Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story's title is "Two butterflies." Once upon a time, there were two butterflies. They loved each other so much. One day, they were chatting, "When this flower is blooming, the one who arrives here first is the one who loves more." The next day, the male butterfly went there early in the morning and waited for the time when the flower would bloom. It kept waiting and waiting, but the flower didn't bloom. So, it opened the flower. Then it saw that a female butterfly was dying inside the flower. In fact, that female butterfly waited earlier than the male butterfly for the flower to bloom. It was because it wanted to show its love for the male butterfly. The male butterfly regretted what it said to the female butterfly. Transcription (Lu Awng) Gabaw gaw pilamla 2 a lam.
