Translation (Dau Hkawng) A very awful host. Here is the story. As soon as the host returned home, and stepped on the door of the house, when he saw a dog, he kicked the dog. When he got to the house and he always did the same way to a cat, and his family including his children. The man was doing, as usual, beat up his family, dog, and cat. The dog and the cat could no longer stay in the house when the host always did what he did every time he came home. Dog and cat often ran away when he got home. The dog and cat fled to the house in the village and stayed there. Since then, the house and host had become poorer and poorer day by day. Eventually, the descendants of their family disappeared, living in isolation. It is the end of the story. Transcription (Lu Awng) Nta madu wa n kaja ai lam maumwi re.
