Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Our elders used to say that we mustn't eat porcupine meat while we are pregnant. If we eat that meat, we'll have a miscarriage. Then, one woman said, "The porcupine meat is very delicious. Why shouldn't we eat that?" She ate that meat a lot. (I've heard that some people have miscarriages as soon as they finish eating. But some do not.) The elders said, "If you don't have a miscarriage even after you ate that meat, your child will die by the time he reaches the age when he can carry a basket of water." That woman didn't believe them and said, "What kind of nonsense is that? How can that child die when he is at that age? No way! I will eat it anyway." After some months, she successfully gave birth. Some years later, her son grew up. Then, she thought, "That was only nonsense! My child will not die." Unfortunately, her son really died when he was at the age of carrying a basket of water. When her son was dead, she regretted eating the porcupine meat. But it was already late. So, when someone says this is not good, we shouldn't do that thing.
