KK1-1783 - Kawa hpe n ra ai ma ni (A man who tried to abandon his father) with English translation

Translation (Htoi Awng) Once upon a time, there were a grandfather, his son and his grandson in a village. The grandpa couldn't work anymore because he got old. Then, his son didn't like him. One day, he thought, "This old man is such a waste of space in our house. It will be my sin if I kill him. So, I will put him in a basket and abandon him." Then, he weaved a basket. His young son didn't know anything and asked him, "Dad, why are you weaving a basket?" He explained, "Because I am going to abandon your grandfather somewhere in the forest. He couldn't work anymore. He is just a waste of space." The son said, "Dad, don't throw that basket after you have abandoned grandpa. Take it back." The father said, "Why? We can throw it away after abandoning your grandpa." Then, his son said, "No, you should take it back. Because I will need it to abandon you when you become older and couldn't work." That's why parents should behave well and teach only good things to children. Children always imitate and emulate what their parents do.

翻译（Htoi Awng）：从前，某村庄住着一位祖父、他的儿子与孙子。祖父因年事已高无法劳作，儿子便对他心生厌恶。一日，儿子暗自思忖：“这老人在家中纯属多余，杀他会罪孽深重，不如将他装入篮中丢弃。”于是他编了一只篮子。年幼的儿子不解，问道：“爸爸，你为何编篮子？”父亲解释道：“要把你祖父丢到森林深处，他无法劳作，只是占地方罢了。”儿子说：“爸爸，丢弃祖父后别扔篮子，带回来。”父亲问：“为何？丢了就行。”儿子答道：“不行，得带回——等你老了无法劳作时，我要用它丢你。”此故事意在说明，父母应以身作则，仅向孩子传授善举；孩子总会模仿与效仿父母的言行。

转录（Lu Awng）：（景颇语原文转录对应的中文释义）曾有一户人家，家中有祖父、父亲与儿子三人。祖父年迈体弱，无法再劳作，儿子因此对他十分不满，甚至想：“这老人在家中碍手碍脚，杀他是罪过，不如将他装入篮中丢弃。”父亲正为祖父编篮时，年幼的儿子上前询问：“爸爸，你在编什么？”父亲答道：“我要把你祖父丢到森林里，他不能干活，占地方，所以编篮丢弃他。”儿子说：“爸爸，丢完祖父后把篮子带回来，我以后要用它。”父亲问：“为何？丢了祖父篮子就没用了。”儿子答：“等你老了不能干活时，我要用这篮子丢你。”因此，父母的言行至关重要，孩子会效仿父母的所作所为。
