Description: Translation (Gun Mai) Long long ago, there was a rural village near Mali and Nmai rivers confluence. In the village, there were two siblings girls namely Hkawn Nan and Lu Mai together with their parents. One day, their father was passed away. Because the father was passed away, their mother, his wife kept crying because of sorrow. Because she kept crying for quite a while, the woman's eyes were hurt. Because their mother's eyes were hurt and staying in the room, the two siblings girls had been finding the medicine for their mother. No matter how much they made efforts to treat their mother, the eyes of their mother were not cured. Because their mother's eyes were not cured, they felt depressed. So, they announced to every village that "If there is anyone who can cure the eyes of our mother, we will marry the person." When they announced so, one day, a man who carried a medicine bag came to them. The man came to them and said that "Hi two girls, you said that you will marry me if I can cure the eyes of your mother. Will you really marry me?" The elder sister, Hkawn Nan promised that "Yes, we will marry the person who can cure the eyes of our mother. We will definitely marry the person." So, the man cured the eyes of their mother. Then, the elder sister, Hkawn Nan was interested in the man who cured their mother. Thus, she worried that her younger sister would marry him. So, she said that "Dear man, according to our culture, the elder sister should marry first. Therefore, I will be the one who will cook the rice for you." "OK, if you want, I am OK with either of you," said the man. The man continued that "But, I will tell you first about where I came from and how kind of person I am. I am not a human. I am a prince of the dragon king from the Mali Nmai rivers confluence." After the man said so, Hkawn Nan was scared then. Because the man said he was a dragon, she got scared. So, she told her younger sister, Lu Mai that "My younger sister Lu Mai, since I am older and mature, I will take care and look after our mother at home. You marry this man." The younger sister did not deny it as she just thanked the man for curing their mother so she just followed the man without any complaint. She followed the man and when they got on the river bank, the man said to Lu Mai that "Dear Lu Mai, please blink your eyes seven times." So, after she blinked her eyes seven times, they were already standing in a very magnificent palace. Then, they married there and lived very happily. They also got a baby. After quite a while, Lu Mai missed her elder sister and mother and wanted to meet with them. Thus, she was just staring like something was wrong. So, her husband asked that "Dear wife, you live happily in this such perfect house but you look something wrong. Don't you dare to be my wife anymore?" "No, it is not that I don't dare to be your wife. I feel unhappy because I want to meet with my mother and my elder sister, who are living at home," said the wife. So, the husband permitted his wife to go and meet with her mother and elder sister. Thus, Lu Mai carried a basket of gold and her baby and returned her mother and sister. When she got home, the mother and the elder sister were very happy. The elder sister thought that because her younger sister became a dragon's wife, the younger sister might not be a human anymore. But, the younger sister and her baby were real humans and also carried a gold basket. So, the elder sister was amazed a lot. Also happy a lot. Then, the younger sister also frankly told about her experience that she was very happy in the dragon palace. The elder sister was jealous of her younger sister and she wanted to be in the palace again. She brought her younger sister to the forest to pick fruits. They went to the forest and got to a tree that fruited many fruits. The elder sister said to her younger sister that "Climb to the tree and pick the fruits." So, the younger sister left her baby at the trunk of the tree. Then, she climbed the tree and dropped very beautiful fruits at her elder sister. But, the elder sister kept saying that the fruits weren't ripe and not good enough. And, she asked her younger sister to climb a higher and small branch and pick the fruits there. So, as soon as the younger sister climbed on the small branch, the elder sister pinched the baby of the younger sister on the ground so the baby cried. And, the elder sister yelled that "There is a tiger, a tiger!". Thus, the younger thought that her baby was pulled by the tiger and was shocked, so she fell from the tree and died. Then, the elder sister carried the baby of her younger sister and also carried the gold basket. and then, she went to the dragon palace. The two sibling sisters were very alike. The faces and the body shapes of both sisters were very alike even almost impossible to differentiate that who was the elder sister and who was the younger sister. Thus, even though the elder sister carried the bay and came back to the palace, the husband, dragon just thought she was his wife and they lived happily. There was a woman who looked after the baby. The woman carried the baby and used to bring the baby to the garden that is located outside. There was a bird who used to call "My baby, my baby!" on a tree in the garden. When the bird was calling so, the woman heard the voice but she did not see any person and just saw a bird. So, she was amazed. So, she asked the bird that "Hey bird, why are you calling like that? The baby who I am looking after is the baby of the dragon in the palace. Why you said your baby?" But, the bird kept calling like that every morning. So, the woman asked again that "Hey bird, The baby who I am looking after is the baby of the dragon in the palace. Why are you calling as you baby?" So, the bird said that "This is my baby. My elder sister did to me like that like that. So, I became a bird." "So, why don't you tell to your husband?" asked the woman. Because Lu Mai was very good, she answered that "Woman, let it be. Don't tell about this anyone in this palace. It is OK that if my elder sister is living happily here. Let it be. I am enough that if I can meet my baby like this when you bring the baby here." Every morning, the bird also used to talk even before the people woke up. So, Hkawn Nan asked her husband that "We married and have been living for 3 years. Do you really love m?" "I really love you. Love you forever," answered her husband. "If you really love me, please do one thing for me," said Hkawn Nan. "Not only one thing. I will do whatever you said," said the husband. "Please kill the bird that used to talk in the early morning on the tree," said Hkawn Nan again. Hkawn Nan knew that the bird was her younger sister because the more she listened to the voice of the bird, she was aware more that it was the voice of her younger sister, Lu Mai. So, she knew that her younger sister became a bird and followed her. So, she asked her husband to kill the bird. Then, when the husband was pointing to shoot the bird with the arrow, the woman who was looking after the baby said that "Dear prince, you cannot kill the bird. The bird is your wife, Lu Mai who married you." "Woman, what a stupid! My wife is still sleeping in the house," the prince said. The woman told again that "Dear prince, if you don't believe it, you can ask well the bird." So, when the prince asked, the bird, Lu Mai who was sitting on the tree told from the beginning to the end. The dragon got angry also sorrowful. So, he transformed Lu Mai from a bird to a human with dragon medicine. And also, he transformed the elder sister, Hkawn Nan from a human to a bird with the dragon medicine. Then, they lived happily. It was happened like that because of greed. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi da ndai mali nmai zup makau kaw e nam kahtawng langai mi nga ai da.

The woman told again that "Dear prince, if you don't believe it, you can ask well the bird." So, when the prince asked, the bird, Lu Mai who was sitting on the tree told from the beginning to the end. The dragon got angry also sorrowful. So, he transformed Lu Mai from a bird to a human with dragon medicine. And also, he transformed the elder sister, Hkawn Nan from a human to a bird with the dragon medicine. Then, they lived happily. It was happened like that because of greed. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi da ndai mali nmai zup makau kaw e nam kahtawng langai mi nga ai da.
