Title Gwi chyang hte gwi hpraw (The black dog and the white dog) with English translation
Description Translation (Htoi San)
A long time ago, there were two dogs, a black dog and a white one. One day, their owner put them together. The black dog did not want to see the white dog as well as the white dog did not want to see the black dog. The owner of the two dogs tied them together. Their keeper placed their food separately. The owner wanted them to get along together. The black dog was not mature. The white dog was humble, and he waited for the black dog while he was eating as they were tied up together. The black dog changed his mind to be mature due to the white dog's patience. The black dog said, "You waited for me while I was eating, so I will wait for you while you are eating." The black dog stood by when the white one ate. They both were full of eating and became mature. The owners were so glad and loved them so much. They untied them and let them stay separately. So they could go around freely. Therefore, due to their unity and understanding of each other, they both were full of food and loved by their owners.
