Title Kasha hpe grai tsaw ra na ta maum da ya ai wa (A child with a burned finger) with English translation
Description Translation (Htoi San)
Here is a story about a man who loved his son very much so that he kept his son's hand in his mouth. A long time ago in a village, there was a couple who had their first baby boy. One day, that boy got a boil on his index finger. It was pretty big and swollen, so the baby cried a lot. The baby cried day and night, and then the father did not know what to do. One night, the father put his son's finger into his mouth and kept it the whole night. The following morning, the son's big knobby finger was delicate as his father kept it in his mouth all night long, so all the fluid and pus came out.
