Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about two tigers which didn't listen to their mother. Once upon a time, there was a tiger family in a forest. They were a mother tiger and her two children: one son and one daughter. The mother tiger said, "My children, don't go anywhere while I am going out to find food. Just stay at home. Listen to me, alright? People are really scary and dangerous for us. People can kill us. So, don't go outside." Then she went out to find food. When they heard about people, they two were curious about that. Especially the male young tiger wanted to know about people more. He wanted to know how people became and why they should be frightened of people. He called his sister to find people when their mother was away. Then they went out to find people. On their way, they saw a hen pecking at wood. Then the brother tiger asked, "Hey! Such a strong one. Are you a human?" The hen answered, "No, I'm not. Humans catch and kill me. They eat me. If you two are finding human, that's not me. Find another." Then they two continued their journey to find human. They saw a buffalo drinking water. They asked the buffalo, "You are huge, and you have long horns. Are you a human?" The buffalo answered, "No, I'm not. Human is such a strong creature. They can even tie a rope through my nose. Don't find people." The tiger sibling said, "But we want to find the strong people. We will find them." Then they continued their journey. They also saw a horse on their way. They asked the horse, "Wow! You have long hair. You are tall too. Are you a human?" The horse answered, "No, I'm not. People are really strong. They are strong, even though they are small. They can order us to do work. They can order us to carry loads. Don't find people." But they said, "No. We want to find such a strong human." Then they went to find people again. But his tiger sister was getting scared. She said, "They said people are really strong. Let's just go back home!" He replied to his sister, "No. We will not go back home. Let's continue finding people." He carried his sister and continued their journey. On their way, they saw a huge elephant. They asked the elephant, "You have large ears, and your body is really huge. Are you a human?" The elephant answered, "No, I'm not. Humans have small bodies. But they can order such a big animal like me to do work. Don't go to find humans!" But their curiosity was growing. Especially, the male tiger wanted to know about people more. His sister told him, "Let's go back home. Mom will be at home now." But her brother said, "No. Let's not go back home. Today, we have to find people until we see them." They kept going to find humans. Then they saw a little man cutting the wood. They asked him, "Have you ever seen a human?" The boy asked the tigers, "Are you two finding humans?" Then they said, "Yes. We are finding humans because we haven't seen them before." The boy replied, "If you two haven't seen humans before, I will show you." And the boy cut the wood into two pieces. He told them, "If you want to see a human, put your legs between these woods." The tiger sibling also did as the boy told. After they two had put their legs there, the boy quickly hit the wood. Their legs were stuck. They felt really hurt and cried out loud. Then the boy said, "We are humans. But I am just a kid. There are many people who are bigger than me." The boy called his father and said, "Dad. I have caught two baby tigers here." The boy's father reached there and asked, "Are you two finding humans?" Then they answered, "Yes, we are. Because we haven't seen humans." The boy's father replied, "We are humans." And he killed those two tigers. The tigers were died because they didn't listen to their mother and went out to find people. It's the end.
