Translation (Seng Pan) No.14, No. 13. A long time ago, when humans and animals lived together, they bullied each other a lot. They fought each other for kingship. The animals declared that those who could roar the most should take the kingship. And they all agreed. So, each of them shouted on their own. However, no one had a scary roar. And no sound was pompous to each other. The elephant also made a big noise. But nobody was frightened. A great hornbill also made a loud noise. But no animal didn't get scared. Moreover, a barking deer shouted loudly but nobody was scared. Even though each of them roared, it was useless, and there was no one who got scared. And they looked for humans whose roar could frighten them. Then the thunder said, "Let me shout!" When they heard a loud crashing noise, the animals, including other animals who stayed in the caves like rats and wildcats, also got scared. They went in and out of their burrows. The next morning when they all met again, they said, "We couldn't sleep the whole night since the thunder made a loud rumbling noise. Therefore, we should not vie with one another. Let all of us be of the same mind." Therefore, when there is a flood in a Hukawng land, all the animals assemble on a hill as they are afraid of water. That time, they don't kill and have each other. No one is attacked. Only after the flood and they disperse, they hunt their prey again. The elders have told the stories about animals like this one. They have told like that.
