Description:Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, There was an old lady. She had sheep and cows. As she was getting older, she did not have the strength to keep these animals. She also could not be able to talk around. So she was looking for a person to take care of her animals. When she went out to search, she found a pig. When she saw a pig, a pig also saw her. "Hey Granny, Where are you going?" asked the pig. "E, I need a person to look after my sheep and cows." "So, I am looking for that person." answered the old lady. "If it is for your sheep and cows, I can do it." "I will look after them; I will do it." replied the pig. "Can you make sounds to call them back home?" "Yes. I can." said the pig. "Then make a sound." The pig made a dog sound, and the old lady said, "E, your voice cannot make it." "My cows and sheep will not come back." "If you call them like this." "I just look for another." said the old lady and continued walking to search. As she was walking, She found a rabbit. The rabbit asked, "Hey Grandma, where are you going?" "I am looking for a person who can keep my sheep and cows," answered the old woman. The rabbit said, "E Grandma, I want to take care of them." "I will do it." "If that's so, you don't know how to call my sheeps and cows to come back home." The rabbit answered straight, "I know, I know." So the old lady asked the rabbit to try. "Ok then, make a sound for calling my sheep and cows to come home." Then, the rabbit made a sound. The lady said, "Your voice did not make it." And she continued, "If you make a sound like this, they will surely run away." "Alright, I will keep on looking for others." As she was continuing her journey, she met with a horse. When she met the horse, That horse asked her, "Where are you going, Grandma?" The granny replied as like to the others, "I am looking for a person who can take care of my sheep and cows." The horse responded, "I will do it." "I can make sounds, ah, I can talk." "Then, make sounds." replied grandma. So the horse produced sounds. It was like the sound of a horse. "You also cannot do it. You cannot make sounds like that." "They will not come back. They won't know how to come back," explained grandma. So, at last, She met a fox, while she kept seeking, That fox was very wicked. She met with a very greedy fox. The fox planned, "Grandma, your sheeps and cows, I can tend them." "I know the method of how to call both of them back." "I also believe that I know how to keep them." "Grandma, you are also getting old so you cannot keep them well. I will take the responsibility and I will tend to them." answered the fox. That fox was very evil. Then the old lady agreed with the fox. "Ok, If so." and let him take care of her animals. Like the fox had a chance to look after the old lady's animals, a cow was lost every day. Because the fox ate them. Sheep also lost. The animals were getting less and less day by day. The old lady questioned, "E, how are my cows and sheeps lesser?" "Hey Fox, how do you keep them?" asked the grandma. At that time, "When I looked after them, the ogres from the forest ate them." answered the fox. The old lady suspected him and she came to see this fox the next day. She planned to peep the fox. "I will also give milk to him." Then she brought the milk too. She put the milk in a bottle and went to the fox. When she reached the fox, she saw that he ransacked and ate a cow. The old lady shouted angrily as she saw the scene. "You are the one making my cows get lost." "You are eating them." "Today, I can see you." yelled grandma very loudly. So the fox ran away. While the fox was running away, the old lady threw the milk bottle at the fox forcefully. Thus the milk was spread on its tail. That's why the fox's tail turns white from black.
