Description: Translation (by Rita Seng Mai) I'd like to tell about how elders of our people lived through. I just wanted the young people to know. Many years ago, there was a man who really loved his wife in a village. They got married and lived together happily. His wife was pregnant and about to bear a child soon. Then he thought that he needed to find some money for his family. So he went somewhere to find money. His wife kept waiting for him. Even it was time to give birth, he didn't come back. Unfortunately, his wife died in childbirth. But he didn't know about that. Maternal death was really scary for the villagers at that time. The villagers just left the village without destroying that house and moved to somewhere else since it was scary. All the other villagers moved to another place. At that time, the husband who worked away from home came back to his home since he got some money and he was worried about his wife. When he arrived at his village, there were no people. He thought it was strange. But when he went back to his house, he saw the light coming from his house. So he went inside and saw his wife in the living room. She was sitting by the fire which was burning brightly. She called him to come inside and told her husband that she was waiting for him. Then, he went inside and put down all of his stuff. His wife was brushing her hair by sitting there. He asked his wife about their child but she didn't say anything about that. She kept silence and didn't say a word. She was sitting in back of the living room. Then he put some firewood into the fire and looked at his wife's face. He saw that her face was really strange. His wife's tongue was long and hanging outside of her mouth. He was so scared and thought to run away from the house. So he dropped a comb between their house traditional bamboo floors. At that time, her tongue was becoming so long and picked the comb up through the floor. He was frightened when he saw that. Then he thought of another way to run away. This time, he dropped a needle. His wife said that she would pick it up. Then she put her long tongue out and started to find it. But a needle was so small and thin so she couldn't pick it up. While she was trying to pick it up, her husband quickly ran away from the house. Then she was chasing after him. Her husband ran with all his effort without looking back. He was getting tired while running away. Then he saw a big star gooseberry tree right in front of him. So he tried hard to climb that tree and sat on the tree without making any noises. His wife kept chasing after him by his footprints. But she didn't see any footprints when she arrived under that tree. She shook that gooseberry tree strongly and many gooseberry fruits were falling from the tree. Then she thought the sky was falling on her and ran away from there. He finally escaped from his wife's haunting. Later he knew everything about his wife's death and left that house. That's why if there was maternal death in one house in the past, people always burnt and destroyed that house, but not now. Our elders used to tell a story on that event.
