Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about Nangbya. He could lie to everyone. He was very good at lying. One day, he saw about 500 ducks in the lake while he was walking near it. Then, he sat beside it and thought about how to lie to others. At that time, a trader walked past the river and saw Nangbya. He asked Nangbya, "What are you doing there?" Nangbya answered, "I am looking after these ducks." Then, the trader said, "That much!? Can you sell those ducks to me?" Nangbya said, "Why should I? I won't." The trader insisted on saying, "Please, sell them to me." So, Nangbya sold the ducks to him. He said, "Give me some money." The trader gave him the money which he asked for. But the ducks were not Nangbya's ducks. He was just lying to the trader. Nangbya asked the trader, "When will you take all these ducks?" "At dusk," said the trader. Then, Nangbya said, "When you take the ducks, drop a banana trunk into the lake." The trader believed him and did as he advised. When he threw the banana trunk into the lake, all the ducks ran away. The trader got mad at Nangbya and chased him. Next time, Nangbya thought of an idea how to con money from others. Then, he went to a funeral where people were playing cards by taking some chicken feathers. While they were sleeping at night, Nangbya put some chicken feathers in the mouth of the corpse. The next morning, Nangbya said to the owners of the funeral house, "Your corpse ate my chicken! You need to pay back." He conned people and got some money from them. Another story is about Nangbya and a tiger. They were friends. One day, Nangbya said, "My friend tiger, the rainy season will come soon. I think we should build a house to stay in, so that we won't get wet when it's raining heavily." But Nangbya shirked from doing his work. He didn't build his house well. He didn't fence and didn't build the walls too. Meanwhile, the tiger built his house nicely. The tiger asked him, "Have you finished building it?" Nangbya's house was like an opened hall. There was no wall or roof. Then, the tiger said, "Oh! Your house has no wall and roof." "It's good. We can look at the stars at night. In the daytime, we can see if thieves or strangers come to this house. So, I didn't build them on purpose." Then, the tiger fell for Nangbya's lie and said, "Let's change our houses." Nangbya pretended like he didn't want to change and said, "No, I don't want to." But the tiger insisted on changing the houses. In the end, they changed their houses. After two or three months, the rainy season had come. Then, the tiger got wet whenever it was raining. He was cold. Then, he went to Nangbya. But Nangbya drove him out. The tiger got furious and thought, "I will kill him." He chased Nangbya to kill him. Nangbya ran into the forest where there grew short trees. He knew that there were many beehives on the trees. The beehives were only three or four feet above the ground. Then, Nangbya sat on the tree and was waiting for the time when the tiger would come. When the tiger arrived there, he got confused and asked, "Why are you sitting on the tree?" Nangbya said, "I am guarding an ancient gong which shouldn't be played." The tiger didn't believe him and said, "No, I will hit it." Nangbya said, "Don't hit it. You can't." But the tiger insisted on hitting the beehives, which he thought as the gongs. Then, Nangbya said, "Okay, if you really want to play it. I will go to another hill first before you play it. I will give you the signal when would be the perfect time to play it. When you hear me shouting 'Ohhhh', hit the gong." Nangbya went to another hill that was far away from the beehives. And he shouted 'Ohhhh'. At that time, the tiger hit the beehive with all of his strength. Many bees were coming out and stung him. The tiger was mad at Nangbya and chased him to kill. That's all for now. Let's continue the story next time. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ndai nangbya na lam re nga ai.
