Transcription: Traditional story about Suumphaai and Raangleen by Shangchrek Tholung at Thamlapokpi

Transcription of a retelling of Suumphaai le Raangleen paomin (the Story of Suumphaai and Raangleen), as narrated by Shangchrek Tholung. Ranglen's wife hates his sister Sumphai, and orders him to sell her. Sumphai asks that she sell him to be a slave in a rich village. Ranglen ends up selling her in exchange for a single shaft of a rice plant. Later, Ranglen invites his sister to a feast, and she invites him to eat from what she has grown. Anticipating that his sister will not come, he instructs messengers to tell her he has died. On her way to the anticipated funeral, she is surprised to hear the sound of the Living Drum being played (rather than the Death Drum). She surmises that Ranglen has deceived her, and leaves in a huff. The origins of "Sumphai's goat" (a kind of goat) and "Sumphai's wine" (water that has accumulated in the cleft of a tree) are connected to the final episode of this tale.

Transcription of a retelling of Sumphaai le Raangleen paomin (the Story of Sumphaai and Raangleen), as narrated by Beshot Khullar. The orphan Ranglen's wife Sangkakuk hates his sister Sumphai. She falsely claims Sumphai is lazy while she herself is hardworking, and demands that Ranglen choose between them. One day he takes his sister to Shonrang to sell her to a rich man, who tests her to see how honest she is. When she passes his test, he decides she must have been sold due to someone hating her (rather than to her being careless), and marries her. One day Ranglen visits her. Then he invites her to visit him, but on the pretense that he has died. As she approaches his village, the type of drumming she hears tells her that Ranglen is alive.
