Translation (Htoi San) Here is about a hunter. The hunter went hunting, and it was getting dark, so he got to sleep in a hollow log house for that night. Then he did not know what he considered. "Tonight is Mu Hkyi Din Tarin (Thunder rolling stoolball)." While he was saying that demons entered that hollow log house playing three gongs. The hunter kept on saying, "Tonight is Mu Hkyi Din Tarin! Tonight is Mu Hkyi Din Tarin!" The demons were afraid of what would be going on tonight while playing the gongs. At that time, the hunter stayed on the central hearth and wiped down creepers and shields from the central place. Then the demons understood that as "Mu Hkyi Din Tarin," and they all ran away. The demons brought the gongs and other instruments hanging in the hollow log house for playing the death dance. They all threw away those things as the hunter wiped down continuously from the central hearth. So the hunter got the gongs and a bead necklace deriving from fossilized plant matter. Here is the end of the story.
