Title Chyamut wa (The rusty man) with English translation
Description Translation (Gun Mai)
This morning is tell about a story. The title of the story is a faded blue guy. The faded blue guy meant a person who had a faded color and was not clean. Long long ago, there was an old couple. Since they had been getting old, they wanted a child. Although they wanted a child, they had no child. Finally, when they were quite old, the wife got pregnant and they got a baby. The baby was very small. The baby was only as big as a shrimp so they got shied to raise the baby. Because the baby was their child, they also did not want to let die. So, they put the baby on a raft and they released the raft in a river. In a quire far place, there was a Hpyihpai woman who lived next to the river. The Hpyihpai was a type of people but also mixed with nat. It was also not a witch called Lep and the Hpihpai was more advanced than the witch. The nose of the Lep was opposite side and the lep also had a feather but the Hpyihpai was just like a human. But, they were more intelligent and had more power than the humans. So, a Hpyihpai woman was taking bath. And, she heard the crying sound of the baby. So, she saw a baby was flowing on the raft throughout the river. What she then said was that "If the baby is a person who will become an honour and developed person, move to the river bank and if the baby is a person who will die, continue to flow throughout the river." The meaning was that if the baby was a person to became a powerful and a developed person, the raft of the baby should be moved to the river bank. Otherwise, if the baby was a person who would die, the raft should be continued to flow in the river. Then, the raft was automatically moved to the river bank so the Hpyihpai woman raised the baby and the baby was growing up and became an adult. When the boy became an adult, the Hpyihpai woman brought him to the farm. The boy was brought to the farm and showed different kinds of leaves. The Hpyihpai woman took a leaf and said to the boy that "Dear son, if you throw this leaf to a big mountain and wish the mountain to become a caterpillar mountain, the mountain will be transformed to a caterpillar mountain." The boy took a leaf and put it into his bag when his mother was not seeing him. When they got to another plant, the Hpyihpai woman said that "If you throw this and wish a mountain to become a fire mountain, the mountain will be transformed to a fire mountain." The boy also took a leaf of the plant secretly. The Hpyihpai woman showed the boy another leaf. "If you throw this leaf and wish to become a water wall, the water wall will be created from nothing," the Hpyihpai woman said. The water wall meant the wall with water as high as the mountain. The boy also secretly took the leaf and put it into his bag. Then, the boy was also brought into a house and showed a hammer. "Son, this is the hammer that you can wish whatever. If you hit with his hammer and wish anything you want, your wish will transform into reality. Whatever you said and hit the hammer, you will get whatever you wish," the Hpyihpai woman said and his boy noted about it as well. Then, the boy was brought to another room again and was showed a shirt. "Son, this is called 'Su Myen Lawng' and if you wear this, you can fly," the Hpyihpai woman said again. The boy also noted about it. Wait a moment.

When they were living together, the Hpyihpai woman used to go to the farm. Although she was a Hpyihpai woman, she was like a human. When the Hpyihpai woman went to the farm, if she said she would return home early, she used to return home very late. The boy saw that if his mother, the Hpyihpai woman, returned home very late, his mother was very beautiful. She was not beautiful before she left for the farm, but she returned home with very beautiful. So, the son thought to himself that "Why my mother used to return very early when she said she would return late. She used to return late when she said she would return early." So, the boy came out of the home and looked at his mother from the balcony, he saw that his mother was taking shower. When his mother was taking shower in the Nam Sanita river, the mother was getting beautiful. The boy also noted about it. One day, when the Hpyihpai woman went to the farm, he took the leaves, the hammer and also wore the shirt. He said to himself that "It is not good to stay anymore here," and he flew away. When his mother returned home, the boy had already gone. The Hpyihpai was also very sad and followed the boy because she could also fly. So, the boy threw a leaf and wished a mountain to become a caterpillar mountain wall and a very big caterpillar mountain wall was blocked between the boy, and the Hpyihpai woman. Normal people might not be able to cross the wall but the mother, Hpyihpai woman said that "That is what I taught you," and when she hit with her ning wawt (a thing that was wrapped on her breast), the caterpillar wall was disappeared. The boy continued to fly and his mother was also about to reach him. So, the boy threw another leaf and wished to become a fire wall, and a fire wall was blocked between the two. But, the mother said that "That is what I taught you," and when she hit with the ning wawt again, the fire wall was disappeared. The boy continued to fly and he had only left one leaf. So, he threw the leaf and wished to become a water wall, and a very big water wall was blocked between the boy and the Hpyihpai woman. The Hpyihpai was not able to defeat the water. "Dear son, we Hpyihpai people cannot defeat the water. I can't cross the water wall. Therefore, you are also free to go where you want to go. Let me also die here," the Hpyihpai woman said and she died after she hit her heart herself. The boy continued to fly and reached a place where the king lived. When he got to the place, he saw that the daughters of the king went to take shower in the evening. The shower place of the king's daughters was in a different way and the boy was laying down on the way. When the boy was laying down, he was dirty and ugly. All the elder sisters stepped over the boy without saying anything and returned home. But, the youngest daughter called Nang Yut said to the boy that "Gentleman, let me return home. Can you move a little bit for me?" But the boy did not move anything. They were just staying like that and it was getting dark. Nang Yut also did not step over the boy because he was a boy. Nang Yut said again that "Gentleman, it is getting dark. I have to return home. My parents will worry about me." So, the boy moved a little bit and gave way. The parents loved more Nang Yut as she was the youngest daughter. "Dear daughter, why did you late?" the parents asked. When the elder sisters were asked, they said that "She could not return home because the dirty boy was blocking the way." When Nang Yut got home, the parents asked her and she said that "It was because of like that. He moved a little bit and gave me the way now so I could return." The parents did not tell anymore because the daughter had already arrived home and lived together well. One day, the parents asked their daughter to catch fish. There had places where there were much fish. The elder sisters did not love much their youngest sister because their parents loved more the youngest daughter. Since the elder sisters did not love much Nang Yut, they caught fish in the place where there was much fish while Nang Yut was asked to catch in the upstream where there were no fish. At that time, the boy took shower and became a very handsome boy. And, the boy was sitting on the rock and pitied of Nang Yut. So, he asked Nang Yut that "What are you doing here?" "I came here to catch fish but there is no fish," Nang Yut answered. Then, the boy hit with the hammer that he brought and wished the stream to be full of fish. So, Nang Yut got a lot of fish even she was unable to carry and returned home very early. The elder sisters did not get the fish because they could not take it easily from the stream although there was a lot of fish in that place. The boy also came to the place where the elder sisters were catching fish. The boy was very dirty when the elder sisters saw him but he was very handsome now. The boy was sitting there. The elder sisters thought that the boy was a nat so they said that "Hi nat, we are also catching fish but we don't get it." Then, the boy hit with his hammer and made fish for them. When they returned home, the youngest sister, Nang Yut had already arrived at the house. When Nang Yut was preparing the food with fish, the elder sisters arrived home and gave fish to their parents. "These are what we got," the elder sisters said. "We are now cooking as well as making dry the fish that your youngest sister, Nang Yut brought," the parents said. Thus, the elder sisters were amazed and also shied, and hated more their youngest sister. Like that, the boy made the fish for them for Nang Yut.

When they were living like that, one day, an enemy came to fight against the king to be able to seize the country so the king felt depressed a lot. When the king was feeling depressed, the handsome boy came to the king and said that "King, why are you unhappy?" "It is because an enemy came to fight me to seize my country. That's why I feel depressed. My military power is also not as strong as theirs," the king said. The boy then said that "Don't worry much about that. I will help you to win the war. If I win the war, what will you give me?" "I will arrange for you to marry my daughter," the king answered. The boy also said the king to keep the promise and went to the forest. And, he hit the hammer and wished to become a large army so he got a very huge army and they defeated the enemy completely. After the fighting, he hit the hammer and wished the army to disappear so it was disappeared. Then, the king said to the handsome man that "As I promised, now you can marry my first daughter." But, the boy denied it. Then, the king showed one by one but the boy did not accept and finally, when the youngest daughter was showed, the boy accepted. So, the king arranged to marry his youngest daughter with the boy and also gave him half of the country. The elder sisters were not happy but they could do nothing. The handsome boy and Nang Yut lived happily. The elder sisters who were bad failed. This is a part of the story.
