Title Sharaw hte jahkyi a lam (The tiger and the barking deer) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
All the animals once could communicate with each other. A tiger and a barking deer made a promise that the winner could eat another one. "What are you going to do?" the barking deer said. "There is a trunk in a valley. The one can break it will be able to eat another one," the tiger replied. Firstly, the tiger walked on the trunk. Since the tiger had paws, it didn't make a sound when it walked on the trunk. However, the barking deer had hooves. So, the noise came out when it walked on the trunk. The barking deer said, "See! It's breaking." Then, the tiger gave up eating the barking deer. "Enough! Enough! I will never eat you," the tiger replied. Before, the tiger thought that it would win the barking deer.
