Translation (Gun Mai) It is a proverb of the Jinghpaw in the past. It was what our ancestors told us when we were young. "Lau du lagaw, lau sha wan nhtaw (What quickly gets is the foot, what quickly eats is firebrand)" means that if you are going to travel and want to get there quickly, you have to walk quickly. And, if you are hungry and want to eat quickly, you have to use a lot of firebrands. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi na jinghpaw ni e ga malai re ai.
