Title Jaugawng a lam (Deer horn that killed a hunter) with English translation
Description Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
Once upon a time, there was a hunter in a village. He often hunted animals in the forest. One day, he went to the fortune teller. The fortune teller said, "You are going to die today." He was scared to death and decided to stay at home. He thought, "The wild animals might kill me. I am going to stay at home." There was a deer's horn on the wall up his bed. When he was lying on his bed, he felt like the horn was going to fall right over him. So, he was frightened and hung it on another pole. But he didn't feel at ease. So, he moved that horn every place in his house. In the end, he was tired. Then, he leaned against the pole where he hung the horn. Unfortunately, the horn fell right on him. He was stabbed and died.
