Title Nang Bya ma langai mi hpe masu ai lam (Nang Bya lying to a child) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
The story is about Nangbya lying to a child. A child teased Nangbya, "Hello! I heard that you could lie to everyone. Lie to me too." Nangbya said, "Okay then. But I forgot to take my liar bottle under my pillow. Can you go take it?" The child said, "Yes, I will go." Then, he went to Nangbya's house and searched for a liar bottle under Nangbya's pillow. The houses in the past had no windows. When the child was inside the house, Nangbya closed the door tight from outside. The child was scared and crying the whole day. When it was getting dark, the neighbours heard the child crying inside Nangbya's house. So, they told Nangbya, "Why did you lock him inside your house?" Nangbya said, "He told me to lie to him. So, I lied to him. But he totally fell for my lie. So, he had to stay inside the house." Since then, the child didn't dare tease Nangbya.
