KK1-0835 - Mali hka hte Nmai hka (The Mali river and the Nmai river) with English translation

Translation (Gun Mai) The Mali river and the Nmai river. Once upon a time, the Mali river and Nmai river had a relationship and lived together. They lived together and then, they travelled to the lowland. When they were travelling, one night, they both were sleeping. At that time, one friend said that "Hey friend, please wake me up if you wake up earlier than me. If I wake up earlier than you, I will also wake you up". The friend said "Yes" and they slept. But, while the Nmai river was still sleeping at night, the Mali river flowed silently. The Mali river kept flowing silently. When the Nmai river woke up and looked for his friend Mali river, the Mali river had already flowed ahead. So, the Nmai river said to himself that "Oh no, I have to run to reach my friend Mali river". Then, he rapidly and roughly flowed through the mountains, which was a shortcut way to be able to reach the Mali river. Since he flowed roughly to be able to reach the Mali river, until today, the Mali river flows gently but the Nmai river flows roughly with big waves over mountains and big stones because he chased the Mali river. Since then, it was like they separated. Transcription (Lu Awng) Mali hka hte nmai hka, moi shawng e da mali hka hte nmai hka shan 2 gaw rau sha ganawn wa ai re da.

### 传说（Gun Mai）
马里河（Mali river）与恩迈河（Nmai river）的古老传说。往昔，马里河与恩迈河曾相依相伴，携手奔赴低地平原。旅途中的某个深夜，二者同眠休憩。彼时其中一河对友人郑重言道：「挚友若你先醒，请务必唤我；若我先醒，亦会将你唤醒。」友人颔首应允，二者再度入眠。然当夜色仍浓，恩迈河尚在酣睡时，马里河已悄然启程，一路静静奔流。待到恩迈河苏醒寻友时，马里河早已奔至前方。恩迈河见状自语：「糟糕，我必须全力追赶友人。」遂以迅猛粗犷之势穿山越岭，抄近道奔赴马里河。正因当初为追赶马里河而急流奔涌，时至今日，马里河依旧舒缓平缓，而恩迈河则始终裹挟巨浪、湍急粗犷地穿行于群山与巨石之间——只因它当年一路追赶马里河。自此，二河便再未相聚。
