Description:		Translation (Gun Mai) Long long ago, there was a very lazy married man who also had a child. He was very lazy. That's why he just depended on his wife and was just sitting at home. So, his wife said to him that "Husband, you just do nothing. You should do something to earn some money. Go to the forest." The wife prepared food and other necessary things into the basket and asked her husband to go to the forest. The man went to the forest. On the way to the forest, the man saw a cow horn and took it. Then, he stayed in a cave and was notching the cow horn with the knife that he brought the whole day. He notched the cow horn unevenly and wasted there the whole day. He wasted the time so and when it got night, the sleeping time, the man returned home. And, he used to listen secretly to what his family members were talking about. Because their house was high, he used to stand under the family room and used to listen to what his family talked about. At that time, his wife and the child were talking. The child said to his mother that "Mother, the jungle fowl meat that you put on the garap (a layer that was built above a fireplace in the Jinghpaw house) will be eaten when the father is coming back. Right?" "Yes, child. But, now is the time to sleep. Go to sleep," the mother said. After the man heard about what his wife and the child said, he returned home. Sorry, he go back to the cave and stayed. At day time, the man notched again the cow horn and at night, he returned home and listened again to what his wife and the child talked. The child said then that "Mother, the pheasant meat that you put on the garap will be eaten when the father is coming back. Right?" "Yes, child. It is time to sleep. Let's sleep," said the mother. The man went again to the cave and was notching again his cow horn. He notched the cow horn and he returned home again at night. When he got home, his wife and the child were talking again. The child said that "Mother, the pigeon meat that you put on the garap will be eaten when the father is coming back. Right?" "Yes," the mother said. The man also heard what his family said and returned to the cave again and notched the cow horn again. On the next day, the third day, the man returned home. He put his cow horn in a cloth and rolled it well. And, he returned home. When he got home, his wife thought that "Oh... I think my husband is bringing a lot of money." She happily welcomed him and asked that "Husband, did you bring money?" "Don't ask me," the husband said and he took out his cow horn that was rolled with the cloth and put in the basket and showed his wife. The wife thought that it was gold so she was about to touch but her husband removed her hand and the husband said that "Don't touch. You, woman, cannot touch. This has great power. You, woman, should not touch." Then, the man rubbed gently the cow horn and said that "OK, now I will tell you that what happened to you in the past. On the night I left, you and our child were talking about that the jungle fowl meat that was put on the garap will be eaten when I am back. Isn't it?" "Yeah! Very true, very true," the wife surprisingly said. "On the second night, you two said that the pheasant meat will be eaten when I am back. Right?" the man said again. "Yes, correct. I think this thing has a lot of power," the woman said. The man rubbed gently the cow horn and said again that "Last night, you two said that the pigeon meat will be eaten when I am back. Isn't it?" "Yes, correct," the wife said. The man was talking like he could predict because of the power of the cow horn so the whole villagers heard about the cow horn. The villagers heard that the cow horn had great power. And, there was a king in another country. In the palace, a post of a palace building was got fire day and night. No one could extinguish the fire but the fire was only on the post. The fire was also not spreading to other places and was only on the post of the palace building intensely. The king heard that there was a man who could do great magic and necromancy things so the king sent his men to invite the man. The man was waiting. Then, the king's men came to him and invited him. When the king's men were coming, the man's wife said that "Husband, the men with horses are coming. I think they are coming to bring you." But, the man was hiding sweatily in the corner of the door because he would be killed if he could not answer. The wife then said that "Husband, why you are hiding sweatily in the corner of the door? The people are coming to bring you. Follow them quickly." So, the man took the cow horn from his bag and went to the palace. He followed the men of the king. The man also said to the king's men that "You are coming from very far and you might be very tired. So, let' just go to the palace slowly and let's sleep one night on the way." Then, they got to a forest. When they got to the forest, the man thought to himself that "If I cannot answer why the post of the palace building was fire tomorrow morning, I will be killed," and he was very afraid. So, he asked the men of the king to build tents and he was sitting under a big tree that was existed next to a stream, which was quite far. And, he was sitting with afraid and said to himself that "I am going to die tomorrow." At that time, on the tree, a big male crow and a female crow were sitting. They were very happy. In the past, people could also understand what the birds said. The two crows were talking a lot. The male crow said that "Tomorrow, I will be able to eat a dead body. Very happy." "Why?" the female crow asked. "A man was brought to answer why the post of the palace building was firing. If the man could not answer, I will start eating from his eye," the male crow answered. "I will start eating from the cheek and ear," they were talking. Since the female crow did not know why the post of the palace building was firing, she asked the male crow. "Yeah, why is the post of the palace building firing?." "Don't you know until now?" the male crow said. "I will tell you." At that time, the man was also silently listening to what the two crows were talking about. The male crow then said to the female crow that "Under the post of the palace building, there is a very big frog as big as a roaster when they built the building. They built the building on the head of the frog so the frog hurts and is angry. That's why there is a fire on the post of the palace building. If they can remove the frog and release it to another palace, the fire will be stopped." The man heard about what the two crows talked about so he was very happy even he clapped to himself. "I am very happy now. It is very good," the man said to himself and returned to their tents. He keenly wanted to get the next morning because he had the answer. In the very early morning, he woke up the men of the king that "Let's go, let's go to the palace," and they went to the palace. When they got to the palace, he took out his cow horn and rubbed gently again. And, when the king and all were looking at him - the fire was also ongoing intensely - The man rubbed gently his cow horn and said that "There is a big frog as big as a roaster under the post of the palace building. You have to take out the frog. If you can take out the frog, the fire will be stopped. Because the post of the palace building is on the head of the frog, he hurts and is angry. The breath of the frog is like fire. That's why it happens. It will be OK if you take out the frog and release it in another place." So, the men of the king lifted the post with the tools. When they lifted the post and looked under the post, they saw that there was a big frog as big as a roaster. They took out the frog and released it to another place. At that time, the fire was stopped in the post of the palace building. The king praised the man that "This man is very smart." The king also gave the man a lot of gold and money and let the man to return home.
