KK1-0887 - Pringprawng htingnu (The lazy liar) with English translation

Translation (Gun Mai) The title is Pring prawng hall. The pring prawng hall means that there was a man who was very lazy and also good at lying. No one loved him in his village because he was very lazy. So, when he was wandering in other villages where no one from his village had been and seen, he saw a very beautiful girl. He saw the beautiful girl and when he said about he loved her, the girl asked him that "What do you have? Do you have a house?" "I have," answered the man and the girl asked again that "What kind of house is that?" "Pring prawng hall," answered the man. The girl thought that the 'hall' meant perhaps quite a big house. The girl also asked that "Do you also have cattle?" "There are many cattle as wide as the Namsan plain," said the man. Then, the girl asked again that "Do you have a mother?" "No," answered the man. "Do you still have a father?" asked the girl. "No," said the man. Thus, the girl thought that the man was a wealthy man so she followed the man. She followed him and when they got to the man's house, they were entering into a tattered house. The joists of the house had been damaging. Then, the girl surprisingly said that "You said that you have a magnificent house?" "I did not say a magnificent house. I just said pring prawng hall. This is it," said the man. The girl could not do anything as she had already followed mistakenly him. The pring prawng hall meant that the ancestors used to make a house's floor with split and flattened bamboo on 3 or 4 layers of long Nmai Hka bamboo. After the floor with split and flattened bamboo damaged, if it was stepped on this side, it rose on the other side. And if it was stepped on the other side, it rose on this side. Pring prawng hall meant such a house. The girl continued to stay with the man because she had already mistakenly followed him and could not do anything. When they had been living, the girl said that "Since we are very poor, you said that you have many cattle. Let's sell the cattle." "OK, there are many cattle as wide as the plain," said the man. When they got to the plain, the girl pointed out a cattle but the man said it was another person's cattle. When the girl also pointed out another cattle, the man said that it was also the cattle of the other person. There were no cattle of the man. Therefore, the girl wrongly married the poor man because she did not understand what the man said. It is the end. Transcription (Lu Awng) Gabaw gaw pringprawng htingnu da.

译文（Gun Mai 译）
标题为《Pring prawng hall》。Pring prawng hall指的是一个非常懒惰且善于说谎的男人。由于他极度懒惰，村里无人喜欢他。于是，当他在一个没有本村人去过或见过的陌生村子游荡时，遇到了一位非常美丽的女孩。他向女孩表白爱意，女孩问道："你有什么？有房子吗？"男人回答"有"，女孩接着问"是什么样的房子？"男人答"Pring prawng hall"。女孩以为"hall"意味着一栋很大的房子。女孩又问"你有牛吗？"男人说"牛多如Namsan平原般广阔"。随后女孩问"你有母亲吗？"男人答"没有"；"还有父亲吗？"男人也答"没有"。此时女孩认为他是个富有的人，便跟随他而去。跟随他到家后，映入眼帘的却是一间破败不堪的房屋，屋梁已损坏。女孩惊讶地问："你说你有一栋很棒的房子？"男人答："我没说很棒的房子，只说是Pring prawng hall，就是这间。"女孩因已误跟而来，无可奈何。Pring prawng hall指的是祖先用Nmai Hka长竹铺3至4层，再在上面铺设劈平的竹子作为地板的房屋；这种房屋的地板损坏后，踩一边则另一边翘起，踩另一边则这一边翘起。女孩因误跟而来，只能留下。同住一段时间后，女孩说："我们这么穷，你说有很多牛，不如卖掉一些吧。"男人说"好，牛多如平原般广阔"。到了平原，女孩指着一头牛问，男人说那是别人的；再指另一头，还是别人的。男人其实一头牛也没有。因此，女孩因未能理解男人的话，错嫁给了这个贫穷的男人。故事结束。
