KK1-0441 - Shingkri u a lam (The black drongo bird) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about a black drongo. I will tell the story which my parents used to tell when I was young. While a black drongo was pecking a crow when a crow flew back and forth, I saw that thing and asked my parents, "Why is the black drongo pecking the crow?" They said, "In the past, the crow which was taking care of the black drongo's babies didn't come back to the black drongo. So, the black drongo asked for his babies. That's why he is pecking the crow."
