Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai & Keita Kurabe) I am going to tell you a story about a man who trapped the tiger by making offerings to guardian spirits. Once upon a time, there was a village. In a normal village, there would be many families living there. However, there were only three households in that village. There were only three households. Only in one of them, a boy was born. Since he was a little boy, he was interested in hunting birds, boars, tigers, and other animals. Hunting birds, boars, and other animals, he grew up. From the time he was a little boy, since his village was far away from other villages, tigers attacked his village. The tigers attacked not only the pigs, cows, and buffaloes but also people. Like that, the tigers attacked people. From a young age, the boy had seen tigers attacking people. And so, even after he grew up, he wanted to trap the tigers one day. So the young man set a trap for the tigers. But no matter how many traps he set, the tigers would not be trapped. Since the tigers did not get caught in the trap, he went to the porch, gave liquor to the guardian spirits, prayed, and set the trap. "Now I will set a trap for the tiger." "Give me the ability to be able to catch the tigers, please," he said. He gave liquor and prayed. But he could not catch any tigers. Since he could not catch any tigers, by offering chickens, pigs, and cows to the guardian spirits, he set the trap once again. In the mountains, people used to build fences with bamboo and wood, spread iron chains there, and set a trap in the path. But he still could not catch the tigers yet. Then, he offered to the guardian spirits again. Offering to the guardian spirits, he ambushed the tigers at the edge. When he waited, another watchman was also waiting saying, "When will the tiger come?" When they waited, a tiger attacked and ate the watchman. The watchman was attacked. The tiger was so fierce that the young man wanted to kill the tiger even more than before. He became annoyed and not only he prayed to the guardian spirits again, but also he called the spirit of the watchman killed by the tiger and prayed to him. "My friend, the tiger has dragged you away and eaten you." "Not only that, it has attacked our village as well." "Give me the strength and power to kill it." He gave him liquor and prayed. Finally, he was able to catch the tiger. Since that day, he has been able to trap many tigers. Since he caught so many tigers, his name became known in many villages. People called him whenever they wanted to kill the tigers. Because he was able to kill the tigers, the chiefs from other villages gifted him and people praised him a lot. This is the end of the story. In the past, when people wanted something or when they could not do it themselves, they asked for help from guardian spirits. People in the past told this story in this way. Thank you very much. Transcription (Ja Seng Roi) Ya hkai dan na maumwi gaw "Gumgun gumhpai nat jaw nna sharaw hkam ai lam" re.
