Translation (Seng Pan) This is a love story of a Great hornbill and a Rufous treepie. Once upon a time, a female bird, Great hornbill, and a male bird, Rufous treepie were in love. When the Great hornbill got pregnant, her parents called the Rufous treepie and said, "Your lover, our daughter is pregnant now. It would be the best if you marry our daughter now. Be hurry!" It seems the Rufous treepie doesn't have money. So, the Rufous treepie cried, "Kawkaling kawngkalak lak lak(sound) Great hornbill shap shap" and flew away from the place of Great hornbill's family. The female bird, Great hornbill, was so sad as her lover left her. Since she was so unhappy, her brain was blown away on banana leaves. That's why there is no brain in the Great hornbill' head till now. Since she believed that her lover, the Rufous treepie abandoned her, the Great hornbill lost her brain forever. The same as she accepted, the Rufous treepie insulted her by leaving behind a pregnant lover. Therefore, till today the Great hornbills don't have the brain.
