KK1-0601 - Pasawk la hte Nga chyang (The climbing perch and the snakehead fish) with English translation

Translation (Htoi Awng) Long time ago, a climbing perch and a snakehead fish were in love. The climbing perch is very beautiful. People say that the climbing perch is very beautiful, but it doesn't have any faeces in its belly. The climbing perch thought that she was the most beautiful fish. And everyone liked her. When the other fish told her that they loved her, she said, "If you could catch the insects like ants to feed me, I will love you back." Other fish often told her, "Please be my love." But the climbing perch thought herself that she was very beautiful, so she didn't love anyone back. Then, the snakehead fish and the grass lizard talked to each other, they said, "The one who got the love of the climbing perch can live not only in the water but also on the land. Okay?" They agreed that the one who got the love of the climbing perch could live both in water and on land. The grass lizard really wanted to get the climbing perch's love, but he couldn't go into the water. He caught some crickets from the land and fed the climbing perch. But the climbing perch did not love him because he could not live in the water. The snakehead fish also loved the climbing perch so much. She was white and the most beautiful. Other fish showed their love to her and always said, "Let's be lovers." But she was so proud. She said, "No. I will date only the one who could find insects from the land and could live with me all day and night." Then the other fish said, "Okay then. We will find the fish which could live on land and in water for you. We will find your destiny." They went to the snakehead fish and said, "You can live in the mud and also in the water. Can you love the climbing perch?" The snakehead fish was proud of himself too. And he said, "I can't! I can't love the one whom you all love." After that, he went into the mud. But they continued, "Our climbing perch is very beautiful and very proud of herself too. She said she couldn't love us. She could only love the one who could live both in water and on the land, and the one who could find insects for her. Since you could do all those things, you will get her love definitely. You are the perfect partner for her." The snakehead fish was the proud one too and kept denying to be the partner of the climbing perch. But the other fish came to him everyday and always told him to do that. Then, he agreed to say love to the climbing perch. He went to her and said, "I love you. I will find food from the land for you too." She said, "I have already had a grass lizard who finds food for me." When he heard that, he was very angry and said, "Then, I will compete with the grass lizard. We will have a meeting." He went to the grass lizard and said to him, "We need to meet one day." Then, the grass lizard came to meet the snakehead fish. The snakehead fish quickly jumped onto the land. They had a meeting on the land. The snakehead fish asked the grass lizard, "Is it true that the climbing perch is in love with you?" The grass lizard answered, "It's true that I find food for her, but she said that she couldn't love me because I couldn't live in water with her all day and night. And she ate all the food I found for her." After hearing that, the snakehead fish knew that the climbing perch was very proud. So, he decided that he would do to get love from her. Since that day, he jumped on the land and pretended like the dead. When the ants came to eat and attached onto his body, he quickly dove into the water. And he jumped onto the land and pretended like the dead again. He didn't breathe a bit. The ants thought him as a dead and came to eat him. When the ants affixed on his body, he went into the water again. In that way, he found food for the climbing perch again and again. Then, he and the climbing perch became lovers. The climbing perch which was very proud since she was beautiful. She didn't love any fish back whom loved her so much. But, the snakehead fish got the love of her and could remove the proud mindset of her. And he could love her so much too.

很久很久以前，攀鲈（Climbing Perch）与鳢鱼（Snakehead Fish）相恋。攀鲈容貌绝美，众人皆称其姿色无双，更有传言称其腹中无粪便。攀鲈自认是世间最美丽的鱼类，人人都对她倾慕不已。每当其他鱼儿向她表白，她便说道："若你能捕捉蚂蚁这类昆虫喂养我，我便应允与你相恋。"常有鱼儿向她示爱，恳请结为伴侣，但攀鲈自持美貌，从未回应过任何人的情意。

后来，鳢鱼与草蜥（Grass Lizard）私下商议："能赢得攀鲈芳心者，既能在水中生存，亦可在陆地存活，如何？"二人一拍即合，约定唯有兼具水陆两栖之能者，方能获得攀鲈的青睐。草蜥满心渴望得到攀鲈的爱意，却无法入水。他便从陆地上捕捉蟋蟀（Crickets），投喂给攀鲈。可攀鲈并未爱上他，只因他无法在水中日夜相伴。

鳢鱼同样深爱着攀鲈。她肤白貌美，堪称最美的鱼儿。其他鱼儿纷纷向她示爱，总说"愿与你结为恋人"，可她生性高傲，答道："不行。我只会与能从陆地寻来昆虫、且能日夜伴我左右的人相恋。"其他鱼儿便说："那我们便为你寻觅能水陆两栖的鱼儿，帮你找到命中注定的伴侣。"他们找到鳢鱼，问道："你既能在淤泥中生存，又能在水中存活，可愿意爱慕攀鲈？"鳢鱼同样高傲自负，答道："我才不要！我绝不会爱上你们都倾心的人。"说罢，便潜入淤泥之中。

但其他鱼儿仍不放弃，说道："我们的攀鲈美艳绝伦，自身也极为骄傲。她说不会爱上我们，只会爱上既能水陆两栖、又能为她寻觅昆虫的人。你样样都能做到，定能赢得她的芳心，你就是她最完美的伴侣。"鳢鱼本就高傲，依旧拒绝成为攀鲈的伴侣。可其他鱼儿每日都来劝说，最终他答应去向攀鲈表白。他来到攀鲈面前说道："我爱你，我也会为你从陆地上寻找食物。"攀鲈却说："已经有一只草蜥在为我寻觅食物了。"鳢鱼闻言大怒，说道："那我便与他较量一番，我们定要做个了断。"他找到草蜥说道："我们得择日一见高下。"草蜥如约前来赴约，鳢鱼迅速跳上陆地，二人在陆地展开对峙。鳢鱼质问草蜥："攀鲈当真与你相恋了？"草蜥答道："我确实为她寻觅食物，但她说过，只因我无法日夜在水中伴她左右，便不会爱上我，而且她早已吃完了我为她找来的所有食物。"

鳢鱼听罢，知晓攀鲈确实高傲无比，于是他下定决心，定要赢得她的爱意。从那日起，他便跳上陆地，佯装死去。当蚂蚁（Ants）前来啃食、爬上他的身体时，他便迅速潜入水中。之后他再次跳上陆地，佯装死去，连呼吸都不敢有分毫动静。蚂蚁们以为他死了，便纷纷爬上他的身体啃食，此时他再一次潜入水中。如此往复，他一次次为攀鲈寻觅到了食物。最终，他与攀鲈结为了伴侣。向来因美貌而高傲的攀鲈，从未回应过任何倾心于她的鱼儿，可鳢鱼不仅赢得了她的芳心，更褪去了她的高傲心性，二人从此相爱至深。
