Title Gandau yang mare na bum a lam (The mountains of Gandau Yang) with English translation
Description Translation (Htoi San)
I want to tell you about an incident which happened in Gandau Yang village, and we can see that until now. There are two mountains in Gandau village. One is Talent mountain, and another is Rock mountain. A long time ago, there was a leader on each mountain, leading the people in each village. Talent mountain leader and Rock mountain leader did the necklaces, and they cursed at each other. The Talent mountain leader swore to the Rock mountain, "Never ever on this mountain and this soil, all crops, vegetables, and plants cannot bear fruits or bloom flowers, and you can not eat them." Due to that curse, even though people plant the paddy plants and grow, there is no seed or rice on that mountain until today. Even though they planted vegetables, the quality was not good. Until today, we can see about these two mountains. I want to tell you about what we saw before and until today.
