Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) It's about a rabbit and a fox. Once upon a time, there were a rabbit and a fox in a forest. They were best friends. One day, the rabbit thought to win over the fox. So they suspected each other and plotted. But the fox knew that the rabbit was plotting against him. Then, the fox made a sample of human with hays, straws and branches. And it put that scarecrow on the way where the rabbit usually passed. It also applied some sticky liquid like coal tar on that scarecrow. And it hid in the bush. At that time, the rabbit came out to find food. On its way, it saw that scarecrow and asked, "Hey! Who are you?" But that scarecrow didn't reply anything. And the rabbit asked again, "Hey! Who are you!?" But the scarecrow didn't show any reaction too. Then the rabbit felt so angry and shouted, "Who are you!? Can't you hear me?" And it beat it up. But when it beat the scarecrow up with one of its hands, its hand was stuck with the tar that was applied on it. So it beat with another hand. Then that hand was also stuck on it. It felt angry and beat the scarecrow with its legs. But its legs were stuck too. At that moment, the fox came out of the bush. "Hey! My friend, Rabbit! You are smart and intelligent. But now, you don't even know that it is just a thing which is like a human. You felt so angry since it didn't reply to you or show action, so you beat it up. See! Now, you are stuck on it. But for me, I am so intelligent and have wisdom. Now, you are in my hands. You are going to die by my hands," told the fox. Then the rabbit said, "Alright, my friend. You can kill me if you want. If you want to beat me up, you can. But only one thing, don't throw me into the thornbush. Please, don't throw me into the bushes which are filled with thorns or spines. I will willingly die by your hands. Beat me as you like. But, don't throw me into the thornbush please." When the rabbit said like that, the fox thought about it. "Hmmm, my friend might be scared of thorns. I will just throw him into the thornbush. He will be dead after getting stuck with thorns. Ummm, I will kill him in that way," thought the fox. Then it threw the rabbit together with the sticky scarecrow into the bushes on the mountain. When the fox threw the rabbit there, the rabbit could take off all the sticky tar on its hands and legs. The rabbit escaped successfully. Then the fox thought to itself, "Ummm... It could be like that. Rabbit is a kind of animal which grows in the bush. When I threw him there, he could escape successfully." Then, they were apart since then. But one day, they got to meet again. When they met, the fox asked the rabbit, "Where are you going to go now?" Then the rabbit replied, "I'm going out to find food." "I saw that there are much fish in that lake. Let's go fishing!" told the fox. "But I don't know how to do. I don't know how to catch the fish in the water," answered the rabbit. Then the fox said, "I will show you where it is. Let's go fishing together at night! We can't catch fish in the daytime. We can catch lots of fish only at night. Now I will show you where we can go fishing. You wait there. When I come back again, let's catch fish together. Sit by the lake and dip your tail in the water. I will teach you how to catch fish. When the fish bite your tail, raise your tail and quickly put onto the land. Then you will get much fish." Then the rabbit kept waiting for the time when the fish took the bait. While the rabbit was waiting there, the fox went back to its place. The rabbit thought, "If the fish bites my tail, I will immediately pull the fish out of water." But its tail couldn't feel anything since the water was freezingly cold. Then it thought, "It's okay even though I couldn't catch any fish. I will just go back." So it stood up to go back. But it felt something on its tail when it stood up. Then the rabbit pulled its tail hard. Unfortunately, its tail was cut off because it pulled its tail out with all of its strength. Seem like its tail was cut because of the bites of the big fish. There was much big fish in that lake at night. But the fox didn't tell about it to the rabbit. That's why the rabbit hasn't got a tail today. This is the end of the story.
