KK1-1130 - Jan hpe hkrum hkrang pra pra n mu lu ai lam (Why the sun rises during the daytime) with English translation

Full description

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) We can't look directly at the sun. In the past, the sun told the moon, "I am the girl, so I feel shy to move around the earth in the daytime. I will just walk around at night." The sun said, "I feel shy to walk around the earth even though I am a boy." They were arguing over who would walk around the earth in the daytime. Then, GOD told them, "You two can't argue like that all the time. Since people will need the sunlight more, Take this porcupine while you walk. Then, people couldn't look directly at you." The sun took the porcupine every time she walked around the earth. People can't look directly at the sun because of the brightness of the porcupine.
