Description: | Translation (Htoi San) Now, I am telling a story about a widow with a child and a crow. A long time ago, there was a widow and her child. The widow and her child did not have a father. Mother worked only in the daytime and fed her child. Mother went for her work in the daytime and brought two packets of rice when she came home at night. She carried for her child's dinner and breakfast for the next day. Her child left himself at home alone, eating those rice packets. The mother's boss was a very good person. Her boss was so pitiful about her and her child that she put the rice plants in her basket, which the mother brought until it was packed. Mother was pleased and brought those paddy plants home. Then she showed them to her child. "My child, I brought paddy plants today." The child asked, "Mother, don't you carry the rice packets today?” "The rice packets are not given today. They only gave the rice plants," mother replied. Her child asked her, "Mother, what is the rice plant?" Mother explained, "My child, come and look. The rice we eat comes from rice plants after pounding them." "After pounding them, we will get clean rice. We can cook it, and we get the cooked rice." The child was so joyful and asked, "Mother, tell me how to pound them and how to cook them." Mother told her child, "My Child, before I explain to you about this, I want to tell you something. I will spread out these paddy plants under the sun tomorrow." "So you have to watch over these and stay home." "Don't let the birds eat them. Birds like to eat rice when they see it. Chase them out when they come." Mother gave a long stick and went to her job. The child indeed kept an eye on the rice plants the whole day. When the birds came, he chased them away. When the pigs came, he chased them away. He kept guarding the entire day, and he felt sleepy. He was thirsty, so he went for drinking water just for a while. At that time, the crows nesting from above their house ate all the paddy plants. They ate them all. Therefore the child cried a lot. "My mother worked hard and tiredly got those plants. The birds ate those. What am I supposed to do? How do I say this to my mother?" The child wept heavily. He cried loudly, "Give them back quickly. Hey birds, give the rice plants back quickly that you ate." He sobbed audibly, so the crow from above his house heard. The crow had sympathized with him. "Now, I don't know how to cook rice. I don't even know how to get the rice seeds yet, and my rice plants are gone." He cried out one thing after one thing. The crow felt sorry for him and talked to him. "Child, the one who ate your grains is me." "I don't know your mother, and you are suffering this way that much." "I cannot do anything now. I am so sorry for you. I apologize to you for that." So the child responded, "Crow, even if you beg pardon, it can't be. My mother's rice plants cannot get back." "If I don't get the paddy plants back, it is not fine for me. Give them back." The crow pleaded, "Child, I can't return you the rice plants, but I have something which might be very useful for you and your mother." "You climb up until you reach my place," the crow called the child. There was a giant banyan tree near his house. He climbed from the banyan's root and tried mounting up to reach the crow's nest. He found the crow's roost up in the tree. He discovered a gold lump placed there. The crow said, "Child, This is gold. You break off small pieces and sell them so you and your mother's lives will never be poor. You are going to be happy forever." "You can buy the rice and the rice plants with it which you like." The crow told him in detail. The child was so amazed by what was happening. When he was shocked for a long time, his mother came back home as it was sunset time already. She looked for her child when she got home, but she did not find her child and the paddy plants. She thought that her child might die so cried looking for him. When the child heard his mother's voice, he said and requested, "Crow, I have to climb down." Then he went down, bringing the gold stone. As he knew his mother was searching for him, he sought his mother and told her, "Mother, crows ate the rice plants which you dried out." "That crow called me back while I was crying out. It so pitied me as it could not give me back the rice plants." "It could not do anything as it ate them all. But it gave me a gold stone back." "If we sell this gold lump small piece by small piece, we will never be impoverished ever again." He told everything to his mother. He passed it to his mother. Mother was so happy and hugged her child. She kept that gold stone, and they did not need to work hard for their lives again. They broke off small pieces and sold them to make an investment. They lived cheerfully from that time onwards. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ndai kalang ngai bai hkai dan na maumwi gaw gaida yen nu hte u hka nga re. Moi shawng de e da gaida yen nu 2 nga ma ai da.
