Description: | Translation (Mike Tu Awng) Long time ago on the earth, there were many living beings. There were those that hunted in the water for their living, and those that hunted on land for their living. One day, a quail that lived in the water and hunted for its living, and an otter that lived on land to hunt for its living met each other at a certain place. When they met, the quail asked to the otter, "Brother, you are living on land, are you happy?" The otter replied, "Yes, I am". "But there are many things to be worried about. "There are many unhappy moments just as there are happy ones", explained the otter. Then, the quail said, "You are correct brother. We, those who live in water, also have many uncertain things and encounter many dangerous enemies out there even though it looks fine sometimes." Then, this quail was quite cunningly clever and said to the otter, "Brother, if that is the case, should we change our places? You come and live-in water and I will live on land." The otter said, "I agree, brother. If you agree, I like the idea." As they both agreed and decided that the otter should go to live in water for its living from that moment on. The quail also went on to land to live and to hunt for its living on land as they agreed. That is the reason that till today otters live in water and catch fish for their living. The quail also remains on land till today and hunts for its living on land. As the time passed the quail missed the fish it used to catch when it lived in water. When it was getting dark in the evening, before it went to sleep, the quail made sound like, 'hkrawn hkrawn, hkrawn, nga baw, nga baw, because it longed for the fish it used to eat. The fish heads the quail used to eat were very delicious and now it longed to eat them again. Nowadays, when the sun is setting in the evening, the quails make sound like 'nga baw hkrawn hkrawn, nga baw hkrawn hkrawn' out of longingness for the fish-heads they used to eat from the streams and rivers. This became a story till today.
