KK1-1927 - Wa hte u (The Pig and the Bird) with English translation

Full description

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell now is about a pig and a chicken. Once upon a time, there was a pig and a chicken. They made friends and lived happily. One day, they had to build a church. But they didn't have any money to build it. They held a meeting. The village chief was a dog. The pig and the chicken had a meeting with the dog. They said, "We still need some money to build the church." The chicken said, "I don't have anything to contribute. I will lay one egg a day and contribute it." The pig said, "I don't have eggs to give. I will contribute my body." The chicken gave her eggs every day and offered them to the church. The pig also let his meat be sold and contributed to building the church. Later, they were able to build the church. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ngai hkai na maumwi gaw wa hte u a lam re.
