KK1-1910 - Wunli daigawng hte katsen kaw shawng (Wunli Daigawng and Katsen Kaw Shawng) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The title of the story is Wunli Dai Gawng and Katsen Kaw Shawng. Once upon a time, there were two rich families in a village. They were good neighbours. They always treated each other well. One day, the two families were discussing, "We are good neighbours to each other. We always help and treat each other. Our bond must be stronger when it's our grandchildren's age. So, let's make a promise." They decided, "We will let our grandchildren marry." Many years later, a baby girl was born in one family. Her name was Katsen Kaw Shawng. And a baby boy was born in another rich family. His name was Wunli Dai Gawng. Katsen Kaw Shawng was talented in weaving and good at other things when she grew up. She was smart. But Wunli Dai Gawng grew up as a naive boy. There was nothing he was good at. As there was a promise their grandparents had made, their parents arranged a wedding for them. Kaw Shawng's parents didn't like Wunli Dai Gawng because he was stupid and didn't have any skills. So, they didn't want their daughter to marry him. They didn't let her stay at her husband's house. They made their daughter stay at their home. But Wunli Dai Gawng wanted to take his wife to his home. So, he worked at his in-law's house for two years. But there was no sign that his in-law would approve him to take their daughter. He had to go back to his house alone. At home, he considered a lot, "Why don't my parents-in-law let me bring my wife to my house?" He kept thinking and thinking. Then, the reality hit him. He knew that he was such a stupid man and there was nothing he was good at. So, he decided to learn some skills. Then, he asked for 1000 kyats from his parents. His parents didn't agree with him and said, "Don't go anywhere. You didn't even learn when you were young. But now, you are a grown-up man. How can you learn a new skill!?" But he insisted on learning new skills. He went out of his house. On his way, he met a group of people near the ravine. One man from the group said, "No matter how deep the water is, it's useless if there is no fish in it." He heard it and asked the others, "What are you talking about? Teach me, please." They said, "We are just talking, 'No matter how deep the water is, it's useless if there is no fish.' What should we teach you? We have no skill to teach you." Dai Gawng said, "Yes, teach me about that." When they had taught him, he was so grateful and gave three hundred kyats to them. And then, he continued his journey to learn skills. Then, he saw two men standing on each side of the river. A man from one side of the river shouted, "How can two people ride on this small bamboo to cross this river?" He heard them and asked, "What are you talking about? Teach me, please." They looked at him and said, "We didn't say anything. We are discussing how we can ride on this bamboo. We don't have anything to teach you." Dai Gawng said, "Exactly. I haven't heard before. Teach me, please." After learning, he was thankful and gave three hundred kyats to them. And he continued his journey. After walking for a while, he reached a village. He saw a group of people talking on the main road of the village. He heard a man saying, "Tomorrow, we will meet at the office or at the chief's house." So, he said, "My friends, what are you talking about? Teach me, please." They said, "We are not talking about anything special." Dai Gawng said, "Teach me that anyway." After learning, he was thankful and gave three hundred kyats to them again. Then, he went back to his village. When he got back home, he wore nice clothes and went to his wife's house. Kaw Shawng's parents saw him and whispered, "There! That stupid son-in-law comes here again. Since we didn't see him for two or three days, thought he wouldn't come again." While his in-laws were staying in their bedroom, he was sitting in silence in the living room. At that time, they were talking in low tones, "Look at him. What is he going to say this time!?" Kaw Shawng was sitting in the living room near him while she was reeling silk. At that moment, Dai Gawng broke the silence, "No matter how deep the water is, it will be useless if there is no fish." His in-laws heard him and whispered, "That stupid knows that kind of words! He wants to mean that if a person can't keep his promises, he or she won't be trustworthy although he or she is handsome or gorgeous." Then, Dai Gawng said, "Two men can't ride on only one bamboo." His parents-in-law said, "He means that one girl can't get married to two men." After a while, Dai Gawng said, "Let's meet at the office or the chief's house tomorrow." Then, he went into his room. His parents-in-law came out of their room and said to their daughter, "My daughter, go and live with your husband. We take you here for so long. If you don't go to your husband's house, we will end up going to the chief's house." The next morning, they gave some presents to her daughter and sent her to her husband's house. Since then, Wunli Dai Gawng and Katsen Kaw Shawng lived happily ever after. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ngai hkai na maumwi gabaw gaw wunli daigawng hte katsen kaw shawng a lam re na re.

本数据集包含一则景颇族民间故事的译版与景颇语原文转录内容：
一、英文译版（丽塔·森·迈 Rita Seng Mai 译）
故事标题为《温利·戴·高（Wunli Dai Gawng）与卡森·考·肖（Katsen Kaw Shawng）》。从前，村子里有两户富裕人家，二人是和睦的邻里，始终彼此以诚相待。一日，两家人商议道："我们互为好邻，向来互帮互助、和睦共处，待到孙辈成年时，情谊更应深厚。不如我们立下婚约吧。"于是二人约定："让我们的孙辈结为夫妻。"
多年后，一户人家诞下一名女婴，取名卡森·考·肖（Katsen Kaw Shawng）；另一户富裕人家则诞下一名男婴，取名温利·戴·高（Wunli Dai Gawng）。卡森·考·肖长大后擅长纺织，且在其他方面也表现出众，聪慧伶俐。而温利·戴·高自幼懵懂无知，一无所长。
因祖辈曾立下婚约，双方父母为二人安排了婚事。考·肖的父母嫌弃温利·戴·高愚笨无技，不愿让女儿嫁给他，便不让女儿前往丈夫家中，只让女儿留在娘家。温利·戴·高想将妻子接回自己家，于是在岳父岳母家中劳作了两年，但始终未见岳父母同意他带走妻子，只得独自返回家中。
回到家后，他反复思索："为何岳父母不让我接妻子回家？"他整日苦思冥想，终于认清现实：自己确实愚笨不堪，一无所长。于是他决心学习技艺，便向父母索要了1000缅元（kyats）。父母不同意，说道："别到处乱跑了，你小时候都没学会本事，如今已是成年人，怎么还能学新技能？"但他执意要学，便离开了家。
途中，他在沟壑附近遇见一群人，其中一人说道："水再深，若无鱼也毫无用处。"他听到后便上前询问："你们在说什么？请教教我。"众人答道："我们不过是闲聊"水再深，若无鱼也毫无用处"，我们没什么技艺可教你。"戴·高说道："正是，请教我这句话的内涵与应用。"众人教他后，他十分感激，赠予他们300缅元（kyats），随后继续踏上求学技艺的旅途。
之后，他看见两名男子站在河的两岸，其中一人喊道："两人共乘一根竹筏过河，怎么可能？"他听到后上前询问："你们在说什么？请教教我。"二人看了看他，说道："我们没说什么，只是在讨论如何乘竹筏过河，没什么可教你的。"戴·高说道："没错，我之前从未听过这句话，请教我。"学成后，他心怀感激，赠予他们300缅元（kyats），继续赶路。
又走了一会儿，他抵达一个村落，看见一群人在村中的主干道上交谈，听到一人说道："明日我们在办事处或是酋长家碰面。"于是他上前说道："各位朋友，你们在聊什么？请教教我。"众人答道："我们没聊什么特别的内容。"戴·高说道："无论如何，请教我。"学成后，他再次感激地赠予他们300缅元（kyats），随后返回自己的村子。
回到家后，他换上整洁的衣服，前往妻子的娘家。考·肖的父母看见他，低声议论："看，那个蠢女婿又来了。我们都两三年没见过他了，还以为他不会再来了。"岳父母在卧室里低声交谈："瞧瞧他，这次又想说什么？"考·肖正坐在客厅里，靠近丈夫的位置纺丝。这时，戴·高打破沉默，说道："水再深，若无鱼也毫无用处。"岳父母听到后，低声嘀咕："那个蠢货居然知道这种话！他是想说，一个人如果不守承诺，就算外表再光鲜亮丽，也不值得信任。"随后，戴·高又说道："两人不能共乘一根竹筏。"岳父母闻言说道："他的意思是，一个姑娘不能嫁给两个男人。"过了一会儿，戴·高说道："明日我们在办事处或是酋长家碰面。"说完便走进了房间。
岳父母从卧室出来，对女儿说道："女儿啊，去和你丈夫一起生活吧。我们留你在这儿这么久了，你要是不去丈夫家，我们就得去酋长家理论了。"次日清晨，他们为女儿准备了礼物，将她送往丈夫家中。从此，温利·戴·高与卡森·考·肖过上了幸福的生活。

从前有一则名为《温利·戴·高（Wunli Dai Gawng）与卡森·考·肖（Katsen Kaw Shawng）》的故事。曾几何时，村里有两户富足人家，他们是要好的邻居，平日里总以礼相待。一日，两户人家商量道："我们既是和睦邻里，时常互帮互助、以诚相待，等我们的孙辈长大成人，这份情谊应当更加深厚，不如我们定下婚约吧。"于是二人约定："让我们的孙辈结为夫妻。"
