Title Sut gan marin na galang tai mat ai lam (The greedy man who became an eagle) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
A long time ago, there was an old grandma and her orphan grandson. One day, the orphan boy went hunting in the forest. At that moment, there was a heavy rain, so he had to find a shelter not to get wet. He stayed inside the hollow of a big tree trunk. There was a big centipede in the hollow where the boy was standing inside. The thunder god disliked the centipede, so he tried to strike the thunder at it. However, the thunder couldn't strike on it. The boy witnessed everything. He took out his gun and killed the centipede for the thunder god. The thunder god talked to the boy, "You kill the centipede that I hate so much. I will take you to my place to show my gratitude." The boy said, "I have the grandma." Then the thunder god escorted the grandmother to his place. However, the grandmother couldn't leave her chickens, cows and buffaloes. So she frequently went back home to check on her animals, although the thunder god stopped her from going back home. At last, the thunder god couldn't tolerate and let her go back home as an eagle. She became an eagle and watched the animals from the sky. This is the end of the story.
