Description: Translation (Seng Pan) Once upon a time, there was an elderly couple. They didn't have any children, but they loved each other a lot. They lived happily. One day, the old man informed his wife that he would go for collecting wood. And he went to the forest to collect the firewood. In the forest, he stepped on a vine that could make the human lost the way. The old man lost his way and roamed around the mountain for three, four days. Thus, he was so thirsty. As he walked around, he arrived at the spirits' waterfall. He craved for the water so much. Therefore, he drew the water from the spirits' water and drank it. Soon after the old man drank that water, he transformed into a strong young man. He became a handsome man, but his voice didn't change. It was still an old man's voice. He drank the water in the spirits' waterfall till he felt satisfied and surprised that his body had turned into a young man body. After that, he returned home. The old man put down the firewood and said to his wife, "I couldn't come back to you after two, three days. I am so sorry." "Who are you?" the old wife replied. "I am your husband," he answered. "It's impossible that you are him. My husband is so old. And all his hair has already turned grey. How could it be possible?" the wife replied. "Yes, I am your husband. I lost my way in the forest for two, three days. And I arrived at a waterfall. I drank the water from it since I was so thirsty. Then, my body changed into this," the husband explained. "If you say so, I also want to drink," the wife said. "Ok. Then, you go and drink that water tomorrow. I will show you the way," the husband replied and gave her the direction to the waterfall. And the wife went to bed by eagerly waiting the next morning to go to the waterfall. At midnight, she got up and went to the forest since she couldn't wait for the sunrise anymore. When the old wife arrived there, she drank the water heartily. So, she transformed into a crawling infant. And she was not able to go back home. The infant crawled around the waterfall. Since the old wife hadn't returned home after a long time, the husband followed her to the forest. He found out there was an infant near the waterfall. When he spoke to the infant, "I am your wife," the infant replied. The husband got so shocked. The young man or the husband lifted the infant and went back home. At last, he had to look after the infant, his wife. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi kalang mi hta da asak grai kaba dinggai yen dingla nga ai da.
