Description:Translation (Htoi San) I am talking about travelers. A long time ago, in a forest, a wild boar, an otter, and a fox three of them made a journey. They saw a bridge on the way and discussed letting the oldest one pass it. After discussing, among three of them, the oldest one was the otter. "Hey, my friend otter, you are the eldest among us. Therefore you pass the bridge first. We will pass after you," the rest told him. The otter shook the bridge to check and found that it was kind of decayed. As the otter knew about the bridge, he thought, "I am going to test my two friends, wolf, and pig, here. When we are traveling, I can test whether they are real friends of mine or not." Then he talked to them, "I will cross this bridge first. Will you two save me if I fall while passing through it?" The pig answered first, "I will save you. Surely save you. We are travel-mates. If you are dying, I will rescue you even though I die." The fox told him next, "I can save both of you. If you are almost dead, the real friend of yours, who is me, will give my life to save you all." The otter decided, "Alright, If you say so, I will cross this first." So the otter passed it as he was the oldest. When he reached the middle of the bridge, he intentionally stepped on the decayed wood plank and fell into the water. He shouted as he was drowning, "Friends, please help me! I don't know how to swim. Help me!" The pig replied first. "E, I am so afraid of water, so I don't dare to go into the water. I also don't know how to swim. If you are dying, you only die from the three of us. It is better to escape the two of us. We all three cannot die. I also cannot die." Then the pig ran back to the hill. The pig stood up on the hill, so the other said to the fox, "Hey friend fox, I am dying, and please save me." The fox replied, "E Friend, It is the same thing as the pig said. I also don't know how to swim. Instead of dying the three of us, you die alone, which is enough." "We both will continue our journey until we reach our destination," the fox denied. The otter responded, "Whatever types of water they are, I am the animal staying in the water, so I am so good at swimming, and I can swim for a long time. I also can come out of the water by myself." Then he swam strongly and came out. The pig and the fox were shocked. After that, they all went back home. After two or three weeks, The fox and the pig called the otter, "Hey friend otter, let's travel again. The journey is quite far this time so let's travel together." The otter replied, "Like you two friends, I don't want to travel with you. Never call me whenever you travel. If I didn't know how to swim that day, I would already be dead." "I was just testing you at that time. I will never travel with the two of you forever. From today onwards, I will never make friends with you anymore. I don't want to be friends with you." So he did not make friends with them from that day. Until now, the three of them are not friends with each other, and they only stay together with their groups.
