Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was an eagle that ate children. There were two mountains, Ningmung and Ninghkyeng, in Hktang Ga, Putao. Shawa Hpung Kungmawn led the migrated people and arrived at the Shang Hka River. They competed in a test of strength. There is a rock that he placed still exists there. They were competing to test their strength there. Shawa Hpung Kungmawn could lift the rock successfully and placed there. He won and was about to continue the journey with his people. Meanwhile, there was an eagle that ate children from Pan Hka village. It usually swooped down, grabbed them, ate them, and flew back to the Nungmung Ninghkyen Mountains. Shawa Hpung Kungmawn had the crossbow called "Ndan Shakut Gang Seng". He was searching for the eagle, but he couldn't see it. There was a mountain called Jahkawng to the east of the Ningmung Ninghkyeng Mountains. When he watched the eagle from there, he saw it covering itself among the large leaves called Nam Hkala, which have a bitter taste. The roots of those vines were at the confluence of the Mali Hka River. Then he cleared the vines and pulled them out by the roots. After the vines withered, he could clearly see the eagle. He shot the eagle down with his crossbow. It fell in the plain area called Htawng Yang. We can still see the place where the bow was lifted on the Jahkawng Mountain. There is a sign of Hkala vines at the confluence of the Shang Hka River and the Mali Hka River. This is what our ancestors told us, and I'm telling it to you briefly. This is not complete; the beginning and the ending of this story are missing. Transcription (La Ring) Moi shawng de ma sha galang ngu ai nga ai da.
