Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story is about changing the farms. When it was the season to grow rice, the villagers started to clear their farms. Nangbya was lazy and didn't clear any weeds on his farm. When he looked at the other farms, they were all cleared. Then, he thought, "I can't get any rice if my farm is filled with weeds. I have to deceive a stupid man." Then Nangbya said to a man, "My friend, let's change our farms. Your farm is not good enough to grow rice. But mine is really fertile." That man said, "No, my farm is good." Nangbya said, "Look! Rice plants are not growing well on your farm. Look at mine. Green rice plants are growing high on my farm." He showed the farms to the man from a far distance. Nangbya continued, "There is only rough soil on your farm. It's not good. Look at mine! Green rice plants are growing well." That man fell for Nangbya's lie and said, "You want to change your fertile farm with my barren farm. Okay, fine." They changed their farms. That man needed to clear all the weeds and grow rice plants. Then, his farm was filled with green rice plants. Meanwhile, Nangbya didn't work. So, grass and weeds were growing on his farm again. Nangbya lied to that man again. Nangbya called him and said, "Let's climb up the tree and look at our farms. Look at your farm. It's not doing well. Let's change our farms again." That man was naive and totally fell for Nangbya's lie. So, he changed his farm with Nangbya's farm again. Transcription (Lu Awng) E ya gaw yi galai ai lam.
