Translation (Gun Mai) The Mali river and the Nmai river. Once upon a time, the Mali river and Nmai river had a relationship and lived together. They lived together and then, they travelled to the lowland. When they were travelling, one night, they both were sleeping. At that time, one friend said that "Hey friend, please wake me up if you wake up earlier than me. If I wake up earlier than you, I will also wake you up". The friend said "Yes" and they slept. But, while the Nmai river was still sleeping at night, the Mali river flowed silently. The Mali river kept flowing silently. When the Nmai river woke up and looked for his friend Mali river, the Mali river had already flowed ahead. So, the Nmai river said to himself that "Oh no, I have to run to reach my friend Mali river". Then, he rapidly and roughly flowed through the mountains, which was a shortcut way to be able to reach the Mali river. Since he flowed roughly to be able to reach the Mali river, until today, the Mali river flows gently but the Nmai river flows roughly with big waves over mountains and big stones because he chased the Mali river. Since then, it was like they separated. Transcription (Lu Awng) Mali hka hte nmai hka, moi shawng e da mali hka hte nmai hka shan 2 gaw rau sha ganawn wa ai re da.
