KK1-1156 - U Hka Hte Hka U A Lam (The Crow and the Water Bird) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Many years ago, the egret and the crow were best friends. They were together and maintained their friendship. One day, they decided to compete against each other over who could have more babies. The crow was the one who said to compete against each other. It thought, "I can eat more than the egret. I eat everything. I believe I can have more babies than her." The egret agreed to compete. They decided to compete over who could have the babies more. When the time was close for them to give birth, the crow told the egret, "I will build my nest on the tree. You build your nest on the ground." The crow could eat food from the tree, on the ground and in the water, while the egret could eat only fish in the water. The egret had to suffer a lot. The crow was a bit arrogant because it could fly and could find food easily in the sky or on the ground. It was wicked too. It told the egret, "Let's see who will give birth to more babies! Let's see who will have a bigger family more and more." When it was time for them to lay eggs, the crow said, "I will build my nest on the tree. You build your nest on the ground." Then the egret laid its eggs on the ground. The egret built its nest on the ground and the crow built its nest on the tree. And they laid their eggs in their nests. Unexpectedly, the crow couldn't lay lots of eggs. But the egret had lots of eggs. The crow was jealous because the egret laid more eggs than her. So it stole some of the egret's eggs and put them in its nest. And it brooded the eggs until they hatched. The crow had more babies than the egret. Then the egret felt suspicious of the crow. It thought, "How could the crow have more babies than I do? I laid eggs a lot more than she did, but she has more babies. Maybe she stole my eggs. Something is suspicious." It felt suspicious and accused the crow. The crow denied the fact that it stole the egret's eggs. Finally, the crow said, "We need someone to decide our matter. We can't just keep arguing." The crow had lots of acquaintances, so it was arrogant. It told the egret, "We must not keep arguing. We need some judges to decide our matter. You can call your relatives or acquaintances. I will call mine. Let them decide." The crow invited its relatives to decide their problem. It invited lots of birds that could fly in the sky. Meanwhile, the egret didn't have any relatives or acquaintances. It didn't have anyone to invite, so it was helpless. At last, the egret invited the owl to be the judge from its side. It explained, "The crow stole my eggs and hatched them. We are having a problem with her eggs and mine. To decide our problem fairly, we need judges. So, please be my judge." The egret invited the owl. On that day, there were many birds from the crow's side. The birds were talking a lot about the issue. They favored the crow and said that it was right. At that time, the owl didn't say a word and just sat there. When it sat, its head was down. Then the egret said to the owl, "My brother, I trust you and invited you to be the judge for me. Why are you just sitting down there without saying a word?" The owl replied to it, "The black colour bird will give birth to black babies. The white will have the white." Then every bird looked at the baby birds of the crow. Most of the babies were white. There were only four black baby crows. There were many white baby birds, so the birds that the crow invited said, "Right. The black will have only black babies. The white bird will give birth to white baby birds." In the end, the egret could get all of her babies back from the crow. The owl was wise. It didn't say much. It just said reasonable facts wisely. It could solve the problem in a wise way. Therefore, the egret could get her babies back thanks to the owl. Transcription (La Ring) Moi shawng de da hka u hte ndai u hka hte hka u shan gaw manang rai na nga ma ai da.

### 译述版中文翻译
岁月悠悠，白鹭（Egret）与乌鸦（Crow）曾是莫逆之交，彼此相伴，情谊笃厚。一日，二人决意比拼谁能繁育更多后代——发起这场比试的正是乌鸦。乌鸦暗自思忖：“我比白鹭更能觅食，万物皆可入口，我定能比她生下更多幼崽。”白鹭应允了比试，二人约定以子嗣多寡论胜负。

临至繁育之期，乌鸦对白鹭言道：“我将在树上筑巢，你便在地面筑巢吧。”乌鸦可于树上、地面乃至水中觅食，而白鹭仅能捕食水中游鱼，白鹭为此受尽苦楚。乌鸦仗着能翱翔天际，可轻易于空中、地面寻得食物，不免有些傲慢，且心怀歹意，又对白鹭挑衅道：“且看谁能诞下更多幼崽，看谁的家族愈发兴旺！”

待到产卵之时，乌鸦再次故技重施：“我在树上筑巢，你仍在地面筑巢。”于是白鹭将卵产在了地面的巢穴中，乌鸦则将巢筑于树上，各自在巢内产卵。未曾想，乌鸦竟无法产下多少卵，反倒是白鹭产下了大量鸟蛋。乌鸦见白鹭的蛋更多，心生嫉妒，便偷了白鹭的部分鸟蛋放进自己的巢中，亲自孵化直至幼鸟破壳。如此一来，乌鸦的幼崽反倒比白鹭更多。

白鹭见状心生疑窦：“为何乌鸦的幼崽比我还多？我明明产下了更多鸟蛋，她的幼崽却更多，莫不是她偷了我的蛋？此事颇为蹊跷。”白鹭心生疑虑，遂向乌鸦质问，乌鸦却矢口否认偷蛋之事。最终乌鸦说道：“我们需要有人来裁决此事，不能再这般争执下去了。”乌鸦人脉颇广，愈发傲慢，便对白鹭道：“我们不能再争执了，需请几位判官来决断我们的纠纷。你可召集你的亲友，我去召集我的，让他们来评断。”

乌鸦邀请了自己的亲友前来裁决，其中不乏诸多能翱翔天际的鸟类。反观白鹭，并无亲友可邀，束手无策。最终，白鹭请来猫头鹰（Owl）担任自己一方的判官，对其言道：“乌鸦偷了我的鸟蛋并加以孵化，我们因彼此的鸟蛋产生了纠纷。为公平裁决此事，还请您担任我的判官。”

比试当日，乌鸦一方的鸟类悉数到场，众人七嘴八舌，皆偏袒乌鸦，声称其并无过错。彼时猫头鹰一言不发，只是静坐，低垂着头。白鹭见状便对猫头鹰说道：“猫头鹰兄，我信任您，邀您为我裁决，为何您只是静坐不语？”猫头鹰答道：“黑羽之鸟诞下黑羽幼崽，白羽之鸟则诞下白羽幼崽。”众鸟闻言，皆看向乌鸦的幼崽——其中绝大多数皆为白羽，仅有四只黑羽幼鸦。乌鸦请来的鸟类见状便道：“所言极是，黑羽之鸟只能产下黑羽幼崽，白羽之鸟方能诞下白羽幼鸟。”

最终，白鹭从乌鸦处讨回了所有幼崽。猫头鹰聪慧睿智，并未多言，仅以明晰的事实做出了睿智的裁决，以巧妙的方式解决了纠纷。白鹭得以找回幼崽，全赖猫头鹰之力。

（注：景颇语转录文本对应上述故事，以下为其直译中文版本）
很久以前，白鹭和乌鸦是最好的朋友。她们相伴左右，维系着彼此的友谊。有一天，她们决定互相竞争，看谁能有更多的孩子。是乌鸦提出要互相竞争的。它心想：“我比白鹭能吃，我什么都吃。我相信我能比她生更多的孩子。”白鹭同意了竞争。她们决定竞争谁能有更多的孩子。当她们快要生孩子的时候，乌鸦对白鹭说：“我要在树上筑巢，你在地上筑巢吧。”乌鸦可以在树上、地上和水里吃东西，而白鹭只能在水里吃鱼。白鹭受了很多苦。乌鸦有点傲慢，因为它会飞，可以很容易地在天上或地上找到食物。它也很坏。它对白鹭说：“看看谁能生更多的孩子！看看谁的家庭会越来越大。”当它们该产卵的时候，乌鸦又说：“我要在树上筑巢，你在地上筑巢。”于是白鹭把蛋产在了地上。白鹭在地上筑巢，乌鸦在树上筑巢。它们在各自的巢里产卵。没想到，乌鸦不能产很多卵。但白鹭有很多卵。乌鸦很嫉妒，因为白鹭产的卵比它多。所以它偷了一些白鹭的蛋，放进自己的巢里。它孵蛋直到幼鸟孵化。乌鸦的孩子比白鹭多。然后白鹭开始怀疑乌鸦。它想：“乌鸦怎么能比我有更多的孩子呢？我产的卵比她多得多，但她的孩子更多。也许她偷了我的蛋。有些事很可疑。”它感到可疑，就指责乌鸦。乌鸦否认偷了白鹭的蛋。最后，乌鸦说：“我们需要有人来决定我们的事。我们不能一直争吵下去。”乌鸦有很多熟人，所以它很傲慢。它对白鹭说：“我们不能再争吵了。我们需要一些法官来决定我们的事。你可以叫你的亲戚或熟人。我会叫我的。让他们来决定。”乌鸦邀请了它的亲戚来解决它们的问题。它邀请了很多能在天上飞的鸟。与此同时，白鹭没有任何亲戚或熟人。它没有人可以邀请，所以很无助。最后，白鹭邀请猫头鹰作为自己一方的法官。它解释说：“乌鸦偷了我的蛋并孵化了它们。我们在她的蛋和我的蛋之间有问题。为了公平地决定我们的问题，我们需要法官。所以，请做我的法官吧。”白鹭邀请了猫头鹰。那天，乌鸦那边有很多鸟。鸟儿们对这个问题议论纷纷。它们偏袒乌鸦，说它是对的。那时，猫头鹰一句话也没说，只是坐在那里。它坐着的时候，头低着。然后白鹭对猫头鹰说：“我的兄弟，我信任你，邀请你做我的法官。你为什么只是坐在那里不说话？”猫头鹰回答说：“黑颜色的鸟会生出黑色的幼鸟，白色的鸟会生出白色的幼鸟。”然后所有的鸟都看着乌鸦的幼鸟。大多数幼鸟都是白色的。只有四只黑色的小乌鸦。有很多白色的幼鸟，所以乌鸦邀请的鸟说：“对。黑色的鸟只能生黑色的幼鸟，白色的鸟会生白色的幼鸟。”最后，白鹭可以从乌鸦那里拿回她所有的孩子。猫头鹰很聪明。它没说多少话。它只是明智地说出了合理的事实。它可以用明智的方式解决问题。因此，白鹭能够拿回她的孩子，多亏了猫头鹰。
