Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
This story is about why an eagle eats chicks. A long time ago, birds didn't eat each other. They didn't attack each other and lived friendly. An eagle happened to love a hen that the human raised. The hen had white colour feathers, so the eagle loved her so much. The eagle said, "I love you so much." He visited the hen every day. Meanwhile, a rooster also loved that hen. He also loved her so much. One day, the eagle brought a ring and gave it to the hen. He said, "This is my present for you. Wear it on your wing. You are mine now." The hen decided to love the eagle, so she wore the ring on her wing. At that moment, the rooster said, "How could you fall in love with the eagle that flies in the sky? Why can't you see me? The ring he gave you is not gold! It's not valuable at all. Just throw it away. Look at me. Love me back. Forget the eagle." Then the hen was confused and embarrassed. She thought, "How could he give me this kind of ring? It's not even gold." She just threw it away. She loved the rooster back. When the eagle was back, he asked the hen, "Where is the ring I give you?" She replied, "It's not gold, so I threw it away." He told her, "Okay, give it back to me. If you don't want it, give it back to me." She said, "I don't remember where the ring is." The eagle was angry and said, "If you can't find the ring, I will eat your children. I won't love you too. Find it until you have found it and give it back to me. If not, I will eat your children." The hens are always scratching at the soil. In fact, they are looking for the ring. The eagles have also eaten the chicken since then.
