Description: Translation (by Maran Seng Pan) This story tells that we should know the right usage of the words. We should say, "e Ning (sister-in-law/ close friend)! e Hpu (brother)! e Wa (father)! e Hkau (brother-in-law/ close friend)!" when we call out the people who are close to us. If you just say without "e", it means you call out the stranger or spirit. For example, "Hkau!", "Ning!" If you don't call "e Manang wa (friend) e!", it intends that you are calling a spirit. A long time ago, two girls lived in a village and they were neighbors. Before they cultivated paddy in their shifting fields, they planned to slash and burn dried leaves and plants. So, one girl said, "Ning e (close friend), tonight let's sleep in your field! (Kachin farmers build a small bamboo cottage in their shifting field)" In the evening, one of friends finished her work and was waiting for another friend to come. But her friend went back home without informing her. As hours passed by, her friend didn't appear. So, she shouted, "E ning! E ning!" over and over again. However, no one replied. When she called, "Ning!" without "e", one person responded, "Oi! (yes)". Suddenly, she realized that was not her friend's reply because her friend always answered her back the same as she called. Therefore, she ran back home as she knew it was a ghost's reply. When she reached home, she saw her friend was lying in bed. She questioned her, "Why didn't you inform that you went back home?" "I am really sorry. I couldn't tell you as I am not feeling well," her friend explained. That night, both of them slept together in a bed. Since the ghost wanted to eat the girl, it chased after her. When it arrived at the girl's house, it saw two girls were sleeping in the same bed. Therefore, it rubbed the two girls' feet. One girl's foot was warm and another was cold. The ghost thought that a girl whose foot was warm, could be the one who went back home early but another girl whose foot was cold, might be the girl it chased. So, it ate that girl. In the morning, the girl saw that her friend who arrived back home late, was dead. Therefore, it is very important to keep your promise.
