Translation (Gun Mai) It is another story. It was the time when the humans and the animals could understand each other in the world and there were nine suns in this world. Because it was very hot for the humans and the animals, as it was nats worship era, they went to the land of the sun and the land of the moon and talked to the king of the sun that "Dear the king of the sun, we, humans are very difficult to live because it is very hot. Therefore, please give us only one sun." Then, they returned to the world and discussed with other animals to buy only one sun from the king of the sun. When they discussed to agree among them, "Since we will only have one sun, let's pay taxes among all of us," they discussed among the animals. The animals agreed to pay the taxes to buy the sun. They discussed each type of animal and all types of animals agreed. That's why - the reason that there are no upper teeth among the buffalos was that they had to pay to buy the sun. We, humans also had a tail in the past. At the edge of our spine which is near the anal, if you touch there, you will feel the edge of the bone. It was we, humans paid as tax to buy the sun. We gave our tail. The reason that the horse has no horn was that he had to give his horn to buy the sun. That's why the horse had no horn, which is not an amazing thing. The dog also had nine tails but they had to give eight tails out of the nine tails to buy the sun. They said that "If it is to get the sun well," so they cut their eight tails and paid as tax. The birds were also asked to pay the tax that "You all the flying things also need to pay the tax." So, the birds also paid tax respectively among the different types of birds. But, the bat was a slicker because he was a flying thing but his body was similar to a mouse. Although the body of the bat was like a mouse, the bat had wings and could fly. When the birds were collected taxes, the bat said that "I am just a mouse," and he did not pay. The bat shirked. When the mice were collected taxes, the bat said that "I am just a bird." That's why the bat does not stay under the sun and just living in the dark now. The mouth, body, hands, and legs of the bat were also similar to the mouse but he had the wings. He was in the middle so he doesn't get the sun. A type of frog, toad also said that "I don't believe it. I just live in the water and gorge. That's why I don't need to pay. I don't need to get the sun because I am the type who lives in the water." So, the toad did not pay the tax. Then, they said that "OK, now when the sun comes, who will welcome the sun?" The roaster that we humans raised in our home said that "I will welcome the sun." The reason that the roaster crow in the morning now is welcoming the sun. Because it was very hot, the mouse just lived under the ground and dug many holes and networked their holes inside the ground. The reason that the mouse stayed under the ground was that they could not resist when there were nine suns. Now, the mouse does not dig a lot of holes, just dig a hole and do in and out through one hole. The story was told so.
