Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
The story I will tell you is about no one is better than the first one. A long time ago, there was a man and a woman whom the parents wanted them to get married. But they didn't love each other. The woman told the man, "I will marry the man who is much better than you. I will get the one who is stronger and has the leading ability." And she thought to herself while looking up at the sun, "The sun is the most powerful since it can give light to everyone. I will marry the sun." She said to the sun, "The sun, you are the most powerful one. I want to marry you." The sun replied, "I can't do anything. I have no ability to do anything. When I prepare to light the world, the cloud covers me. The cloud is more powerful than me." Then she went to the cloud. She told the cloud, "I want to be your wife." The cloud said, "I don't have any abilities. When I try to float along, the mountain stops me. I can't even go past the mountain." Then she went to the mountain and said, "I want to get married with you." The mountain said, "I am not powerful as you think. When I thought I would be higher, the buffaloes destroy my base and I can't be higher." She thought the buffalo would be stronger, so she went to it. She told it, "I want to marry you." It said, "I am tied to the nose rope and ordered to do things for them. I am not strong at all." Then she went to the rope and said, "I want to marry you." The rope said, "The mouse bites me and destroys me. I can't do anything to protect myself." Then she went to the mouse and said, "I want to marry you." The mouse said, "I don't have any capabilities." In the end, the woman went back to the man and got married to him.
