Description:		Translation (Gun Mai) A long time ago in a village, there were two boys who lost their parents since they were young. Since they both lost their parents, they went to a rich man to do a hireling to look after cattle. Even though the two boys were still young, they were mature and decent. They both worked blamelessly in their jobs. They worked hireling to look after the cattle in the rich man for quite a while so they survived. They still could not do other kinds of jobs so they just watch the cattle for survival. After they worked there for 7, 8 years, they had grown up and more mature. They also got more knowledge. They also could distinguish between good and bad. So, they both discussed that "Because it has been for quite a long time that we have been working to look after the cattle, let's stop hireling to watch the cattle," and they looked for other jobs. Although they looked for other jobs and found, it was still only a hireling job again. They lived in another rich man and worked for farms and gardens, and they lived there quite a while again. Even though they have been working there for quite a while, it was only to feed themselves and had no significant benefit for them. So, "We should not end up like this. Let's do trades," discussed the two men and they started trading. When they did trading, because they did not have capital and just borrowed from others, they lost again and again. It was like only making profits for others and there was no benefit for them. They felt depressed and said that "Let's separate between us and find a job and work individually. But, let's meet one day." Then, they went separately to find a job and worked. They also had names. One is Brang Awng and one is Brang Dut. Brang Awng had little knowledge regarding sawing work. When he was working for the jobs whatever he had, one day, a rich man came to him and said that "Hi orphaned boy, you help me today." "Yes, OK. What job do you have?" said Brang Awng. "A Lagat tree that located in the Numshang valley is blocking the road. Please go and cut the tree," said the rich man. So, Brang Awng said, "Yes, OK." Brang Awng sharpened his ax and went to Numshang valley to cut the tree. When he saw the tree, the tree had some hollows. But, he was about to cut. At that time, a dragon spoke out from the hollow. "Hi Orphaned boy, please save me. I have tired of living in this hollow of this Lagat tree's root. I don't want to live here anymore. I entered and lived here when I was young but now I cannot go out because my body is bigger than the hole. Please save me. Please enlarge the hole for me to be able to come out," said the dragon. Then, the orphaned boy enlarged the hole with his ax for the dragon to come out. Before the dragon came out, the dragon said that "Don't be afraid of me when I come out. If you are afraid of me, you can turn your back to me." So, the orphaned boy turned his back to the dragon. At that time, the dragon transformed into a black snake with red eyes and left from the hole. When the dragon crawled and left, the orphaned boy was told that "The orphaned boy, because you saved me, I will give you a valuable present that can give you whatever you want. Please wait here." And, the dragon went into the river. Soon after, a small snake carried a jade with his mouth and came to the orphaned boy. "This is a gift for you for your gratitude. If you want anything, ask this jade," said the snake. "Thank you very much," said the orphaned boy and accepted the gift with two hands. From that day, the orphaned boy could eat whatever he wanted to eat if he asked the jade. If he wanted to wear good clothes, he just needed to ask the jade and he got it. Then, he also asked about a very beautiful and magnificent house and lived there. The boy said to himself that "Now, I have such everything. It is boring to live alone. I should find a spouse," and he asked two gentlemen from the village to go to the palace to ask to marry a princess. When they asked to marry the princess, the princess accepted and the parents of the princess also permitted their daughter to marry. But, when the boy's gentelmen went again to ensure to marry the princess, this time, the parents of the princess said that "If the man is truly to marry my daughter, bring a bucket of gold." Then, the orphaned man said that "If they ask for a bride, I will give as much as they ask." So, he asked for the gold from the jade and gave the parents, and then he married the princess. After they married, they lived happily. They did not need to worry about anything. They could get everything easily whatever they want. So, the wife got amazed. "This man doesn't do anything well but he provides me well and gets easily whatever. How that happens," the wife said herself. Then, she asked her husband that "Why do you get easily whatever?" "No matter how I get it. I won't tell you," said the husband. But, the wife said that "Please just tell me. I won't take from you," and she kept asking. So, the man thought that "Since she is already my wife now, she might not has dishonesty," and then, he showed the jade to his wife. After the man showed, the princess told her father about that. After the father knew, the father forcibly grabbed the jade from the man. After the king forcibly grabbed the jade, he also brought his son-in-law, orphaned man to their house, the palace. Then, the rich man (the storyteller changed here from the king to the rich man) made him a slave. They forcibly asked to do a lot of works; collecting firewoods and fetching water. The tich man also took a shower every day and asked his son-in-law to bring water for him. When he was forcibly asked to do a lot of works there, his friend, Brang Dut who was carrying a bottle gourd with water came up to him. He was very happy and told his friend all about him; how he got rich, how he became a slave. Brang Dut was very pity of him to hear and he comforted his friend that "Friend Brang Awng, no worry. Let's figure out this slowly." Brang Dut continued that "It is very good that your father-in-law wants to take a shower every day. I am even afraid that your father-in-law will not take shower." Then, Brang Dut put and mixed the water of his bottle gourd into the bucket that Brang Awng's father-in-law used to take shower. The rich man took a shower with the mixed water. After the man took shower, many swells that were like burning with fire appeared across the whole body of the rich man. So, the rich man asked his son-in-law that "Son-in-law, do you know who can heal the disease that happens to me? Can you go and find the person who can heal this?" The son-in-law called and brought his friend, Brang Dut. When Brang Dut got the rich man's house, "Hi Rich man, are you sick?" "Yes, I don't know what is happening in my body like this. If you can heal this, please heal me," said the rich man. Then, Brang Dut showed fortune calculation and said that "It seems you forcibly grabbed a valuable property of another person. Give it back to the owner otherwise, you won't be healed as long as you don't give back." "Yes, I will give it back when my disease is healed," said the rich man. "No, impossible. As long as you don't give it back, you won't be healed no matter how much I treat you. After you just give it back, I will be able to heal you," threatened Brang Dut. So, the rich man gave the jade back to the orphaned man. From that day, Brang Awng got back his jade. And, he brought his children (they already had two children) and left together with his friend, Brang Dut. He abandoned his wife who had dishonesty and asked her father to forcely grabbed his jade. Since he got back his jade, he lived richly as before and married again with another decent woman. He also arranged for his friend, Brang Dut to marry a very good girl. Then, they lived happily with their respective family. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi da ndai kahtawng langai mi kaw e kaji kaw na kanu kawa nlu mat ai la sha 2 nga ai da.
