Title Kanu a tsawra myit (The mother's love) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
The story I am going to tell you is about a mother's love. Once in a village, there was a mother and her child. Her child was a boy. Then, a lady was walking past his house, and he fell for her. Later, they became friends. The boy confessed his feelings for her and asked for her answer. When he asked for her answer, she said, "If you really love me, bring me your mother's heart." Then the boy quickly went back to his house. His mother was sleeping when he arrived home. He couldn't think twice and took his mother's heart. And he gave it to the lady whom he loved. At that time, she said, "How could you break your mother's chest and bring her heart to me!?" She slapped him and went back to her place.
