Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I'm going to tell is about a thief who stole buffaloes. Once upon a time, there lived a man in a village. He owned a buffalo. He looked after his buffalo on the farm. One sunny afternoon, he fell asleep under the tree while he was looking after his buffalo. Usually, there was no thief around the farm. So, he could sleep peacefully. Coincidentally, a man walked past the tree where the buffalo owner was sleeping under it. He saw the buffalo was eating grass alone. So, he took it. After a few hours, the owner woke up. But his buffalo was gone. He was finding it near the farm, but he couldn't find it. So, he thought, "Someone might steal my buffalo." He saw the footprints on the ground. Then, he followed through the footprints. He could catch the thief somewhere on the way. He asked the thief, "My friend, why did you take my buffalo?" The thief lied to him, "No, it's mine." The owner of the buffalo claimed, "No, it's mine. While I was letting my buffalo eat grass on the farm, I fell asleep for a while. You took it at that time." But the thief kept claiming that it was his buffalo. The thief said, "It's mine. I look after it every day." Then, the owner said, "Let's go to the judge." The thief said firmly, "Let's go! You will lose anyway. You are just wasting your time." The owner said, "It's okay. We will know the truth when the judge decides for us." They took the buffalo and went to the judge. When they arrived there, they told him everything. The judge asked the thief first, "What do you feed to your buffalo?" He lied to the judge, "I am a rich man. So, I feed only beans and peas porridge to my buffalo. I don't feed the grass." The judge said, "Okay. Let me ask the other man." And he asked the owner of the buffalo. He asked, "What do you feed to your buffalo?" The owner of the buffalo said, "Dear judge, I am so poor. I can barely earn enough money for myself. So, I feed only grass to my buffalo. Usually, I take it to the farm and let it eat some grass. And I cut some grass and take them home to feed my buffalo." Then, the judge ordered his servants, "Feed the laxative to the buffalo." They mixed some food and lots of salt and fed the buffalo. After eating it, the buffalo had frequent bowel movements. The servants told the judge, "Master, the buffalo has pooped." The judge asked, "What's in the poop?" They answered, "Only grass!" The judge knew that the man who fed the grass was the owner. He told both of them, "You said that you fed bean porridge. And you said that you fed only grass. Now, there is only grass in the buffalo's poop. So, the owner is the one who feeds grass to it." And he gave it to the man who fed grass. The thief was ashamed.
