Description: Translation (Htoi Awng) Once upon a time, there was a poor family. They were a widow mother with three sons and one daughter. They were very poor and did not even have a farm. The time was hard for them. When the other people cleared the field, they burnt some trash from the field. Some fields were burning down. Then, that family came there and cleaned the field to grow vegetables. But they did not have any crops to plant. So, they just grew some millets which they had found from the other's field. When it was time to harvest the other people's crops, they could harvest their millets too. At that time, the time was so difficult for them. The mother was worried that the birds would eat the millets. So, she told her three sons to protect the millets from the danger of the birds. And she and her daughter were staying at home and doing housework. The three sons went to the farm everyday to scare the birds. Then, the millets were almost ready to harvest. The three brothers were eating the fruits which grew near the farm. But eating only those fruits couldn't make them full. When the millets which they were guarding from the danger of the birds were ready to eat, the brothers ate every single millet. Their mother asked them every evening, "My sons, how about the millets that you guard every day? Is it time to harvest yet?" The three sons also answered that those millets were going to be ready to harvest soon. In fact, they ate those. But they did not tell the truth. Then, their mother went to the millet farm with her daughter to harvest the millets. They took the knives by putting in their baskets. When they arrived there, they saw that there were only the millet plants and there weren't any millet fruits. Then the mother asked her three sons, "My sons! I saw only the plants without fruits. Where are our millet fruits?" The sons answered their mother, "Mom, we ate every single millet which was riped since we were hungry." They had anything to eat except those millets. The mother was very sad after hearing what her sons said. Then she cut her basket with the knife from the middle. And then she pinched those halves of baskets under her arms. Then, she could fly. She turned into a large cicada and attached on a tree. She became a "Yeng". (Yeng is one of the species of cicada.) When the daughter saw her mother, she did exactly like her mother did. And she could fly too. She flew and tried to attach on the tree where her mother was. Then, the mother called her daughter, "My baby! My daughter!" and looking for her daughter. But the daughter was on the other tree of where she set then she tried to climb to the tree were her daughter set, So, the daughter also tried to attach that side. But, her mother moved to the other side of the tree to find her daughter. While the mother was finding her daughter in this side, the daughter attached to the other side. While the daughter was looking for her mom from that side, the mother was not there again. They kept doing like that and couldn't see each other. The whole life, they kept finding each other like that and couldn't see each other. Since that day, the large cicada "Yeng" didn't eat any food, and it drank only liquid. And the sound that the large cicadas made "gaw yen, gaw yeng" means "my baby, my baby". People used to say that that kind of cicada can produce the sound exactly as 'Ma e, ma e' ('ma e' means 'my baby') in the upper river area till today.
