Title Mayam dut sha ai prat a lam (Human trafficking) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
In the past, there was a time when human trafficking was serious. In a small village, there was a brave and intelligent mother in a house. One morning at dawn, traffickers came to her house because they wanted to catch her children. They were hiding under the house. She knew that some strangers were hiding under her house. In the past, older women used to wear bells on their waists. She woke up and built a fire. And she took the bells and scrubbed them with the stone from the fireplace. At that time, the men under her house were moving back and forth. The woman saw them and intentionally made them laugh. She said, "The pig mother and her babies under my house are tickling each other and having fun." When they heard what she said, they laughed so hard secretly. Then, they could not control themselves, and they farted. She made them laugh more and more. She made a joke and said, "Tripod! Is it you who farted? Or the frame of a fireplace? Bamboo floor, is that you who farted?" Then, the men hiding under the house really wanted to laugh out loud, but they controlled not to make a sound. The woman knew that the men were really falling in her jokes. At that time, she took off the bells from her waist and threw them out the window. When the men heard the bell sound, they thought people in this house ran away. So, they followed towards the area where the sound came out. In the end, the woman's family successfully escaped from human traffickers.
