Translation (Dau Hkawng) Son, who did not want Mother. Once upon a time, there was a family in a village. The son did not want his mother and asked her to take care of his child. The child had been running back and front of the house all day. Grandmother said to his grandson, "Don't run around like that, You will fall." But the child did not listen to her and he just kept running. Soon, in the evening, the child fell to the ground and died. Thereupon, "Oh My God! My God!" grandmother cried out and groaned. The parents returned as she held the dead child, "You killed my son on purpose and deliberately" as the father of a child cried out and beat his mother without stopping. The grandmother said, "Son, I didn't do it." She said to her son. "Why should I kill my Grandson?" Even though she explained a lot, the son continued to beat his mother. The mother could no longer felt the pain, and said to his son, "Take me to the cemetery and kill me there." "Let me die where your father died," mother continued to her son. "Take me there!" shouted mother. Then, "Let's go," the son replied to his mother, and he beat his mother to death in the cemetery. At that moment, the ground cracked, and the earth swallowed her son. This is the end of the story that I am telling. Transcription (Lu Awng) Kanu nra ai lam. Moi shawng de mare langai mi kaw masha htinggaw mi nga ma ai da. Dai gaw kanu hpe nra ai ma woi shangun ai.
