Title Mawp lu mawp sha ai chahkyawn (Cunning wolf) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
The story is about a cheated wolf. Once upon a time, there were a lion and a tiger. When they went out to find food, they found a cow. They were peeking to kill and eat the cow. But they couldn't kill it. And while they were considering how to kill the cow, a wolf came to them. "Lion and tiger, what are you thinking about?" the wolf asked. "Wolf, we are considering how to kill this cow. Please, give us an idea!" the lion and tiger replied. "Ok! But you have to follow what I say," the wolf said. "If what you instruct us and we could kill and eat the cow, we will follow," they replied. Then the wolf said, "Lion, you scare the cow with your roar. After that, tiger, you chase the cow from the back and bite his neck. Then you would eat it." So, the lion went to the front of the cow and scared him with his voice. While the cow was afraid and shaking, the tiger jumped him and bit his neck. Then the cow couldn't move anymore and died. After the lion and tiger killed the cow, the wolf came to them. "Lion, you scared the cow from the front. So, you take the front part of the cow. Tiger, you jumped him from the back. So, you take the bottom part of him," the wolf said and distributed. And the wolf ate the body part. "Although I tried so hard, the wolf only gave me the head part of the cow," the lion cried. "We worked hard together. But he just shared me a little," the tiger said. Both of them were so unhappy. Since they were not clever, they were overcame by others. Therefore, if we are not educated, others will weaken us.
