Translation (Roi Ban) A Long time ago, there was a village where robbers often came to rob. There was one dowager in that village. She was pretty wealthy. There were robbers who often entered and took all the things and killed people in that village. One night, a rich widow, being asleep, waited for the robbers to enter her house. When the wealthy widow sat near the fireplace in the living room, she did not sleep yet. All the robbers were hiding downstairs. One robber farted at that time, so the wealthy widow was wake up. She thought that tonight there were robbers in her house and she was so scared. Even though she was afraid, she was pretended to benot frightened. Then She said, "You share Jare, Dap Kawp Ja tawp (rhyming words: Are you farting? Are you making the farting sound "put"?" As she was talking to the others. The robbers kept silent, and she asked again, "Share Jare, Dap kawp Ja Tawp, are you making the farting sound "Tit" or "put"?". She was pretending and asked again and again. "Your farting sound is Put! Or Tit"? as if the farting was made by "Dap Kawp" or "Share". That made all the robbers unable to control themselves and they laughed, so they run out of that house laughing. When all the robbers went out of the house, she also went out of the house quickly. Therefore she could escape from the danger of the robbers. The story finishes here. People must be clever in talking, and because of this, the widow could escape from the danger of the robbers. That's why we need to be wise in speaking, and it can save us from danger. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi da kahtawng langai mi kaw e oh dai kahtawng de gaw damya ni grai sa sa re da.
