KK1-1090 - Yu shayu yan nu a lam (The blind bamboo rat) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about bamboo rat mother and son. Once upon a time, there was a female bamboo rat in a forest. That female bamboo rat had got a son later. Unfortunately, her son was blind since he was born. The mother bamboo rat really took care and loved him so much as he was blind. She felt pity for him. Then one day, the baby bamboo rat really wanted to praise his mother so much. He wanted to praise her. But he was blind, so he couldn't afford to do so. However, one day he told his mother, "Mom, I can see well now." His mother was so shocked and surprised as soon as she heard that. She was so happy. She thought to herself, "My son can really see?" She was not sure about that. So she tested her son. Then, she put two or three pieces of agarwood in front of her son and asked him, "My lovely son, what is that?" Her son said, "Mom, that is a stone." Then, the mother bamboo rat said, "My son, you are not only blind, you couldn't get any smell too." She thought to herself that her son was not only blind but also he couldn't get smell too. She was so sad. So she decided to take care of her son more than before. And they two lived happily in the forest. Transcription (Lu Hkawng) Yu shayu yan nu a lam da, Moi shawng de da yu shayu yi langai mi nga ai da.
