Translation (Rita Seng Mai) While we were living in Kumba Tu village in the past, there was an airplane flown from Sumpra Bum (a city in Kachin State) to Hkindu Yang (a village in Kachin State). Then, we, Kumba Tu villagers shouted, "Oh Pahkyi, make this plane crash!" As everyone shouted, after flying around 5 times, one of the plane's wing was broken off and was fallen on a house. Today, that broken plane has already been pulled down by Myanmar government. "Pahkyi" is a kind of Nat. If we know how to worship and give offerings to that Nat, there will increase family members in our family. There will increase population. There will be many (newborn) pigs and chickens. (you) will get wealthier and properties. If we don't know how to worship and give offerings to that Nat well, there can be this serious like the whole family could even die. If we know how to do well, that Nat is a great help for human. Transcription (Lu Awng) Shawng de anhte kumba tu mare kaw e nga ai aten hta e ndai nbungli sumpra dum kaw na hkindu yang de sa ai.
