Translation (Seng Pan)
A long time ago, there were a tiger and a frog. The frog said, "My brother, tiger, shall we hold a running contest?" The tiger replied, "Of course." So, they held a running competition. They had to run after counting three. The frog couldn't run. So, he just jumped. As he couldn't move to a far place like the tiger, he jumped and attached to the tiger's tail. At last, the frog arrived at the destination first. Because he jumped off from the tiger's tail and his body fell off in front of the tiger. Then the tiger said, "I thought I could run faster than you. You just jumped. How could you arrive here first?" The frog replied, "Although you are stronger and faster than me, you are useless now." Since the tiger's diet was meat, the tiger said, "This time, let's compete vomiting." The frog also agreed to start the contest. Since the tiger ate the animals and humans, he vomited up only the bones. And the frog threw out the tiger's fur as he had attached on the tiger's tail. When the tiger saw it, he was afraid of the frog and said, "How could you only vomit our fur?" The frog answered, "See! How strong I am. Although my body is small, I ate all the tigers." Since the tiger was scared of him, he spread about the frog to all the other animals. The tiger also went to the place where many groups of animals lived and told them how strong the frog was. The tiger said, "Be alert! A strong frog will come and eat all the animals in this forest. Even the kind of strong animals like us was eaten by him." The monkeys replied, "How could that frog eat us? It is not as big as our hand." However, the tiger told them that was not true. At that time, the frog jumped on the tiger from behind. As the tiger got startled, he tore the monkeys near him and the monkeys were dead. The tiger also ran away.
