Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This happened a long time ago. At that time, we didn't really understand different dialects, such as Jinghpaw and Maru. A Maru woman married a Jinghpaw man. They didn't speak the same language, so it was a bit difficult for them to communicate. Later, they had a son. They adored him so much. When the mother was working, they even hired a nanny to take care of the baby. The husband tried to call out his wife 'Nu e' (which means 'Mom', but some use 'Nu' when they call their wives), but because they couldn't speak the same language, it sounded like 'Bamu e' (which means 'Mountain' in the Maru language). He said, "Come take care of the baby. He is crying." His calling to his wife sounded like he was calling the mountain nat to come to take care of the baby. The mountain nat replied, "Okay." The husband heard the sound, but it was the nat responding to him. The nat took the baby's soul. The baby, who had been active even that afternoon, died at night. Therefore, when people take babies somewhere near the mountains, they speak very clearly if the baby needs care. Our ancestors always remind us. The man wanted to tell his wife to come take care of the baby, but because he did not speak clearly, the mountain nat took the baby. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ndai gaw moi na nat prat re majaw re nga.
