Translation (Rita Seng Mai) It's about sambar and tiger. A long time ago, there was a sambar in a forest. That sambar was peacefully eating grass on a beautiful grass field in a forest. At that time, a hunter came there with his crossbow by the forest. When the sambar saw that, it was so scared. Then it ran into the forest quickly. It ran into the deep forest. Then the hunter followed by the footprints of the sambar and chased it. Wherever it ran, the hunter followed and chased it. It didn't even know where to run. There was a cave in a forest too. When it saw that cave, it went into there. Then it felt at ease and thought, "I am safe finally. I could escape successfully from the hunter finally." Unfortunately, there was an animal which lived in that cave. It was the tiger's cave. At that time, the tiger saw that something went inside its cave. Then it peeked the cave, and it saw that there was a sambar. So the tiger was hiding somewhere besides the cave not to be seen by the sambar. The tiger was trying to hide not to be seen by it. Then, the tiger went inside the cave slowly and secretly. It jumped on the sambar which was staying inside the cave and killed it right away. The sambar was about to die soon since it got bitten by the tiger. That sambar was saying something before it died. "We have many enemies. I was just so happy that I could finally escape from the hunter, but I couldn't escape from the tiger," said the sambar. It was dead sorrowfully by shouting like that.
