Title Woi gaw shinggyim masha kaw na byin tai mat wa ai lam (The origin of the monkey) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Now, I am going to talk about how monkeys were descended from humans. Once in a village, there was a family that had some playful, naughty children. They were so playful, even when their mother was cooking. Then the mother got angry and beat her children with the cooking paddle. Unfortunately, her children became monkeys because of her curse. That is why monkeys have similar physical appearances as humans.
