Title Lanyau hte jahkyawn dangrang hkat ai lam (The cat and the wolf) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
The story is about a cat and a wolf. Once upon a time, there lived a cat and a wolf in a deep forest. They always met and had a talk. But they never fought like other animals. Even though they didn't hurt each other, they still argued. Since they accepted themselves as the skilful animals, they only tried to get the last word in the argument. One day when they had a chat, the wolf said, "There is no one in the world who is smarter than me. Even though we count others, there will be no one." When they were arguing on the fact that the wolf said, a group of female dogs ran to them by howling. They came to them with a loud noise. Then the cat immediately climbed a tree near him. In a short time, the group of dogs ran to the wolf, and he couldn't escape from them. In a moment, the group of dogs attacked him and bit into pieces. Since the cat saw all things which happened in the twinkling of an eye, he was so shocked and scared. And he said, "I should not be so proud of myself. Although we are educated, we should not be conceited. If we cannot think of ways to escape, we will be drawn into failure." Moreover, he was so sorry about what happened.
