Description:		Translation (Htoi Awng) Long time ago, the human kind had no death. They used to eat nutritious vegetables and fruits. Man got married to Sun princesses from the land of the Sun. Human from the earth and people from the land of the Sun became relatives. There was a lady from the Sun land who married with a man. One day, she got sick seriously. So, she went back to her origin, the Sun land. A few days later, she was dead. Then, people from the Sun land invited human from the earth to the funeral. Humans were invited to the funeral. There is a traditional culture. It is called Tsu Htat which was to attend the funeral. The husband needed to give all of the bride price at the funeral if he couldn't give all when they got married. Then, human needed to go the Sun land very often to attend the funeral. One day, the girls were going to wrap the banana leaves. There was a big tree at the place where they were picking the banana leaves. Inside the stem of the tree, a mother chameleon lived with her children. On the tree, a female eagle and her children built a nest and lived there. And there was a monkey that lived at not a very far place from them. One day, the monkey accidentally destroyed all the eagle's eggs while the eagle was finding foods. When she came back, she didn't see any single egg. She got angry and flew out to search the culprit. At that time, the chameleon was also searching for foods. When the eagle saw the chameleon, she thought that the chameleon would be the culprit. So, she attacked her. Then, the chameleon died and fell down to the ground. The girls who went to pick the banana leaves found the dead chameleon and took it to the village. They showed it to the headmen. The headmen said, "Good! We usually need to go to the Sun land to attend the funeral. Start from today, we will not go there again. We have the death too. Let's celebrate the funeral!" And they gave the message to the people from Sun land, "We also have death now. So, we are inviting you to give the bride token." The people from the Sun land believed them. So, they let a lady from the Sun land go to the earth, but she didn't see any funeral. She checked everywhere to see the dead body, but she didn't see anything. The human were dancing and holding the funeral. So, she went inside the house and checked carefully. Then, she saw the dead chameleon in the box. She had done her duty and went back to her home land. She told everything she saw to her parents. She said, "There is no dead body, but they are holding a funeral. There is only a dead chemeleon at the front part of the house." Her parents said to her, "The human really want to die, mmm? Then, go and tell them, 'You shall die when your hair turns grey!' They released a statement like that for human. She went to the earth again and said to human, " If you really want to die, you will die when your hair turns white, your forehead gets widen and your teeth are broken!" At that time, a man called Wu Ju whose hair was white since he was born said, "If you say so, I will die before I am getting older because of my white hair. That is not fair. Everyone will die when it is the right time for them to die!" Because of his words, people of all ages, both young and old had to die when it is time for them to die. I have heard that if someone gets married to a lady from the Sun land, they can never have a baby. My mother also served to the lord of the Sun (deity). When my mother was younger, her parents let one of her brothers attend school. Then, the deity worried that her brother would not serve him if he was educated. So, the deity hid her brother in the bamboo. His parents found him. They asked him, "Why didn't you go to school?" (Actually, the story is finished. I am just telling you about some true events.) My uncle said, "A woman who wears the red longgyi came to me and took me somewhere. That person changes into a snake and waits at the gate. So, I couldn't go to school because of her. No one came to steal the rice too because of that snake. If someone, who worshipped the deity of Sun, got married, they cannot go out through the front door. They have to go past from the window. If not, the Sun deity cursed them, and they can't bear babies. The groom had to go out through the windows and meet with the bride somewhere else. This is the end of the story.
