Description: Translation (Seng Pan) This story is about teaching how to lie. There was a man named Nangbya (this name is given to the person who always lies to others). He was really good at lying. People never knew he lied till they fell into his trap. Therefore, the villagers wanted to know how to lie. And they wanted to learn it from him. So, a man approached him and asked, "Nangbya, teach me how to lie!" "No, I don't know how to lie," Nangbya replied. "The way you lie is brilliant. Teach me!" the man requested again. "I really don't know. But I will teach you. It's because you ask me so many times. But now I am not free. I have many works to do at home. If my wife knows I am teaching you how to lie instead of working, she will surely get angry. So, I will finish the works first," Nangbya said. "Don't worry! I'll help you," the man replied. So, he helped Nangbya with carrying the bamboos. Nangbya promised him to teach the way to lie if they finished the work on that day. However, he didn't teach him even a few days after finishing the work. The man got angry and said, "As you promised me to teach how to lie, I helped you with carrying the bamboos. And you haven't taught me till now." "You asked me to teach how to lie. That's why I already taught you. I asked you to help me with my woks and promised to teach you the next day. That's what I taught you," Nangbya replied. He always lied each person that he needed to build fence, house, etc. In the beginning, people didn't realize he lied. They only knew the truth at last. One day, a man like the previous one, came and asked Nangbya to teach how to lie. He denied at first. As the man approached him constantly, he finally had to agree again. But he said the same like he said to the previous one that he had the works to finish first. Nangbya said, "I still need to catch fish. Only after this work, I can give time to you. And it will take long." "Brother, let's do together! We can finish it quickly," the man said. They made a deal and started preparing to catch fish. Long ago, when Kachins caught fish, they first obstructed the flow of water by placing a long log across a stream. There someone or something needed to hold it not to be askew. Nangbya said, "Man, don't let this log loose. If you make it loose, Madim (it's a conical shape net which is made with bamboo and used for fishing) will move and be broken. Then we won't get fish. I will go and find something to brace it. Meanwhile you need to hold this well," Nangbya instructed and left. With the intention of learning how to lie after the work, the poor man kept waiting for Nangbya to arrive back. However, Nangbya didn't come back to him. In the evening, as he had known Nangbya wouldn't come back, he left what he was doing and went back to the village. He was angry for being lied by Nangbya and left alone. So, as soon as he arrived at the village, he looked for Nangbya. He saw him playing dice without concern. He had got angrier than before and said, "Nangbya, I will kill you. The whole day you let me hold the log and you said you would leave to find Labrang bra (thing to control the log). I was waiting for you whole day. But you didn't come back. Why did you lie me? I was so tired and hungry. Even I felt shaky." Nangbya only replied, "You said you wanted to learn how to lie. Even I didn't want to teach. I taught you as you requested seriously. That's why I taught you." Transcription (Lu Awng) Masu sharin ai maumwi re.
