Translation (Seng Pan) A long time ago, there was a man who was weeding grass in his field. As he kept weeding grass with chopping hoe, he found a crab. "I like it," he said and picked it up. After that, he continued doing it and saw a snake. It bit him, and he collapsed. He was in pain and couldn't get up too. The snake also stayed just beside him. The crab that he kept in his pocket came out and said, "Who harmed my saviour?" When he looked around, he saw a snake. And he understood that the snake bit his saviour. "Why did you bite the one who was weeding grass in the field, my saviour? Now make him relieve! If not, I'll kill you. I'll kill you with my claws," the crab yelled. "Don't kill me! I will save him," the snake answered. As he promised to save him, he removed the poison from the man's body. Then the man got well and could continue doing his work.
