Title Galang hte uhkai kasha (Eagle and chick) with English translation
Description Translation (Seng Pan)
The story I am going to tell you now is about an eagle and a chick. There was a thirsty chick. As he wanted to drink water, he went to a lake. That time, an eagle was peeking at him to eat. So, the eagle was planning to catch when the chick arrived at a footprint of the cow. The eagle immediately descended to the chick, but his beak was placed in the ground. And he got hurt. The chick also teased him. So, he decided to chase again. However, when he tried to fly, his wings got hurt. His whole body was in pain too. Again, he tried to attack the chick. When he started flying, all his feathers fell off. And his body was in pain too. But the eagle didn't give up. He determined to chase as the last time. This time, he used all his energy to catch the chick. But unluckily the eagle had lost his breath. Therefore, we should not be greedy for food.
