Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell you now is about a Jinghpaw boy who turned into a monkey. Once upon a time, there was a widow and her son. The son was whiny and fussy, and the mother couldn't get any work done because of him. One day, they went to the banana field. The mother felt pity for her son and asked him, "Do you want to eat bananas?" He asked her, "Mom, did you already peel it?" She scolded him, "How could you be so lazy? I asked if you wanted to eat it, but you asked me whether I had peeled it!" But she peeled it for him and fed him. Next time, they were cooking rice together. While the mother was stirring the rice with a rice paddle, her son snatched it and ate the rice. She said, "What a voracious boy you are! It's not like you have never eaten rice! Why are you so voracious?" Then she flicked her son's head with the paddle. He snatched the paddle and wedged it between his buttocks. Then he went into the forest from that day on. He gradually became a monkey. Because he was voracious, the mother hit him on the head. He became a monkey. That is why the monkey has legs and hands like a human. It also has a face resembling a human's. Sometimes, when we see monkeys in the field, they are not afraid of us.
