Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Long time ago, this earth was all dark. So, all animals like frog, fish and prawns wanted light. Since they wanted light (daytime), they discussed that. They needed light so that they could find food well. Then crabs, prawns and many different kinds of fish had a meeting for that. When they had discussed that, one kind of frog didn't agree on that. It said, "I don't need Sun. All I need is water. I don't need Sun. I like only dark." The goliath frog told like that. Then it didn't go to ask for light too. The others went to the Sun land to ask for the light. They went to ask for the Sun to shine upon them. Since then, there was light and dark on this earth. When they got the light, they all bit that frog because it didn't go to ask for light with them together. So the spots which could be seen on a frog's body were the wound that the other animals bit. This is the end of the story. Transcription (Lu Hkawng) Moi shawng de da ndai mungkan ga ntsa kaw da nsin chyip sha naw re ai da.
