Translation (Htoi San)
I am telling a story about a human and a dog. A long time ago, humans and animals could communicate with each other. At that time, humans could see how the spirits and satan walked around. The human could see the spirits and satan in any view, so they were scared of them. The humans were shocked and did not dare go out anywhere. When they looked outside, the East, the West, the North, and the South, they saw the evils and satan in spirit form. The humans were so frightened and shakingly scared of the spirits as they could see them. The people could not work properly due to their fear. The people were scared and scared, fearful and fearful, so they could not do their job well. They were so afraid of seeing the spirits that they could not work. They saw the evils and all kinds of spirits. The human could see Satan with their bare eyes. They faced difficulties doing their chores as they were so afraid. They were scared while they were sleeping and eating. The humans' eyes were so sharp and could see all the spirits. At that time, dogs stayed together with humans, and they asked people, "Why are you scared that much? Can you show us what you are afraid of?" The dogs could not see the spirits and satan then, so they just followed the people. The dogs asked, "Why are you scared that much?" The people answered, "We can see the evils well." "Take these! We will give these to you." The human took out the eyes that could see the evil spirits and gave them all to the dogs. They threw and gave them to dogs; therefore, there was a black mark pasted on the tail root at the buttock. From that moment onwards, humans could not see the evil spirits again. They could not detect any spirits. On the other side, the dogs could see the spirits, so they barked day and night. They had eyes that could see evil spirits like humans could see before. Thus they could see everything as they were given. Dogs barked and barked when they saw evil spirits. Nevertheless, humans could not see evil spirits anymore. The dogs took human eyes, which could see the spirits. Dogs and human beings were the two relatives. Therefore, even now, dogs die for humans when something happens in the house or when humans get sick. However, cats ran away when they saw people demanding. Dogs took the burden of humans when they were challenged. Dogs could die instead of people dying from their families. That is because humans loved dogs and gave their eyes to dogs, so dogs loved humans. They also watched houses for humans. Unlike dogs, cats ran away when they were unhappy, or people were sad. Therefore, dogs have stayed with humans since ancient times. Dogs only followed humans despite the difficult time and died instead of humans until now.
