Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The title of the story is 'The walk of a mother crab'. Once upon a time, there was a mother crab that had many zoeas. Later, when the zoeas grew bigger, they started to develop legs. Then, the mother crab taught them how to walk. She said to them, "Walk the way I walk." The baby crabs followed her every step she took. After teaching them how to walk for a while, she checked to see if they could really walk. But she saw that they were walking sideways. She said to them, "Walk straight. Why are you guys walking sideways?" They replied, "We are only walking as the way you walk." She said, "You are not walking straight. Walk straight!" Then they said, "Mom, you walk again. Show us." They watched how their mother walked, but she was also walking sideways. They said, "Mom, you are walking sideways. You said we walk sideways, but you do too." Then she checked her body and walked again. She found out that she was walking sideways at that time. She thought to herself, "Oh, they walk sideways because I walk like that. How foolish I was to scold them for no reason." Therefore, parents have the responsibility to teach their children good things, not to set a bad example. When children behave badly or speak rudely, we often say, 'It's like the walk of the mother crab.' Transcription (La Ring) Ga baw gaw jahkan Kanu a lam hkawm nga re.
