KK1-0432 - Yu hte nyau shagan hti shingjawng (A cat and a mouse in a star-counting race) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there were a cat and a mouse. One day, they decided to compete one thing. They said to each other, "Let's compete in counting stars! The one who loses in a competition will be eaten by the other." When it was dark, the mouse started counting the stars. The more he counted, the more stars there were. He couldn't count the stars anymore. When it was going to be morning, the cat counted the stars. At dawn, there were not many stars in the sky. So, the cat could count them. Then, the cat won the competition. So, the cat ate the mouse till now. Transcription (Lu Hkawng) Moi shawng e da, Yu hte Nyau nga ai da.
