Title Lapawp gaw shinggyim masha ni hpe matsat ai (Why snails loathes men) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
In the past, every living thing could understand each other's language. One day, a group of people went into the forest to harvest bamboo shoots. They took only the soft parts of bamboo shoots and threw the hard parts. When those bamboo shoots were rotten, the snails came to eat those shoots. While a snail family were eating those rotten bamboo shoots, people walked past them. Then, the baby snail told his mother, "Mom, people are walking past us." The mother snail was annoyed and said, "Hey, why are you talking about them? It's disgusting!" They ate the bamboo shoots that people cut and felt disgusting. The snails always ate those rotten bamboo shoots. In the past, snails disliked people. But now, people feel disgusting by snails. The snails used to eat the rotten bamboo shoots that people cut. This is the end of the story.
