Translation (Gun Mai) A long time ago, there were abundant robbers in a country. There were a lot of robbers in the village. There was a smart boy amid the robbers. He was very clever and thought to himself that "How should I react when the robbers come to my house to rob." Soon later when he thought so, the robbers came to his house. The boy's house was very big. The boy also made his house empty. And, he just put a big box in the house. Then, the boy entered and was staying inside the box When the boy was staying inside the box, the robbers were also entering the house. Then, the robbers looked around the house. They saw nothing in the whole house but finally, they found the big box so the robbers said that "Yes, it is very good. Let's carry this box together." They did not see the boy who was inside the box and they carried it. They carried the box and left the house. It was at night. When they were carrying the box, they got tired so they took a rest in front of the palace. They took a rest under a tree and said that "Ah.. very tired. This box is very heavy. What is inside the box? Let's open and see." So, when they opened the box, they saw the boy and they ran away because they were shocked. After they ran away, from that day, they did not come back to the village again. Although the robbers did not come back again anymore, the King was always kept alert for the time that the robbers would come to him. He kept alert and also scared of. The boy said to the king that "King, don't be afraid anymore. Because of my trick, they have gone. Now, they don't dare to come and rob to our village anymore." Then, the king said that "How did you trick them?" "Because I knew that they will come to us and my house, I kept away all my stuff when they came to my house. Then, I just left the big box and stayed and waited for them inside the box. When they got to my house, they carried me and took a rest in front of the palace. They thought that there would be gold stuff inside the box but when they opened it, I shocked them so they all ran away. Now, they won't come back anymore," the boy said. Thus, the kind said to the boy that "You are a very smart boy. You even could drove the robbers away with your brain. So, you can also rule the country." Then, the king brought the boy to the palace and gave his throne to the boy. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi kalang mi hta da mungdan langai dai kaw gaw damya grai sawng ai da.
