KK1-1512 - Nat hte ga sadi la (The promise of the spirit) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a boy. One day, while he was in the forest, he encountered a nat spirit. The nat spirit was female. She deceived him and took him to her place. At night, she fed dinner to the boy. She served worms for dinner. The boy couldn't eat worms. Then she offered him a cup of water. In the water, there was a needle. The boy couldn't see the needle and drank it. Later, he found out she was actually a nat spirit. So he ran away from her. She threatened him, "Don't tell anyone about me! Don't you dare tell anyone that I am a nat spirit!" He promised that he would keep a secret. And he went back home. Later, he got married and had some children. When his children grew older, he told them about the nat spirit he had encountered in the past. The nat spirit warned him not to tell anyone about her. While he was telling his children about it, the needle got stuck in his throat, and he died. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng ye da la kasha langai nga ai da.
