Translation (Gun Mai) The third story is that long long ago when we, Kachin people first started living, the children of the parents said that "Father and mother, if you two die, how we children will be going to continue to survive. We will miss you two and we won't see you again." Then, the parent told the children that "Dear my children, although you don't see us anymore if we die, when you remember your father and mother, pucker your lips and whistle. Then, we will come to you with the cold breeze." Therefore, we, Kachin and all other people, wherever, when we whistle, the cold breeze comes. It was because the parents said that "We, your parents will come to you as the wind." It was a message of history.
