said that "Because it got wet, I removed and hang it and I will go and take it tomorrow." The eldest sister knew that the witch was not their mother. "It is something tonight. Mother, let's go home. There is no blanket at the farm so let's go home," the eldest sister said and returned home. They cooked food and ate it. Then, when it was time to sleep, as the youngest child was still getting breastfeeding, the child got from the witch because the youngest child did not know. The eldest sister did not sleep and kept alert. At midnight, the witch secretly carried the youngest baby away and planned to eat. The witch carried the baby away to where there were other witches who ate the humans. The witch carried the baby and planned to exchange the bay with other witches. The eldest sister knew about it. So, she said that "Mother, let's cook the rice. We just used to cook water first before cooking the rice." She said so because, in the highland, the rice was washed first with warm water before cooking it. Also washed face before cooking the rice. So, the girl cooked first water. The witch was planned to eat the baby that night. Even if she did not eat, she would give other witches. At midnight, the baby screamingly cried because the witch squeezed the neck of the baby and tickled the baby. The witch tickled to kill the baby. The witch, Hpau Lum Htu had no weapon and just used to tickle to death. So, the eldest sister thought that "There is something wrong tonight," so she said that "Let's sleep. Let's sleep." And, she pretended to sleep even she pretended to snore. The water was boiling then. Then, the eldest sister carried first her youngest brother and took the water pot. At that time, the Hpau Lum Htu was also pretending to sleep because she was planning to eat after all the children slept. She planned to tickle to death. But, the eldest sister was smart. Their house was on the edge of the village so no neighbouring could hear easily them. The eldest sister took the hot water pot and poured it on the face of the witch, Hpau Lum Htu. So, the Hpau Lum Htu felt hot and ran away by saying "Mang nye mang shang, mang nye mang shang." Thus, if someone took care of the baby, the baby should not be left alone in the farm hut. If a good guest came, the owner should welcome and treat well the guest. People should explore in the introduction to know whether the guest was a good guest or a bad guest. If it was a good guest, it could stay happily. But, the guest of the siblings was the witch Hpau Lum Htu. So, the girl knew well. At midnight, the baby cried two to three times because the witch squeezed the neck and tickled. "What happened," the girl asked. The witch said that "It is OK. The baby cried as he was shocked." The witch understood the human's language but the witch was not their real mother. Because the girl was smart, the three siblings were escaped from eating by the witch. The witch also ran away. Ma nye ma shang meant she was hot. The witch yelled so and ran away until quite far. The siblings did not sleep at home anymore. The eldest sister carried the youngest brother while she pulled the second brother by the hand. They went to the village's chief at the top of the village and told about it. "You are very smart. Where is your mother?" the chief said. The girl said that "Chief, she is not our mother. It is a witch. She came to us and ran away now because I poured her the hot water. I don't whether she will come back or not." The chief immediately took his weapon and went to the siblings' house and monitored the whole night. But, the witch did not come back the whole night. The mother of the children seemed unconscious because of the witch's tickle and could not stand up. The next morning, the chief brought other villagers and went to the valley where the mother of the children went to fetch water. When they got there, the mother of the children was still alive but fainted. The villagers immediately tried to recover her. The highland people knew how to recover the faint person. So, they did everything that they knew and the woman got conscious. On the next day, the husband of the woman also returned home from trading. When the children and the woman told about everything, the man got very angry. So, the man left the children at home and went to the farm and pretended as a woman. When the man was pretending as a woman, the witch who was poured the hot water by a girl did not die and saw the man in a bush of a farm. The man who was pretending a woman said that "Sister-in-law, let' search louse on the head. My head is quite itchy" "Yes, OK. My head is also very itchy," the witch said. The witch also understood the human language. When they were searching the louse on the head of each other, the man pulled the hair of the witch and fastened it in a bamboo post until the whole hair was fastened. Because the man touched the witch's head, the witch was sleepy. Then, the man immediately said that "I return home now." The witch also immediately stood up but her all hair was tied in the bamboo post. Then, the man slashed the witch again and again to death. Since then, the children had never slept at the farm. They went to the farm to work at day but return home at night. People should distinguish between the witch Hpau Lum Htu and good people. Therefore, the children were not dead and their mother was also recovered from the faintness. The father also returned home and pretended as a woman and killed the witch after the witch was tied in the bamboo post and could not run.
