Translation (Rita Seng Mai)
The story's title is A tortoise and a bear that forgave each other. Once in a dense forest, there was a small tortoise and a bear. They were beloved friends. They always played together. One day, while the tortoise was playing in the water, the bear came to tease him. The tortoise wasn't angry at being teased. He just smiled and accepted the bear's playful actions. While the bear was playing, the tortoise came to him and tried to make fun of him. But the bear didn't mind at all. And there was a wicked and bad fox living in the forest. The fox thought, "The tortoise and the bear are good friends. I am so jealous of them. For me, I don't have any friends. What should I do to separate them?" He was thinking so hard and came up with a bad idea. He thought, "I should tell them a lie. Will they believe me? They adore each other so much. That's the problem. Whatever, I will tell them a lie." Then he went to the bear and said, "Your friend, the tortoise, doesn't like you anymore. He is just pretending to like you. He is really bad. Don't you know?" The bear couldn't believe it and asked, "Really?" The fox said, "Yes. Let me go back now." Then he went to the tortoise. He told the tortoise, "Your friend bear doesn't like you because you are small and weak. He said, 'You walk too slowly." The tortoise was upset and thought the bear really said like that. The bear and the tortoise fell out with each other. One day, they accidentally met each other on the way. They opened up about their feelings and tried to solve the misunderstanding. The tortoise said, "You told me that I am weak and slow." The bear quickly denied, "I didn't! Who told you?" Then the tortoise said, "It's the fox!" Both knew it was the fox. They went to the fox and asked him, "Why did you do that to us? Why did you lie to us like that?" The fox was embarrassed after being found out about his lie. He just ran away. He was so embarrassed that he dug a hole in the soil and lived there. So, the foxes live in dens.
