Description:Translation (Seng Pan) The title of this story is "A Liar". Once upon a time, there was a man who was good at telling lies. One day, the man asked a tiger to go hunting. They went to a forest to hunt. Soon, the man could shoot a boar. The man planned to lie to the tiger. So, he looked for a branch from a thorn tree to carry back the boar. He tied the boar on it. He also removed all the thorns on the part that he had to put on his shoulders. But he didn't remove the thorns on the part that the tiger had to carry. Since the man was ready to carry back the boar to home, he said, "My friend, tiger. Let's carry it back home! But my friend, when you are carrying this boar, don't say Akali (a sudden cry of pain). If not, the meat will taste bitter." However, after a moment of carrying the boar, the tiger expressed Akalo. After it, the tiger cried Akali. "My friend, tiger. Don't cry Akalo! The meat will taste sour," the man said. Since the thorns pricked the tiger, it cried "Akali" again. "My friend. Don't say that! Our meat will taste bitter," the man said the tiger. So, the tiger stayed quiet and went back home by carrying the boar. When they arrived home, the man said, "Tiger. We don't have water in the bottle to slaughter the boar. Go and fetch the water with this bamboo water bottle!" The man made a hole at the bottom of the water bottle and let the tiger fetch the water. Since there was a hole at the bottom of the water bottle, the tiger couldn't fetch the water, and it had to try till night time. At home, the man cooked the tastiest parts of the boar like heart and ate all alone. He also had all meat. However, the tiger still fetched the water because the bottle wasn't full. The tiger slept there a night in order to fill the bottle with water. In the morning, the tiger felt so depressed since it couldn't fill the bottle with water. At that time, a rat ran through the bamboo water bottle. The tiger was so shocked and figured out that there was a hole at the bottom of the bottle. Therefore, the tiger fixed it. After that, it filled the water in the bottle again and brought it back home. At home, the man had finished all the meat. But he cooked half of the bitter root and a half of Sani fruit (It's a species of acrid fruit in shape resembling the brinjal, and it tastes sour). "My friend, Tiger. Eat this meat!" the man said. Since the tiger was tired and starving, it ate the meat. "My friend. It's so sour," the tiger said. The part that the tiger tasted was Sani fruit. "My friend. It's a slice of biting meat," the tiger cried. "I told you not to say Akale when you carried this meat," the man replied. When the tiger took out another piece of meat from the pot, it chewed the bitter root. "My friend. It's so bitter," the tiger said. "You shouldn't say Akalo. It makes the meat taste bitter," the man replied. However, the tiger ate all till it felt full. One day, the man planned to kill the tiger. "My friend, Tiger. Today's weather is not so good. It seems it will be raining and the storm will also come. Let's escape from here," the man said. "I don't know where to hide, my friend," the tiger replied. Then the man called the tiger and went to the shifting field. "Let's stay inside the hay!" the man said. He and the tiger hid inside the hay. Soon, the man went out of hay quietly. When the tiger was still inside it, the cruel man set fire to the hay. Since it was getting hot, the tiger broke the hay and ran out of it. "My friend. My body gets burn. How should I do? It's so painful," the tiger cried. "Tiger, I think you should pound the chillies and rub them on your body," the man replied. As the tiger was in pain and couldn't think of the facts probably, it rubbed the chilli paste on its body. Because of the man, the tigers have red and black stripes on the body till today.
