KK1-1320 - Magrau grang ai la a lam (The brave man who killed a big snake) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell is about a brave man. Once upon a time, there was a plain somewhere near the stream. There were two villages on the plain. The villagers from each village supported and helped each other. The villages were built five or six years ago. One day, the animals they raised disappeared one after one. The villagers disappeared too. As time passed by, the amount of the villagers and animals disappearing from the villages was high. Then, people from the two villages suspected each other. There wasn't any support or help between the two villages. One day, a man from one village was looking after his cows and buffaloes. At that moment, he saw a huge snake. He was shocked and scared to see it. So, he left his herds and just went back home. And he told the villagers about the snake. But the villagers didn't believe him. So, they went there to see the snake. But they didn't see it. He told them, "Let's go and take my herds too." But he didn't see his herds too. They were so surprised. Many years later, people usually talked about this as a story. They said that the villagers disappeared one by one and didn't know a reason why. People didn't let their children go outside after hearing the story about the snake. They kept doing like this for almost ten years. The man who saw the snake told about that event as a story to his grandchildren. He told them, "There was a snake as huge as a house in my village. Lots of animals disappeared at that time." One of his adult grandsons asked him, "Grandpa, where is that snake? I will kill it." He said, "Don't say that, my grandson. The snake is as big as a house. You can't kill it." The grandson said, "No, we should kill that snake. If not, our village won't have better communication with the other village. People from each village will always have a grudge against each other in the future. So, we should kill it." Then, the grandpa prepared everything the grandson would need when he was going to kill the snake. The villagers also prepared swords such as a knife, a spear and wraps of rice for him. The spear was made of a fishtail palm's wood. The grandson took everything and went to the place where his grandpa saw the snake. He was searching for the snake the whole morning at the mountain, in the river, at the gully and everywhere. But he didn't see it at all. In the daytime, he ate his lunch and searched the snake again. But he couldn't find it. It was getting dark. So, he was going back home. On his way back home, he felt like he lost the way. At that moment, he stepped on something soft. He thought that would be cow manure. So, he touched it and smelled it. But it was not like the cow manure's smell. He got the smell of a live animal. Then, he immediately knew that he was in the snake's belly. So, he took the spear out and stabbed the snake with all of his strength. When he stabbed with the spear, the snake moved just a little bit and was opening and closing its mouth all the time. He kept stabbing the snake within his reach. When the snake opened its mouth a bit, he saw that a woman was stuck between its teeth. He remembered his grandfather told him that a woman who was finding food for pigs disappeared the previous day. He thought, "She might be the lady who went missing yesterday. I should try all my best to be able to escape from the snake's belly." He saw the woman was groaning and shaking because of fear. He told her, "Don't be afraid. We will try to be able to get out of the snake's belly." Then, he gently took her out of between the snake's teeth. The lady felt at ease after hearing what he said. But she was still frightened. Then, he kept stabbing the snake again. After stabbing for a long time, the snake got hurt and was rolling in pain. Since the snake was moving, they two were being rolled too. They were covered in blood. Finally, the snake was dead. Its mouth closed tight when it died. Then, they couldn't get outside through the snake's mouth. They were afraid that they couldn't breathe well inside the snake's belly. So, they stabbed it with the knife and the spear. Finally, they could get out from the snake's body through the abdomen. When they looked at the dead snake, it was really as huge as a house. It was so long that they couldn't see the tail of the snake. They went back to the village and talked about it to the villagers. The villagers went there and saw the giant snake. They killed the chickens, pigs and cows and threw a welcome party for the brave man. They held a ceremony for the lady too. And they said, "It would be your destiny. You two should get married." The villagers had a wedding for them. In the end, they two lived happily ever after. Transcription (Lu Awng) Ya ngai bai hkai na maumwi gaw magrau grang ai la langai mi a maumwi re.

本数据集包含一则民间故事的相关内容：
一、 译文（丽塔·森·迈（Rita Seng Mai））：此为该故事的英文译本，其中文译版如下：
我接下来要讲述的是一位勇者的传奇故事。从前，溪流之畔有一片广袤平原，平原之上坐落着两座村落，两村村民素来守望相助、亲如一家。这两座村落始建于五六年前。
一日，村民们饲养的牲畜接连失踪，随后村民们也相继离奇消失。随着时间推移，两村失踪的人口与牲畜数量与日俱增，两村村民互生猜忌，昔日的互助情谊荡然无存。
某日，其中一村的一名男子正在放牧牛群与水牛，忽然瞥见一条体型硕大的巨蛇，他惊骇欲绝，抛下畜群仓皇返家，并将此事告知同村村民，但村民们皆不信其所言。于是众人一同前往事发地查看，却并未见到巨蛇的踪迹。男子说道：“不如我们一同前去取回我的畜群吧。”可众人抵达后，连他的畜群也不见踪影，众人无不惊愕万分。
多年后，人们常将此事当作奇谈流传。他们说村民们接连失踪却始终不明缘由，自听闻巨蛇的故事后，村民们便不许孩童外出，如此这般过了近十年。
当年见过巨蛇的男子将此事讲给孙辈们听：“我村里曾有一条大如房屋的巨蛇，当时大量牲畜都离奇失踪了。”他的一名成年孙子问道：“爷爷，那条巨蛇在哪里？孙儿定要杀了它。”男子答道：“别这么说，孙儿。那巨蛇大如房屋，你根本杀不了它。”孙子却坚定地说：“不行，我们必须除掉那条巨蛇。否则，我们两村将无法恢复良好的沟通，未来两村村民也会始终心怀芥蒂、互不信任。所以我们一定要除掉它。”
于是祖父为孙子准备了屠龙所需的一应物品，村民们也为他筹备了刀剑，包括短刀、长矛，还有饭团作为干粮。那长矛是以鱼尾棕榈木精心制成的。孙子带着所有物品前往祖父遇见巨蛇的地方，他在山间、河流、沟壑各处搜寻了一整个上午，却连巨蛇的影子都未曾见到。白天他用过午餐后继续搜寻，依旧一无所获。天色渐晚，他准备返家。
返程途中，他感觉自己迷失了方向。这时，他踩到了某个柔软的东西，以为是牛粪，便伸手触摸并闻了闻，却并非牛粪的气味，而是活物的腥气。他立刻意识到自己身处巨蛇的腹中。于是他拔出长矛，用尽全身力气刺向巨蛇。长矛刺入后，巨蛇只是微微挪动，却始终张合着嘴巴。孙子在力所能及的范围内不断刺击，当巨蛇张开一点嘴巴时，他看到一名女子卡在它的齿间。他想起祖父曾说过，一名外出为猪觅食的女子在前一日失踪了，他心想：“她或许就是昨日失踪的那位女子。我必须尽一切努力从蛇腹中逃出去。”他看到女子因恐惧而呻吟、颤抖，便轻声安抚道：“别害怕，我们会设法从蛇腹中出去的。”随后他轻轻将女子从巨蛇的齿间救出。女子听了他的话后稍感安心，但仍惊魂未定。
孙子继续刺击巨蛇，刺了许久之后，巨蛇身负重伤，痛苦地翻滚起来。随着巨蛇的扭动，两人也被甩得东倒西歪，浑身沾满鲜血。最终，巨蛇彻底死亡，死后嘴巴紧紧闭合。两人无法从蛇嘴中脱困，又担心在蛇腹中无法顺畅呼吸，便用短刀和长矛再次刺击蛇腹，终于从蛇的腹部钻出。
二人望向巨蛇的尸体，它果然大如房屋，身长极长，根本看不到尾巴。他们返回村落，将此事告知村民，村民们前往查看后，果然见到了这条巨蛇。村民们宰杀了鸡、猪、牛，为勇者举办了盛大的欢迎宴，还为获救的女子举行了祈福仪式，并说道：“这是你们的缘分，二人应当结为夫妻。”村民们为他们举办了隆重的婚礼。最终，两人从此过上了幸福安稳的生活。
