KK1-0987 - Woi gaw shinggyim masha kaw na byin tai mat wa ai lam (The origin of the monkey) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Now, I am going to talk about how monkeys were descended from humans. Once in a village, there was a family that had some playful, naughty children. They were so playful, even when their mother was cooking. Then the mother got angry and beat her children with the cooking paddle. Unfortunately, her children became monkeys because of her curse. That is why monkeys have similar physical appearances as humans. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ngai tsun na gaw woi gaw masha kaw na byin tai mat wa ai lam rai nga ai.

译述（丽塔·盛迈，Rita Seng Mai）：本次将讲述一则民间故事，内容为猴子的起源——猴子如何由人类演化而来。从前某村落中有一户人家，家中孩童生性顽皮淘气，即便母亲正在烹制食物时也依旧嬉戏打闹。母亲盛怒之下，便用做饭木铲抽打了孩子们。不料孩子们因母亲的诅咒化作了猴子，这便是猴子与人类身形外貌相近的缘由。
