Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about how a bird made a nest. Birds told each other, "Hey. Even human beings have their houses. So, we also need a house. But we are not as smart and intelligent as a human. Let's imitate and do as the human. Let's build a house the same as the human's house." Then one bird asked, "Where can we look?" Another bird answered, "There are some people who are building a house now. Let's go and look at that!" Then the bird with a short tail went there first to look how a house was built. People were about to build a house. They were making floors and putting the posts beside it. And they were just making the ground flat. Then what the bird thought was, "Ahhh, to build a house, we just need to do like that." Today, the bird with a short tail laid its eggs on the ground. He thought that was the house. He had to build a house like that. Then another bird went to look there the next day. It was a pigeon. He went there. What he saw was that people were laying the rafters for the roof. Then he thought, "It is the way how people build a house." Since then, the pigeon's nest was on the edge, even their eggs were about to fall off. Then another bird went there again. At that time, he saw that there were only posts. He thought, "Ahhh, people build a house by putting the posts up everywhere." So, a green jay bird's nest was like a post. Later, a white-throated munia went there to look at how people built a house. When he went there, the house was all finished. Only a window was open when he looked at it. When the house was all finished, only a small window was open. Then, he thought, "Ummmm, a house is built like that." Even though the white-throated munias were small birds, they built their nest big. They opened only a small hole and went in there. After that, a hornbill went to the people to look at how they built a house. After seeing that, he thought, "A house has been built like this." They built their nests tight and lived there. They couldn't look at the house till the house was built entirely. They deduced that a house must be built in that way according to only what they had seen. They imitated the way how people built a house. Then they built their nests like that. Transcription (Lu Hkawng & Htu Bu) U Ni Gaw U Tsip Tsip Wa Ai A Lam re.
