Translation (Htoi San)
The story is about a dog and a goat. A long time ago, a baby goat was delivered with a small horn in a village. That kid was so proud when his horn spread out. He was so shy because of his horn, so he struck at one place again and again. When his horn came out longer, he was so proud. He saw a turkey for the first animal and challenged him as he was very self-satisfied with his horns. He said, "I have horns which came out, so I want to hit like this and like this. Let's lock together." The turkey responded, "I am sorry. I don't have horns and don't dare to lock with you. I don't dare to compete with you." So the goat passed the turkey and continued his walk. He met with a pig and said to him, "Hey pig, I have horns, so shall we lock each other?" The pig replied, "I don't have horns, so I cannot lock, and I don't dare to do that." Then he saw the third animal, and it was an old sheep. He talked to the old sheep, "Do you want to lock horns with me?" "I am getting old, and I don't take the risk for that," the old sheep denied. So the young goat looked down on the old sheep and said, "You are such a chicken." Then he passed him and met a dog. "Hey dog, do you want to lock my horns?" he asked the dog. The dog accepted, "Yes. Sure." When the goat locked his horns on the dog in many ways, the dog bit the goat's neck. "I told you to lock horns like this, and why did you bite me?" the goat questioned. The dog replied, "I don't have horns, so I don't want to lock. But I have teeth, so I want to bite. When I don't know who to bite, you told me to lock, and I know biting like this." Then the dog bit him painfully. From that day onwards, the goat repented for his manner.
