Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
The title is, "The one who listens to others will become a slave." Once upon a time, there was an elephant. He was arrogant. He always thought, "I wish I would be a king." He was arrogant and proud of himself. His head was filled with that thought. He couldn't think of other things and couldn't do anything. One day, a pack of wolves were in trouble because there was nothing to eat or drink for them. Then they had a meeting about how to deal with the case. The oldest wolf said that he would be able to solve the problem. He said, "I will go to the arrogant elephant." His friends worried about him and said, "He will just crash you! You shouldn't go to him." Then the old wolf said, "I know that he really wants to be the king. So he will listen to everyone at the moment. He can even be our slave if we just say sweet words to him. I will go to him." When he arrived there, the arrogant elephant said, "Such a small animal like you dares to come to me! Why did you come here?" Then the wolf said, "I am here to appoint you as our king." The elephant was pleased with the wolf's words and asked, "How is your plan?" The wolf said, "We need a leader for every group. There is a chief in every village. And there should be a king in every palace. You know very well that there are many people who follow a good king." The elephant totally believed the old wolf. However, the elephant hesitated and said, "I am afraid of you. You guys are carnivores." But the old wolf knew how to persuade him. In the end, the elephant agreed to go with the wolf. He saw that there were many wolves there. He thought, "Now I can rule them!" He was just proud of himself. The wolves told him, "You are our king, starting today. Don't you want to take some rest and drink some water?" The elephant said, "Of course, I would love to." He didn't know that the wolves had taken him to the mire. Then he stepped on it, and his body was sinking slowly. He couldn't move at all. Then he ordered them, "I am your king! You must take me out of this mire!" Suddenly, all the wolves pounced on him and attacked him fiercely. They ate him happily. In the end, the elephant was just a slave to the wolves instead of a king. Although we listen to others, we should have our own consciousness and intelligence.
