Ung Kung ih Thuanthu (Malaysian Zatlang Thuanthu)



Ung Kung ih Thuanthu

(Malaysian Zatlang Thuanthu)

Vei khat lai ahhin putar pakhat a rak um. Putar cu a kum a upa zet. Mi tthenkhat cun kum thawng khat a kim zo an ti! Cumi putar cu a fim zet ih thuhla tampi a thei. Bomnak dil ding in tipithuanthum kap ih a umnak lung puk ah mi tampi an feh ttheu.

Ni khat cu putar fim tong ding in tlangval pakhat a feh ve. Tlangval cun, "Ka pu mifim, minung pawl hrangih mi ttangkai si ka duh. Ka nun sung hmuah in minung pawl hrangih hna ttuan ka duh. Cumi cu ziangtin ka tuah thei ding?" tiah a sut.

Putar cun, "Thil ttha zet a si. Himi dawi bur hi la aw. Asinan inn na thlen hlan ahcun ong hrimhrim hlah. Na ong a si ahcun na par ah thil pakhatkhat a thleng ding," a ti.

Tlangval cun, "Ka lungawi, ka pu mifim," a ti hnu ah dawi bur cu a la ih a fehsuak. Asinan lung puk lenglam a va thlen vete'n a ding ih, "Dawi bur sung ahhin ziang a um pei ti ka va thei hiar ve, ka vun zoh hnik pei," a ti.

Dawi bur a vun on vete'n tlangval cu thingkung sangpi ah a cang cih – ung kung ah a cang a si cu! Putar mifim ih thu a thlun lo ruangih a tuar mi dantatnak a si. Asinan khatlam ahcun a saduhthah cu a ngah thotho – ziangahtile ung kung cu minung pawl hrangah a ttangkai zet mi a si ve.
