Translation (Dau Hkawng) Long ago, there was a widowed mother and son. The widowed mother and son lived with daughter-in-law after her son married. The daughter-in-law cooked and fed her mother-in-law horse-leech, and the mother-in-law packed her inedible and shown it when her son returned home. The son told his mother that it was a horse-leech, and she died on the spot. People came to help her, but she could not get up. So the people told her to help get up at her daughter-in-law, but they hugged each other and died together. Since then, the people have said that the beehive on the tree is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng de gaida hkan nu nga ma ai da.
