KK1-0831 - Grai lagawn ai la a lam (Ladder to the moon) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story is about a lazy woman. Once in a village, there was a couple. The husband was intelligent and always said, "I want to go to the moon." He told his wife, "I will go to the moon." And he built a ladder that could reach the moon. He told his wife, "Water the place where this ladder is set." His wife watered that every morning. Then, it grew very well. He climbed up to the moon with that ladder. He almost reached the moon. One morning, the wife was lazy and poured the rice water onto the ladder instead of water. Then, the ladder was broken, and her husband fell from the sky. He was dead. Transcription (La Ring) E grai lagawn ai la a lam. Moi shawng de da madu wa hte madu jan nga ai da.
