Translation (Gun Mai) The title of the story is a lion and a large horse-fly. Long long ago, there was a lion who was a big animal among other animals. He was also a wild animal so he said to himself that "I am a king in this place. No one can annoy me. All animals must worship me and respect me. I am the king here." He was staying there very proudly. When the lion was sleeping, a large horse-fly was very hungry and was flying around the head of the lion and bit around the ears and forehead so the lion was bleeding. When the large horse-fly bit, the lion got very angry and said that "Even I am the king, who is annoying me? You such a very horse-fly is annoying me? What can you do again to me?" and the lion got very angry and was trying to catch the large horse-fly but the lion could not catch it. When the lion was just jumping again and again to catch the large horse-fly and got angry, a spider who was living near the lion said to the lion that "King lion, even though you are a big animal, you don't have the ability to control small animals because you don't have intelligence. I am not as big as you but the large horse-fly is my food. I used to catch and eat the other large horse-flies." The lion then said to the spider "Yeah, that is true. Friend spider, I want to kill this large house-fly. Please kill for me. I will give you back for your gratitude." "OK then," the spider said. Then, the spider made his nets around the lion and all the insects including the large horse-fly were caught in the spider's nets and were eaten. Then, the lion said that "Thank you very much, spider. You can come to my place, let's called the palace. You can also stay there and please protect me from such insects that are coming to me. I won't also do you anything. I won't also let other animals do anything to you. Let's support each other." It was also good for the spider because if he stayed alone in other places, the insects might not come to him so he might not have to eat. But, because of the lion, a lot of insects came. It was not only a benefit to the spider but also a benefit to the lion. It was also helpful for others while it was also protecting him. They shared their skills with each other like that and lived happily. Transcription (Lu Awng) Maumwi gabaw gaw hkanghkyi hte jinghkam a lam nga re.
