Translation (Htoi Awng)
There were once a fox and a crane in a forest. They were friends. One day, the fox said, "My friend crane, since we are close neighbours, I want to treat you a meal." The crane accepted the fox's invitation. They chose a date to meet. The fox prepared the meat for the crane. When the crane arrived the fox's house, the fox said, "I have prepared the best dish for you. Let's enjoy." The fox could eat by picking up food from the plate. So, he was eating deliciously. But, the crane could not eat the meal because she had a long, sharp beak. Although she wanted to eat so much, she couldn't pick it up because of her mouth. Then, she went back home. Many days later, the crane invited the fox for a meal. She thought to take revenge. She prepared meat too. Then, she put it into a long neck pot. When the fox arrived at the crane's house, they ate the meal. Since the crane had a thin and long neck, she could eat the meat. But, the fox could not eat the meal because he had a short, big mouth. So, he just had to look at the crane eating meat. He really wanted to eat, though. After that, he went back home. After some days, they realized that they did wrong things to each other. When they met again, the crane said, "My friend, I shouldn't treat you like that. I'm so sorry." The fox also said, "I did wrong thing toward you. I apologize to you. Let's not do that kind of action in the future." In the end, they treated each other better than earlier and lived happily.
