Description:Translation (Seng Pan) The story I will tell you is about how the praying mantis got bulging eyes, the cricket got a long forehead, and why the eagle still makes the sound, "Ah Sha Lu Lu". A long time ago, there were only three houses of a praying mantis, a cricket and an eagle in a village. At their place, it was freezing during winter. The three animals couldn't predict whether it would be colder or better than the previous years. So, one day, they met up to discuss what they should prepare for the upcoming winter. The eagle said, "It would be so cold. What should we do, friends?" Fortunately, I have a hot stone to make myself warm at night." Therefore, the eagle never joined his friends, the praying mantis and the cricket going to collect the firewood in the forest. Since it's sunny during the daytime in winter, the stone got the sunlight, and it's hot. At night, it could keep the eagle warm. In the early dawn, the eagle felt cold since the stone's heat had already gone. Therefore, the eagles make a sound, "Ah Sha Lu Lu", till today. And this is how the praying mantis got bulging eyes, and the cricket got a long forehead. As the praying mantis and cricket couldn't ask the eagle to join in collecting firewood, only two of them went to the forest. The cricket carried a tree stump on his back. And she said, "My friend, praying mantis. Have you already collected firewood?" The praying mantis answered, "I'm not done yet. Please wait for me a moment!" After collecting some firewood, the praying mantis carried them and came back to her friend, cricket. When she saw the cricket carrying a tree stump that she could barely hold her balance, she couldn't control her laughter and laughed at her friend badly. Therefore, the praying mantis's eyes become bulge. On the other hand, since the cricket had to hold the tree stump and tried to balance, her forehead skin was peeled. So, the crickets have long foreheads till now. This is the end of the story.
