Title Hkanghkyi a tsaw ra myit (The love of a lion) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
Once upon a time, there was a lion. At first, he was so wild. And he lived in a deep forest. One day, he saw a girl from a village who came to the forest to pick vegetables. She was so attractive. So, the lion fell in love at first sight. Then, he went and asked for the girl from her parents. The girl's father said, "My daughter will be so scared to live with you together." "I will not do anything, but I will make her happy," the lion replied. The parents were afraid to be attacked if they didn't give him their daughter. If they permitted the lion to take the girl, it will end their daughter's life. Finally, they pretended to agree. But they requested the lion, "You have to cut all your claws and canines. Only then our daughter will not be scared of you." The lion also fulfilled their requests just because he loved the girl. He cut all his canines and claws as they told. Then the villagers gathered and hit the lion. The poor lion died there. This is the end.
