Title Latsa lang du tawk yang masha tai lu na sagu a lam (The sheep which got beheaded for 100 times) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
A long time ago, there was a sheep in a village. That sheep did something bad in its past life. So, it became a sheep in this life. The sheep could be a human again in the next life after it got beheaded for 100 times. So, it just lived like that, and just went around the village. And it had left only one time to get beheaded. Then it went to the place where people lived. It went to the village and said "Please kill me. Kill me!" But no one wanted to kill it. Later, there was a heavy rain while it was wandering around. It was running away from the heavy rain. At that time, a thunder hit on a big cave. A piece of stone from a cave was broken, and accidentally cut its neck. It was dead at last. This is the end of the story.
