Title Shu, yu, galang a lam (The frog and the mouse) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
This is about a mouse, a frog and an eagle. Once upon a time, there were a mouse and a frog in a forest. One day, the mouse and the frog were fighting on the plain. They two were arguing on "who should the king of the animas be in this world?" They two kept arguing on that. They were fighting fiercely. They were kicking, attacking and beating each other up. Their fight was intense. At that moment, the eagle flying high in the sky saw them. Then the eagle thought, "Today, those two will be my meal." It swooped down on the mouse and the frog. Then it caught and killed them with its talons. It ate them right away. Since then, the fight of the mouse and the frog was over.
