Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Cats wanted to let their children to marry to the most intelligent and cleverest one in this world. They thought that the sun was the one which could give the light to everyone. So, they told the sun to marry to their daughter. The sun said, "When the clouds cover me, I am nothing. Clouds are the most powerful." Then, the cats went to the clouds and asked them. They replied, "The mountains could pass us. We aren't powerful enough." When the cats asked to the mountain, the mountain said, "No! Not me. The buffalos can fight and shake me by their horns." Then, the cats went to the buffalo and asked it to marry their daughter. But the buffalo said, "I can get easily killed with a rope. I am not the one." So, the cats said to the rope. The rope answered, "I can't do anything when the mouse cuts me. Just tell to the mouse." The mouse aslo said, "I can't be the one who can get married to your daughter. The cat usually kills me." Then, the cats thought, "Human could be the one who is the most powerful, strongest and best. So, we should let our daughter marry to human." And they went to human. At last, they stopped going to anyone else, just to human.
