Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This story is about how a goat got a dog's horns. Once upon a time, the villagers from a village were raising many dogs and goats. In the past, dogs had horns. The goats didn't have any horns. The dogs were always finding delicious food to eat. They licked the tasty food from the mortar. At that moment, a dog liked licking the food in the mortar. Then, he plucked his horns off and put them beside it. A goat passed by, saw those horns and put them on his head. And he walked away. So, the dog hated the goat. The dogs usually chased the goats and bit them hard. The dog I raised in the past also bit the goats whenever it saw them. In fact, they are fighting over the horns. This is the end of the story.
