Description: Translation (Gun Mai) It is a story about the birds are selecting their leader. There were many types of birds in the forest so they said that "We need a bird leader who will lead us. It is difficult without a leader." So, they organized a selection even like an election that we do in today's era. "We need a leader. Who should we elect the leader," the birds said. A bird said that "Let's elect hornbill. He is also stronger and bigger than us. Let's elect him to be our leader." So, they made the hornbill their leader. They put the hornbill on the throne but the hornbill was not good at speaking. He used to speak harshly. When the hornbill spoke, the birds were scared and ran away. Even though the hornbill spoke again, his voice was harsh again. So, the birds said that "It is not good anymore the hornbill to be our leader. As long as he is our leader, the unity among the birds will be broken and the birds will run away. Therefore, let's change the leader again." The birds asked that "Whom should we change?" "Let's ask the drongo to be our leader because he speaks decently and he also can lead to unite all," a bird said. Thus, the drongo became the leader of the bird because he spoke decently and also had good behaviours. The birds discussed the drongo to be their leader and the drongo became the leader of the birds. Because the drongo became the leader, the birds were happy and united. "Let's make a party, as we got a new leader," said the birds so they prepared food for a party. There was also a bird called U Tu who was a green colour and the red head. U Tu was the one who managed for food. In the past, the Jinghpaw people called Hking Jawng Wa the one who managed the food so U Tu was a Hking Jawng Wa. U Tu then said that "The big for the big, the medium for the medium, and the small for the small." A very small bird called Htingra Set heard about what the U Tu said. "I am the smallest bird among the various birds. He meant that I will be just given the small one and the big will get big. So, U Tu, our Hking Jawng Wa is not fair," said Htingra Set. Then, he took out his sword and slashed immediately the head of U Tu. Therefore, although U Tu females are all green, we see red colour like blood on the head of the U Tu male today. It was because Htingra Set slashed him. The blood of the U Tu had also been spread on the body of Htingra Set. So, today, Htingra Set male is fulled of red colour and Htingra Set female is blue colour because the female was not spread blood. Thus, after the Htingra Set slashed U Tu, the birds said that "U Tu needs medical treatment. Who will treat him? Let's go to the hospital. There is a nurse bird called Shimram Dawng. We need to cross Hkindu Yang land to reach the hospital. Who will carry U Tu? Let's ask a bird called Shingwoi Byit to carry U Tu." The Shingwoi Byit was yellow colour before but after he carried U Tu, the blood of U Tu was spread the whole body was the Shingwoi Byit. That's why the colour of Shingwoi Byit male is red today while Shingwoi Byit female is yellow. Then, Shingwoi Byit was fulled of blood and said that "I am tired and cannot carry U Tu anymore. Who will continue to carry?" A bird called Kataw Naw said that "I will continue to carry U Tu." Kataw Naw continued to carry U Tu in the Hkindu Yang land and he was also getting tired. Kataw Naw slipped in Hkindu Yang land and his buttock was hit. Therefore, the reason that the tail of Kataw Naw is red today was because of that. The reason that why the tail of Kataw Naw is red, why the head of U Tu male is red, why the body of Htingra Set male is red, and why the body of Shingwoi Byit male is red was because of the bird U Tu's blood.
