Description:		Translation (Gun Mai) This is - long long ago - this story is also about our Nhkum clan. I am a wife of the Nhkum clan. There was a Nhkum man who was very good at hunting. He was called a hunter because the person who could catch a lot of animals was called a hunter. There was a good hunter called Nhkum Sing Gawng. Because the man caught a lot of animals, the villagers were very happy when he got the animals. One day, he shot to death a wild boar and took a leg of the wild boar, and brought it back home. And, he covered the wild boar with the leaves but the leaves were medicinal leaves. He covered the wild boar with the leave not others to see but he did not know that the leaves he covered on the wild boar were medicinal leaves. Then, when he got to the village, he brought the leg of the wild boar and said that "Hi friends, I got a wild boar. Let's go to ransack the wild boar." So, the villagers carried open baskets and when they got to the place where the man covered the wild boar, there was no wild boar anymore and the wild boar was alive back and left already. Thus, until today, there is the Nhkum story of 'Nhkum Sing Gawng was sad, the wild boar was revived' among the Jinghpaw people. So, the man said that "This wild boar is revived as I just covered with these leaves." That leaves have been using among the Jinghpaw people as a medicine called Nhkrut Matut. That is about 'Nhkum Gawng was sad, the wild boar was revived' because the leaves that were covered on the wild board were the medicine. Ah... before he went back to the wild boar, he went to see the fortune. The fortune-teller said that "Hey... your fortune said that 'Nhkum Sing Gawng was sad, the wild boar was revived'. But, the Nhkum Sing Gawng said that "How that can happen? I even brought the leg of the wild boar." In the past, when we Jinghpaw people saw for fortune, there was a stone. The stone that was used by Nhkum to see fortune. The stone was thrown away into the Kahtan bamboo forest. The fortune-teller threw the stone away because Nhkum Sing Gawng already brought the leg of the wild boar so he said that "If so, my fortune is useless and incorrect." But, when they got to the place where the wild boar was covered, it was correct that the wild boar was revived and Nhkum Sing Gawng was sad. The fortune was also correct. Thus, until today, the Kahtan bamboos are used in nat worship. Since then, the fortune-telling leaf - have you seen the leaf? I have the plant. They used such things. The fortune-teller used the stone then. This story is about the medicine called Nhkrut Matut that we have been using until today. Kahtan bamboo and the fortune-telling leaf were hit when the Nhkum fortune teller threw the stone so the leaves are used today when fortune-telling. The history story is ended here.
