Description:Translation (Htoi Awng) One pleasant morning, a porcupine went to find food for his babies and wife. On his way, he met a rabbit. The porcupine was humble too. The rabbit asked him, "Where are you going slowly?" The porcupine greeted, "How are you, my friend?" The rabbit replied to him, "I'm fine. By the way, where are you going?" He said, "I'm on my way to find food for my wife and children." When the rabbit heard his answer, he laughed at him. He said, "You are so slow. How come you could find food for your wife and children? While you are finding food, your family will be dead since they are starving." The rabbit continued, "It would be good if you could run as fast as me. You are really slow. You are not like others." He looked down on the porcupine and said like that. Then, the porcupine said, "My friend, you really look down on me. I have my ability which GOD blessed me. I could find food." He thought to himself, "That rabbit is really proud of himself and looks down on the others. I should teach him a lesson." Then, the porcupine said to the rabbit, "Let's race!" The rabbit said, "Such a slow animal like you wants to compete with me, huh?" He jeered at the porcupine. The porcupine said to have a race because he didn't want to be looked down on. Then, the rabbit said, "Okay. Let's compete." At that time, the porcupine said, "Wait for me there. I will go back to my house for a moment." And they made a promise to give 5000 to the winner. After that, the porcupine went back home. When he got home, he said to his wife, "My wife, change your clothes and follow me." His wife asked, "What happened?" He said, "Just come." Actually, there were two different runways to have a race. The rabbit ran from this way, and he was on the other way. The porcupine said to his wife, "You just wait on my runway. When the rabbit arrives here, just say 'I reached first. I'm already here.' Okay?" And he left his wife at finished line. Then, he went back to the rabbit and said, "Let's start now." The rabbit asked him, "Are you ready?" He said, "Yes." They counted 1,2,3 and started the race. The rabbit could hop and run very quickly. He was very fast. But the porcupine couldn't and he was slow. So, he just went slowly. After walking for a while, he quickly hid in a bush. At that time, the rabbit reached the designated place first. As soon as he arrived there, the wife of porcupine said, "My friend, I'm already here!" Then, the rabbit couldn't believe it. He thought, "It's impossible. There is no way such a slow animal like porcupine reaches here before me!" So, he quickly went back to the starting point. When he reached there, he heard the porcupine saying, "I'm already here!" He was so surprised and couldn't believe it. Then, he said to the porcupine, "Let's race again!" When the rabbit reached the finished line, the female porcupine said, "I'm here!" Wherever he arrived, he heard the porcupine saying, "I am here!" He ran back and forth for 65 times. In the end, he was exhausted and died. The rabbit couldn't differentiate between the female and male porcupines since they looked alike. The porcupine just wanted to teach the rabbit a lesson because he was too proud. In the end, the porcupine won the race.
