Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, there was a rabbit who had a lot of money. As he was rich, he had many friends. His friends were pigs, goats, dogs, and elephants. One day, he walked into the jungle. When he strolled, the dogs which were only chasing for meat followed him seriously. He also ran away as fast as possible because those dogs were the hunter dogs. He first met a cow and begged for help, "Hey, my friend, please save me! Save me!" The cow pretended not to hear. And the cow went aside of him. At that time, he felt that the dogs were reaching him. So he continued fleeing, and then he got to a monkey. So he asked the monkey, "Hey, my friend, please rescue me! The hunter dogs are tracking me severely. Please help me faster!" But the monkey poked a beehive at the top of the tree and did not care about him. As a result, the bees chased after him, so he needed to run away again. The rabbit was running after running, and he ran into an elephant. "Hey, my friend, save me, please! I … um ... to me oh ... the hound dogs are after me grievously. Please deliver me!" begged the rabbit. That elephant also acted like not hearing him. Then the elephant said to him, "Oh, they are chasing only after you, and then they will be after all of us. So go away! Go away!" The elephant drove him away. He was so pitiful and hopeless thus he returned to run away. Afterward, he was so tired. He was exhausted and rested in a bush. He thought to himself, "Aww, when I have money and things to drink and eat, all my friends like me a lot. Now, I don't have anything, and I am facing difficulty. No one wants to help me even though I have requested to rescue me, and no one wants to save me even though I have many friends." The rabbit regretted it.
