KK1-1473 - Grai Shakawng Ai Palam La (The Vine Butterfly) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a caterpillar that later became a beautiful butterfly in a village. She wanted to show off how beautiful she was. When she saw a bear, she said, "Your fur is all black." Later, she saw the fox and said, "You have dull color fur." Later, the rabbit said to the butterfly, "Don't be so proud of your color. It's important to have beautiful colors. What is important is to be intelligent." The butterfly said, "Whatever. I am the most beautiful one here." And she went back to her habitat. In the evening, she flew around to show off her beauty again. But there was a sudden rain. It was a heavy rain, and she got completely wet. She couldn't fly and fell onto the ground. At last, she died. Transcription (La Ring) Moi shawng e da dai nam kahtawng langai kaw she da sumbra kaw na palam la byin jang she palam la dai na nsam gaw grai tsawm ai da.
