Translation (Rita) Once upon a time, there was a King dog in a village. He was really big. One day, it was due for his wife to give birth. But they didn't collect enough food for themselves. When the wife was about to give birth soon, the King dog said, "My wife, it's due for you to give birth. But we don't have enough food for us. So, let's go outside the palace to find some food." Then, they all went outside their palace. When they reached at the back of their palace, his wife wanted to give birth. So, she went into a big hole and gave birth to puppies. At that time, a tiger came towards them. The King dog noticed him coming to them. So, he said to his family, "It's perfect for us since we need food. There's a 14 feet long tiger coming to us. Wake our children up. Let's eat together! There's a 14 feet long tiger coming. Quickly! Wake our children up! Let's eat!" Then, his wife woke the puppies up and made a loud sound. After hearing it, the tiger was scared. He thought, "It could be true that they will eat me. They are so big." He quickly ran away from there. While he was running away, he met a bear. The bear asked him, "Why are you running away in panic?" He replied, "Oh, I ran into a dog family. They were hungry and tried to eat me. So, I am running away from them." Then, the bear said, "Oh, no need to be afraid. You are hungry too. You have to eat as well. Ride on my back. Let's go there!" The tiger rode on the bear's back and went to the dog together. When the dog saw them coming, he said, "That bear didn't listen to me! I told him to bring a bigger tiger. He brought only that small one. Wake up, my wife and children. Let's eat the tiger which the bear brings!" When the bear heard what the dog said, he quickly went into a bamboo bush to hide himself. Then, the tiger was frightened and tried to hide himself under the bush too. Unfortunately, his legs were stuck. But in the end, he could barely run away from there.
