Translation (Gun Mai)
A long time ago, there was a woman who had married and had a baby. But, because she did not have a babysitter and her husband also went to another job, only she and her baby went to the field as she had to pluck the grass a lot. She also could not carry the baby on her back when she worked. The baby also could not move a lot yet. So, she made her baby slept in the hut and left to pluck the grass. At that time, a bear came across the hut and saw the baby. And, the bear took the baby and adopted him in the jungle. The bear just fed honey and the baby had been growing up. Since the child only ate honey and did not eat salt, his hairs were getting so long. Because the child was human, he was getting human sense. When he looked at his body, the whole body was with hair. When he looked at the bear, the bear did not look like him so he was amazed. Some merchants passed through the jungle. The child saw that the merchants had no hair but he had. He was thinking himself about that. And, he was not asked to do anything. Just allowed to stay at home. He was just asked to watch the house. They just stayed at a treehouse on the top of a tree with the floor. The bear also did not eat the baby and just adopted him because the baby was very adorable. The bear used to go to take the honey to feed the baby. When the bear said that "I will be very long today," the bear just came back very quickly. When the bear said that "I will be very quick today," the bear was very long that day and just came back after it got dark. If it said to back very quickly, it was long. Isn't it? If it is said to be very long, just used to back very quickly. The bear also used to bring the honey. So, the child noted about it. The child thought to himself that "If it is said to back quickly, it used to long. If it is said to be long, it used to very quick." One day, the bear said, "I will be very quick." On that day, the merchants passed through the jungle. The child talked to the merchants that "Hi gentlemen." When the merchants looked at the child, the child was full of hairs. The child continued that "Please bring me to the village where you stay." After the merchants brought the child to the village, the bear returned home and did not see the child. So, the bear cried herself that "If you return home, tell me that you will leave me in advance since a couple of days ago. I will take and send the honey to you. Wails." Because the bear had been taking care of the baby for a long time, the bear deeply loved the child. So, the bear cried when the baby left. The story is ended here. Therefore, during the nat worship era, it should not make the baby sleep alone either at home or at the field.
