Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
This is about a squirrel. There was a squirrel in a forest. She was so flurry and playful. There was also a boar in the forest. The squirrel always teased the boar and hid the things he used. The boar knew it was the squirrel that hid his things. When he was weaving, the squirrel hid his weaving materials. The boar was busy looking for his weaving materials. The squirrel knew it, but she pretended like she didn't know anything. And she asked the boar, "What are you searching?" The boar answered, "I am looking for my weaving materials." The squirrel said, "I know where they are. How much will you give me some money if I find them?" The boar said, "Okay. I will give you one kyat." The squirrel said, "Deal." Then she pretended she was looking for the weaving materials. She was happy with the thought, "If I do like this, everything is good for me. I get the money too." There was a bear in the forest. He was eating honey. While the bear was sleeping, the squirrel stole the honey and hid it somewhere. When the bear woke up, he was looking for his honey. But he couldn't find the honey. The squirrel asked the bear, "What are you looking for?" The bear answered, "I am looking for my honey." She said, "I will find it for you. How much will you give me?" The bear said, "I will give you as much as you want." The squirrel said, "Just give me one kyat." The bear said, "Okay." When the squirrel found the honey, the bear gave her one kyat. The squirrel was happy because she didn't need to worry about money. One day, a princess visited her country and happened to spend a night at the place where the squirrel lived. The princess stayed there for a night. The princess took off her jewelry before she slept. The squirrel saw the jewelry and hid them somewhere. She thought that she could find the jewelry for the princess, and the princess would reward her. Then she fell asleep soundly and couldn't even wake up early. Meanwhile, the princess woke up and noticed that her jewelry had gone missing. She shouted that her valuable pieces of jewelry were stolen. Her servants were urgently looking for them. The mushroom was growing in the hole where the squirrel hid the jewelry. It was shining because of the jewels. The jewels were around the mushroom, so everyone was surprised by it. The princess heard about it and claimed that those were her jewels. She decided to go get her jewelry back. At that moment, the bear said, "Don't go, my lady. There is someone who always steals and hides other people's things. Let's catch her. Let's catch." Everyone was waiting for the thief secretly. At that moment, the squirrel woke up and said, "Let me check the jewels that I had hidden last night. If I give those jewels back to the princess, I will get lots of rewards. Then I will be rich." She was happy with the thought. She was surprised to see the mushroom at that place. She said, "Thank God that no one sees the jewels I hide here. If they are stolen, I will be in trouble." Then she picked up those jewels. At that time, the bear showed up in front of her. He told the squirrel, "You are the thief! Those are the princess's jewels. You are a criminal." He taught her a lesson. Therefore, the squirrel didn't steal or hide anyone else's belongings. She just lived her life happily.
