Title Baw lahkawng tu ai u (The double-headed bird) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
There was a bird. It had two heads. Both heads had different necks. One was longer than another. They never helped with one another. When they ate fruits, the one with long neck ate all. So, none was left for the one with short neck. He was always hungry and another one with long neck was always full. Moreover, they were not attached to each other. The fact was they had their own necked. One was short and another was long. Even though they shared one body, they were not attached to each other. And they always argued.
