Translation (Seng Pan)
Now I will tell you about a wolf who was good at cheating. Once upon a time, a fruit from the tree fell off while a hen and her chicks were rummaging the food around a tree. And it hit a chick's head. The chick got shocked and yelled, "Mom, it seems the sky is falling. A piece of it fell on my head." "Really, dear! If it's falling, we shouldn't stay here. We have to run," the hen said. The hen and chicks escaped from the place. On the way, they met with the father rooster. "Why are you running?" the rooster asked. "The sky is falling. Even a piece of it hit our baby's head. Let's run quickly," the hen replied. So, the rooster also ran together with hen and chicks. When they arrived at a far place, they met with a duck and ducklings. Then the duck asked, "Why all the haste?" "The sky is collapsing. Even a part of it hurt my chick. Let's move from this place!" the hen said. Then the ducks also joined with them and escaped together. When they reached a forest, they met with a group of peafowls. "Why are you running?" the peafowls asked. "The sky is falling on us. Therefore, we are running," the hen answered. "Then we will also go with you," the peafowls replied and went with them. At a place, they met with a wolf. "Where are you rushing to?" the wolf questioned. "Wolf, you shouldn't stay here anymore. The sky is collapsing. Even some pieces of it hit my chick," the hen answered. "Oh!! You don't need to be afraid. Don't be so scared. If you all go into my burrow, you will be safe. Don't worry. Just go into my burrow. I will help you," the wolf said. The hen and her fellows also trusted him since the wolf dug a hole and lived there. Therefore, they all went into the burrow. The wolf let them go into it with the motive to eat. He was so happy that he didn't need to find food at other places because he could eat the hen and her fellows one by one. And he waited at the entrance of his burrow. He said, "Hey, friends, I am guarding you. Don't worry!" The wolf ate them one by one, and he had finished all at last. It is the end of the story. Every one of us should not take action when we get shocked. We also should not threaten others. When something terrible happens, we should analyze it first. We have to find out the origin of the problems. Only after that we should act. In the story, the birds thought that the sky was collapsing and a broken piece of it hit the chick's head. It was a detached fruit from the tree indeed. They didn't analyze what exactly dropped on the chick's head. And they all ran without understanding the root of the case. In that case, you could be killed if you meet with unkind persons. Therefore, you should always examine the facts before every new action of yours.
