Translation (Htoi San) I am telling the story about the widow and her son carrying the last year's crops. A long time ago, there were a widow and her son. They both did not know how to cut and clear the paddy field. So they counted the bundle of old paddy which other people did and lived for their livings. One day, while they counted the paddy bundle, the sun was so hot, and the mother was thirsty. So she asked her son to fetch the water. Then, the son went to a very far gorge holding a water bottle to fetch the water. The boy went to get the water near the rock, and he saw crabs, prawns, and small fish on the rock. So, as a child, he went up the river to pick them up until sunset. He totally forgot about the water his mother asked for, and he just enjoyed it over there. He was catching fish when it was sunset, and he remembered the fetching water, "My mother is so thirsty and asking me to get water. Now I have to get out of the water." So then, he carried the water and went back to his mother. But his mother passed away due to her thirst. The boy felt sin as his mother died because of him, and he was so sad. He shouted and cried to his mother again and again. Finally, he cried out loud for his mother's death. Therefore, his heart burst out, and he also died. His mother became water. And the son became an eagle. When he turned into an eagle, he was thirsty and wanted to drink water. So he went to the water valley to drink, but all the water turned to blood, so he could not drink it. It was summer, and the eagle shouted "Pyu, Pyu," calling out to his mother, so it was named Pyu Pyu summer. Between April and May of every year, the weather is hot. So when cultivating the paddy field, the eagles make sounds like "Pyu Pyu" for wanting to drink water, but they cannot drink it. So the eagles are shouting and crying out those sounds around this season. That's why children need to respect and obey their parents' words and do faithfully as they request you to do.
