KK1-0530 - Asak kaba ai ni hpe hkungga ra ai lam (The rich man and the old woman) with English translation

Full description

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The third story I am going to tell you is about an old woman. She wanted to go to Myitkyina, so she asked a rich man to take her there. She told him three days ago, so the man didn't remember and went to Myitkyina alone by car. He remembered her when he was already in the middle of the way to Myitkyina. Then he told the driver, "Let's go back. I forgot about the old grandmother who asked me to take her to Myitkyina. I will pay the car rental fees. Let's go back." The driver refused to go back. He told the rich man, "You just leave my car. I can't go back. I am so sorry." Then the rich man waited for another car and returned to Hpakant. He picked her up and went to Myitkyina together. On the way, he saw that the first car he rode got in an accident. Some passengers were dead, and some were seriously injured. This is a short story. However, we should learn to show respect, love, and kindness to the elders. Thank you.
