KK1-1672 - Brang Li hte lagut (Brang Li and robbers) with English translation

English translation (by Rita Seng Mai) Long long ago, there was a boy called Brang Li who lived in a village. He was very poor. He had a cousin sister. His sister got married and the couple lived together with Brang Li in the same house. His sister sold vegetables in the market and they made some money. But he was still very poor. And he went to the forest to gather some firewood everyday. One day, he saw a big pit on the way. There was a big rock on that big pit and he was so wondering. Then, he went to move that big rock because he was curious about that. He was surprised that there was lots of gold under the rock. He put those pieces of gold into the cane basket and took them to his home. He dug some holes and buried some gold under the ground when he got home. And he also kept some with him. And then, he usually borrowed a pair of scales from his sister. His sister doubted him why he borrowed that pair of scales all the time. Then, his sister applied some butter on the edge of the scales' plates. When Brang Li gave them back after he had done weighing, she saw some small pieces of gold on them. She went to ask him where and how he got those pieces of gold. Then, her brother answered. He answered that I got them from that pit in the forest. His sister got jealous and she wanted to be rich too. Then, she said to her husband. "My brother said he got lots of gold from that pit in the forest. You go get some too", she said to her husband. Then, her husband went there alone. He looked at the gold with greedy eyes when he saw those. At that time, a group of robbers and thieves came there and they saw that the cover of the gold was opening. Then, they caught the person who was stealing their gold and their leader ordered them to kill him. Brang Li's brother-in-law was killed by the robbers. But his sister didn't know that her husband was dead and she kept waiting for him. One day, she went to the river to carry some drinking water, then she saw her husband's corpse floating in the river. She saw lots of stabbed wounds on her husband's body. Then, she held a funeral for her husband. And the robbers heard that there was a funeral in the village and they thought it would be the funeral of the one they killed. They also thought there might be one more person who stole their gold and they went around the village to get more information about that. While the robbers were going around the village to know more, they learnt that it was a house that belonged to Brang Li. They deduced that he would be the other one who stole their gold. Then, they left a mark in front of Brang Li's house. The robbers went back after they had marked. They planned to kill Brang Li at night. At that moment, a woman who worked as a cleaner at Brang Li's house saw that mark while she was doing the cleaning. She thought that there were no marks on the other houses but only on this house, so it wouldn't be usual. That's why she left marks on each and every houses in the village. The robbers told to their leader that they made a mark in front of that house. Then, their leader told them if that is not true, he would kill both of them. At night, they came to find the house where they left a mark and planned to kill Brang Li. But they were shocked that there were signs on every houses. Then their leader killed both of the robbers and they kept finding the house of Brang Li. After some time, they got to know where Brang Li lived. Then, the leader of the robbers went to Brang Li's house as a guest at night. When their leader entered the house, one of his fellows went to the kitchen to hide inside the big glazed jar. While he was hiding, the woman servant entered the kitchen. She was going to prepare a meal to treat the guest. Then, one of the robbers inside the big glazed jar asked "Is it the right time to kill him?" Then, the servant knew it was a robber and answered, "No, it's not the right time yet. Just wait there." Then she went to buy some gasoline to light some fire. She simmered and boiled some water and poured them into that big glazed jar. The robber inside the jar died because of the heat. In the morning, their leader came into the kitchen and saw that his pal was dead. So he was scared and ran away from there. "There was a robber who came to kill you last night. But I killed them," said the servant to her master, Brang Li. "You're wiser and cleverer than me. I'll give you half of my properties. Take them," said Brang Li. He also gave half of his land to her for saving his life. Later, they two lived together happily.

本数据集为景颇族民间故事，由丽塔·森·迈（Rita Seng Mai）完成英文译版，具体内容如下：
很久很久以前，村寨里住着一个名叫布朗李（Brang Li）的贫苦少年。他有一位表姐，表姐婚后便与丈夫一同搬来和他同住。表姐靠在集市售卖蔬菜贴补家用，一家人总算有了些许进项，可布朗李依旧家境贫寒。他每日都会前往山林捡拾柴禾。一日，他在途中发现一处深坑，坑口盖着一块巨石，心中顿生好奇。因难耐探索欲，他上前挪开巨石，竟惊见巨石之下堆满了黄金。他将金块装入竹篮带回家中，一部分埋入地下藏好，另一部分随身带着。此后，他时常向表姐借用天平。表姐见他频繁借秤，心生疑窦，便在天平托盘边缘涂抹了黄油。布朗李用完归还天平后，表姐发现托盘上沾着细小的金屑，遂追问他金块的来历。布朗李如实相告，称自己是从山林深坑中所得。表姐心生嫉妒，也想一夜暴富，便对丈夫说道："我弟弟说他在山林的深坑中找到了大量黄金，你也去取一些来。"丈夫听罢独自前往山林。他见到黄金后，眼中满是贪婪。恰在此时，一伙劫匪赶到，见藏金的坑口被人掀开，当即抓住了正在盗取黄金的布朗李的姐夫，劫匪首领下令将其处死。布朗李的姐夫就此殒命，可他的姐姐对此一无所知，依旧在家等候丈夫归来。一日，她前往河边取水，竟见丈夫的尸体漂浮在河面，身上布满刀伤。她为丈夫举办了葬礼。劫匪们听闻村寨里办了葬礼，误以为是被他们处死的盗金者的葬礼，又疑心还有另一人盗取了他们的黄金，便在村寨中四处打探消息。劫匪们查到布朗李的住处，断定他就是另一名盗金者，于是在他家门口留下了标记，随后返回营地，计划夜间前来刺杀布朗李。此时，布朗李家的清洁女工打扫时发现了这个标记，她留意到其他房屋都没有标记，唯有布朗李家有，觉得事有蹊跷，便在村寨里所有房屋的门口都留下了相同的标记。劫匪们向首领复命，称已在目标房屋门口做好标记。首领怒斥二人，若所言不实，便将他们处死。入夜后，劫匪们循着标记寻找目标，却震惊地发现家家户户门口都有标记。首领怒杀了两名劫匪，继续追查布朗李的下落。不久后，他们终于找到了布朗李的居所。当晚，劫匪首领伪装成宾客前往布朗李家。首领进屋后，一名同伙躲进了厨房的大瓷罐中。就在他躲藏之际，女佣走进厨房准备为宾客备餐。躲在瓷罐里的劫匪出声问道："现在可以动手杀他了吗？"女佣立刻识破了他的身份，答道："还不是时候，在此等候。"随后她外出购买了汽油，又烧了沸水，将滚烫的水灌入瓷罐中，罐内的劫匪被活活烫死。次日清晨，首领来到厨房，发现同伙已死，吓得仓皇逃离。女佣对布朗李说道："昨夜有劫匪前来刺杀你，我已将他们除掉。"布朗李说道："你比我聪慧机敏，我愿将一半家产赠予你。"他还将一半土地送给了救命恩人。此后，二人相伴相依，过上了幸福的生活。
