Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In the past, when the Kachin people ruled some parts of China, there was a smart man. He took the things from the water and made them dry. And he put them into the bamboo segment. Then, he foretold exactly. "We didn't have rain for a long time. It is always sunny, so we couldn't grow and raise any vegetables. I heard that there is a Kachin foreteller whose prediction is always right. Make him serve me. I don't believe if I couldn't ask for fortune by myself. I will ask him directly how true his prediction is," said the King. The servants called him in front of the King. The foreteller shook his bamboo segment and said, "My Lord, people couldn't grow anything in your country since the weather is sunny all the time. in the 9th village from here, there will be a cotton tree. Cut that cotton tree and sink under the water." The King let his servants do exactly as the man said. Then, it rained. Before the foreteller told the predictions, he asked the King, "What will you give me if I foretell about this country?" Then the King said, "I will give you my only daughter and half of my country too." He got the beautiful princess and half of China. He ruled the country, and there grew many and many vegetables and fruits. Since the country which ruled by a Kachin King was prosperous, Chinese thought that Kachin people would bully them. Chinese thought a plan. They planned to kill Kachin people. They thought to kill Kachin people. But it was not good if all Kachin people had died. Then, the Kachin King heard that news. The King said, "In this part of the country, people feed the dogs only at night and don't feed them in the morning. In the other part of the country, people feed the dogs only in the morning and don't feed at night. That is not good if all people die. So, people who forgot to feed the dogs at night will be dead. People who feed the dogs at night will be alive." The King said like that. He also heard the grudge of the dogs. When he told about that, no one believed him. People who lived together in one part of the country and didn't feed the dogs at night really died. We have this kind of story that people didn't feed the dogs at night were dead. So, even now, our elders always say that we have to feed the dogs at night. The dogs could forgive us if we forget to feed them in the morning because we are busy working. At night, we make sure to feed the dogs. In the past, we had to feed the dogs and the cats when we ate the first crop. Before we knew about Jesus Chris, we fed the dogs and the cats first because they took care of our lives. When we cooked the first crop, we fed the dogs first.
