Translation (Gun Mai)
Long long ago, animals thought that they had to unite and be friendly among them so a deer, a crow, an ant, a tortoise, and a wolf, they five discussed. They discussed in the meeting that if one was in trouble, the other one should come to help. If one was in a dangerous situation, the other one should come to save. Quite a while after their meeting, the wolf became dishonest a little bit. Thus, he said to his friends that "You all are the animal types who eat vegetables and I was wrong to have the meeting with you all because I am meat eater type. No matter what you have agreed in the meeting, I won't be able to follow the decision. I won't be able to make friends with you all. I will live separately." The wolf had a lot of dishonesty in his mind. So, he said to the deer that "Hey deer, as we are very hungry, there is a highland farm over there. Let's go there to steal and eat the rice and vegetable. Don't you want to go? Let's go, you will full quickly and return home quickly." The deer listened to what the wolf said. So, he went to the highland farm and ate rice and vegetables fully. Then, returned home. The wife of the highland farm owner noted about the deer's stealing and eating at night because of the deer's footprints and the way the rice was eaten. So, she returned home and told her husband. "Last night, the deer and animals entered our farm and eaten rice a lot. Thus, go and set a trap there," said the wife. So, the husband went to the farm and set a trap on the way that the deer and the wolf used to come. Because the wolf always had dishonesty, he called again the deer. "Hey deer, let's go to the farm and eat rice and the vegetables so we don't get tired and we can full quickly. Let's go there again," said the wolf and they went to the farm again. This time, the deer was caught in the trap that the farm owner set. Then, the deer said to the wolf that "Hey wolf, as we discussed and decided in the meeting, please save my life. I will also help you when you get in trouble. Please help me to get free." At that time, the wolf said that "Friend deer, today is my birthday so I cannot bite and cut anything today. I can't make damage anything. I can help you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I cannot help you today because it is my birthday. Try to stay here." And the wolf went into a bush and hid there. In his mind, "If the deer dies, I will be the one who can eat the deer. I will eat until I get full," thought the wolf. Even though the deer and the wolf left quite for a while, because they hadn't backed yet, the ant, the tortoise, and the crow got worried so they decided to look for them. When they followed, they saw that the deer was caught at the trap that set in the farm. "Help me," said the deer. So, they shared responsibilities among them. The ant bit to cut the string that tied the deer. The tortoise made cleared the round the trap. The crow went to the farm owner's house and monitored whether the farm owner came or not to the farm. If the farm owner came, the crow would come and tell the other friends. They all did their respective responsibilities. Only the wolf was sleeping in the bush as he was dishonest. When the crow was sitting near the house of the farm owner, the farm owner told his wife about his dream that "Dear wife, I dreamed last night that one man got drunk and slept in our farm's bush." "Because you set the trap, the deer might be caught in the trap if you dreamed so. Quickly go to the farm," said the wife. The farm owner also took his bag and scabbard and left home to go the farm hurriedly. When he just left home and crossed the bund, the crow flew down and pecked on the head of the farm owner. So, the farm owner turned back home and said to his wife that "Wife, when I just got the other side of the bund, a crow flew down to me and pecked on my head until bleeding. Even my hair was lost. What happened that?" "I think nothing else. May be because of the deer that you set the trap in the farm. Don't worry. Go to the farm," said the wife. The farm owner was pushed to go to the farm by the wife. The crow was also trying to deter the farm owner but could not deter anymore. So, the crow flew to the farm and said to the tortoise, the ant, and the deer. "I tried to stop the farm owner but could not stop anymore. Now, he is coming. What should we do now?" said the crow. The crow continued that "The ant has done biting to cut the trap string. The tortoise has cleared the environment. We all have shared the responsibilities. Now, the deer, you swell your belly until it gets the biggest size when the farm owner comes to you. I will be sitting on the tree and looking at you. As soon as the farm owner unfastens the trap strings, I will make a sound Ak Ak. At that time, you immediately ran away." The farm owner got to the farm and said to himself that "Oh... the deer is almost rotten and smell because the belly has already big." and he unfastened the trap string. As soon as he unfastened the string, the crow made song Ak Ak as he was looking at the deer from above so the deer immediately ran away. Then, the farm owner also threw with his spear because people just used spears in the past. He threw with the spear to the deer but it was missed the deer and it was accidentally hit on the wolf, their friend, who was sleeping in the bush and killed. The farm owner thought he hit the deer but it was missed the deer and was hit on the wolf when he went and saw. "OK, no problem. Even though I missed the deer and I will chop and eat the wolf," the farm owner said to himself and carried the wolf. He also picked up the tortoise and put it into his bag. And, he returned home. When the farm owner was returning, the deer appeared again in front of the farm owner on the way. The deer slowly walked as it seemed very close to the farm owner. Then, the farm owner said to himself that "I think the deer over there is the deer who just escaped from me today. It seems I can throw with my spear and kill the deer. I will follow and throw to kill." Then, he hung his bag that he put the tortoise on the tree. He also put the wolf there and ran and followed the deer. The deer ran away until very far and backed to the tree that the farm owner hung the bag. Then, he took down the bag with his antler and escaped the tortoise. They helped to escape each other. Then, the farm owner got angrier about the crow because he was also pecked and also made the Ak sound for the deer to be able to escape from the trap. When the farm owner returned home sadly, the crow was sitting in front of him on the way. So, the farm owner said that "I will try to kill this crow," and picked a stone to throw. When he was about to throw the stone, the ant bit on the foot of the farm owner. So, the farm owner got hurt and when he shouted 'Ahhh', the crow ran away before he was thrown. And so, they saved each other's life. They lived unitedly together. The wolf who was dishonest dead early.
