Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell you is about a tiger and an elephant. One day, the tiger and the elephant accidentally met somewhere in the forest. At that time, the tiger tried to eat the elephant. The elephant didn't know where to hide, so she tried to hide her body in a pond where frogs lived. She asked for help, "Frogs, help me. Help me, please." The frogs asked her, "Who chases you?" She said, "A tiger. The tiger is trying to eat me. So, save me." Then, the frog told the tiger, "I heard you are trying to catch the elephant. Then you have to compete with me first. If you win against me, you can eat the elephant. If not, you can't eat her." The frog told the tiger to compete. He said, "Jump this pond and the one who reaches the other side will be the winner." The frog was clever, so he thought to grab the tiger's tail. Then, he stepped on the tiger's tail and grabbed it tightly. When the tiger jumped over the pond, he could jump it easily. At that time, the frog on his tail jumped a step forward the tiger. And he told the tiger, "Let's go back now." He continued, "You jump over it first." When the tiger didn't notice, he held the tiger's tail tight. As soon as the tiger put his feet on the other side of the pond, the frog jumped off from the tail. He was always a step ahead the tiger. Since he held the tiger's tail, there was tiger fur in his mouth. He took the fur out with a steady expression and said, "This is your grands' fur that was left after I ate them. And this is your parents' fur. Now, I just need to eat you." He showed the fur and boasted about it. In fact, he was just acting. The tiger felt scared and ran away. He accidentally ran towards a troop of monkeys. At that time, the monkeys asked him, "Why are you running away? What's the matter?" The tiger answered shakingly, "The frogs threatened me that they would eat me." They doubted his answer and asked him, "Really?" He said, "Yes." They said, "Then, let's go see those frogs." The tiger still felt afraid and said, "You can climb the trees, but I can't. If we are in a dangerous situation, you are going to leave me and will run away." The monkeys said, "No, we won't leave you. Then, let's tie our bodies with vines." So, they tied their waists with vines and went to the frogs together. When they arrived there, the frogs shouted loudly at them. Then, the tiger told the monkeys, "See! They are trying to attack us." He was frightened and ran away. He forgot the fact that he was tied to the monkeys. Since he was the strongest among them, the monkeys were dragged when he ran away. Therefore, the monkeys have marks on their waist today.
