Title Sharaw dinggai hte la angawk a lam (The granny tiger and the fool) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
A long time ago, there lived a granny tiger near a lake. As she was so old, she couldn't go out and chase the prey. One day, when she was lying near the lake with an empty stomach, she saw a man came near the lake by riding a cart. It was pulled by the cows. The man was a bit dull. When the cart was passing by, the granny tiger yelled, "Young man, please come near granny. Please fetch the drinking water for me. I couldn't move anymore since I am so old now. I couldn't go and bring water. If you get me the water, I will give you this golden bracelet. Come and take this!" The granny tiger showed the bracelet and tried to catch the young man's attention. The dull man thought it was true. So, he decided to cross the lake, fetch the water for the granny tiger, take her bracelet and go back home. Therefore, he swam to the granny's place and also fetched the water for her. The man walked to near the granny tiger. When he offered the water, the granny tiger bit his head and ate him.
