Translation (Rita)
Once upon a time, there was a rabbit which lived in a burrow. The story I am going to tell is about 'a rabbit family'. The mother rabbit put her babies in the burrow. She said to her babies, "Don't go anywhere! Just stay here." But they wanted to go outside and visit around. The eldest rabbit said, "Let one be a leader among three of us. Let's choose one who can be a leader." The second rabbit said, "The eldest one will be a leader!" The youngest rabbit didn't agree with him. He said, "Our mom said not to go out. No one is leader. We are just brothers. So, let's just stay here by eating food mom finds for us." The eldest one deceived his two younger brothers and visited around that place secretly. He took his younger brothers too. They visited many places day by day. They reached a really far place. Then, they arrived at a cave where a tiger lived. When they reached there, the tiger talked sweetly to them. He said, "Little rabbits, come and play here. It's sunny outside. Come and take a rest here." The eldest rabbit said to his brothers, "I am your eldest brother. Listen to me! Let's go and play there." The youngest rabbit didn't agree with him. He wanted to go back home. The eldest rabbit said to the youngest one to go in. But the youngest one said, "Look! There are many footprints which show animals going in. But there is no footprint which show coming out! Let's not go in. It's too dangerous." But the eldest one said, "No! I will go there no matter what. Let's go." The youngest rabbit didn't want to go in, so they went back home. The two elder brothers went into the cave. As soon as they came into the cave, the tiger ate both of them. When the mother rabbit came back after finding some food at night, she saw only the youngest son. So, she asked him, "Where are your brothers?" He said, "This afternoon, we went outside and visited some places. There, we saw a tiger cave. The tiger called us to come in. I told them not to go there. But they didn't listen to me and went inside it. Only I went back home, mom." After hearing what her son said, she told him, "I told you all not to go far away, to stay here and play here. You didn't listen to what I said. Now, your brothers got eaten by a tiger because they didn't listen to me."
