Translation (Dau Hkawng) Once upon a time, a hunter named “Ma Brang” who was a great hunter in a village. He was a very great hunter. From an early age, he was an expert and skilful hunter in the jungle. He worked not only as a great hunter but also as a farmer. So he shot the animals that came to the farm, and he used to hunt privately in the forest at that time. One day, he was living like that, and there was a village headman called “Dukaba,” from the great hunter’s village. The village headman wanted to feed the wild meat as a big feast at his daughter's wedding, so he asked the great hunter, "You have to find seven deer, seven wild boars, and seven other animals within seven days in this week." After that, "I can't give promise for that much. It will be fine if as much as I can get them because they are prey in the forest," the great hunter replied to the headman. When he said that, "You're such a great hunter, and you hunted until became known as a great hunter, can't you even help me?" the headman shouted and kept him in prison for not being able to help. The village headman imprisoned the great hunter and led his servants into the forest to hunt for his daughter's wedding. They did not know where the wild boars were fleeing when they left and went into the forest, even though they were teeming with wild boars. Even though they went to the place where the deer were crossing, and they were upset and disappointed for a long time because they did not know where the deer were crossing. While hunting was difficult, the village headman is attacked by a wild boar and stabbed with tusk to death, and they were getting into big trouble. So her daughter, who was getting married, asked a great hunter named "Mabrang," why this happened to her father. Then, he replied, "It was because he was immature and experience hunting," to the village headman's daughter. "He asked me to hunt much wild meat, then when I told him I could not guarantee, he put me in jail." continued the great hunter. The village headman's daughter, who was will be getting married, has released him and postponed her wedding. Then, "Go and hunt for wild meat just as much as you can, not during these seven days, but within the next seven days," pleaded to the great hunter. "Just hunt for as much as you can," I will feed that at the wedding," she continued. With that, the great hunter wanted to thank her for releasing him from prison, and he went hunting in the jungle to pay tribute to his release from prison. While hunting in the jungle, he got seven wild boars, seven deer, and other animals during those seven days, exceeding their expectations before for wedding. As a result, she greatly rewarded the great hunter with gifts, and it was said that by the people, she lived as the daughter of a village headman who supported and encouraged his hunting career.
