Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was an old man with three sons in a village. The title of the story is 'an old man and his three sons'. Once upon a time, there was an old man with three sons in a village. Ma Gam (the eldest son) and Ma Naw (the second son) were naughty and arrogant. Ma La (the youngest son) was polite and smart. One day, the father was seriously ill. The brothers cured their father with their best, but their father didn't feel any better. Then, the villagers told them, "Take water (which is believed to be medicinal) from the mountain stream for your father and feed him. Then your father will be fine." Then, the three brothers discussed what to do. Ma Naw and Ma La told Ma Gam, "My brother, you climb that mountain and take water for our father since you are the eldest son." Ma Gam replied, "Okay, I will go." He packed rice for lunch and went to the mountain by horse. On his way, he stopped to eat his lunch. An old man walked toward him when he was about to eat his lunch. The old man said, "I am starving. Can you give me your rice, please?" But Ma Gam was selfish and said, "Hey! Go away! I don't even have enough rice for me. Why should I share it with you? I can't!" He ate it alone. Then he rode his horse and continued his journey to take the water. At that moment, the old man snapped his fingers. Surprisingly, three mountains moved forward and trapped Ma Gam. So, he couldn't go anywhere. Meanwhile, Ma Naw and Ma La were waiting for Ma Gam at home. But he didn't show up. Then, Ma La told Ma Naw, "My brother, you follow Ma Gam. We don't know what happens to him. Go and check, please." Ma Naw packed some rice and went there. He stopped at the place where Ma Gam stopped. He ate his lunch there. Then, the old man came to him too. The old man said, "My dear young man, can you share some rice with me, please? I am so hungry." Ma Naw didn't want to share and shouted, "Just go away! I don't even have enough food for me. I still have a long way to go. There's nothing I can share with you." After eating his lunch, he continued his journey by horse. Then, the old man snapped his fingers again and trapped Ma Naw in the middle of three mountains. On the other hand, Ma La was waiting for his two brothers. But no one has come back home yet. So, he decided to follow them and find the water for his father by himself. He said to his father, "Dad, I don't know what happened to my two brothers. I will go get the water for you. Wait for me. You will be fine when you drink it." He told the neighbours, "Please, look after my father for a while." Ma La packed some food for him and went to the mountain to find the water by riding a horse. On his way, he stopped and ate his food. Then, the old man came to him and asked for some food as he asked the boy's two brothers. The old man said, "Dear young boy, I am starving. So, can you please give me some food?" Ma La was not like his two brothers. He willingly said, "Oh my dear grandpa, I have this much. I can share it with you. Let's eat it together." And he gave half of his food to the old man. The old man asked Ma La, "Where are you going now?" Ma La said, "My father is sick. People told me that there is medicinal mountain water. If my father drinks it, he will be fine. So, I am on my way to take the water." The old man said, "Then, I will let you know the way. Go this way, then you will meet a chief when you arrive at the place where the mountain water exists. He is cruel. You need to ask for his permission to take the water. If not, you will get into trouble." Ma La said, "Thank you. I will definitely ask for his permission." Then, he continued his journey as the old man directed. When he arrived at a place, he met a chief. The chief asked him, "Why are you coming here?" Ma La said politely, "I come here to get some medicinal water because my father is sick." The chief said, "Alright. Then do as I said. If you don't do what I told you to do, you won't get any water for your father." Ma La asked, "Tell me what I have to do?" The chief said, "Do you see the mountain over there? It blocks the sunlight in the morning. I want the sunlight shining directly on my place. Go and demolish that mountain. If you succeed, I will give you the medicinal water." When Ma La heard that, he was depressed. He thought, "How many days will it take for me to blow up that big mountain? My father is sick, and I don't know how long he can wait for me. What should I do?" But he took a hoe and went to that mountain. The old man, who asked for his food, came to him and said, "My dear grandson, don't be depressed. Do as I told." Ma La said, "Okay, just tell me what to do." The old man said, "Dig the mountain with your hoe now. Use it as your pillow and sleep here tonight." Then, Ma La started demolishing the mountain. At night, he used the hoe as his pillow and slept at the base of the mountain. In the morning, he felt like the sun was shining on his face. So, he opened his eyes. He couldn't believe his eyes. The mountain was gone. The chief was pleased that the sunlight directly shone upon his palace. He asked Ma La, "How did you do that?" He doubted how Ma La demolished the whole mountain in one day. But he gave what Ma La wanted. He said, "Take the water for your father." Ma La carried the water with the bottle he bought and went back home. On his way back home, he met the old man again. The old man told him, "My dear grandson, you are kind and gentle. That's why I help you. I met the first two boys who are unkind. They are your brothers, aren't they?" Ma La said, "Yes, they are. They went to the mountain before me, but they didn't come back. I don't know what happened to them." The old man said, "They are not the same as you. They are unkind. When I asked for food from them, they didn't share it with me. So, I trap them in the middle of those mountains. But you treat me kindly. So, I will release your brothers." He snapped his fingers, then the mountains moved back to their places. Ma Gam and Ma Naw were released. Ma Gam and Ma Naw said, "Ma La, you did a great job. We were unkind, so we couldn't get the water for our father. But you did. It's because you are kind. Let's go home now." And they thanked the old man too. After that, they went back home. When they arrived home, they fed their father the water. Their father felt better and recovered soon. They all lived happily together. This story wants to tell us that we should be kind. Good things will happen to every kind person. Transcription (La Ring) Moi shawng de da dingla langai mi gaw la kasha ma masum lu ai da.
