Translation (Seng Pan) Once upon a time, there was a duck. She always went and swam in a pond. A crow was so jealous of her. So, she asked, "Why is your skin so fair?" "Because I have a shower here every day," the duck replied. "I'll also take a bath here," the crow said. Even though she had a shower every day, her skin hadn't become fair like the duck. One day when she was taking a bath, a feather of duck fell on her body. And she was so happy since she thought her skin had changed. But when she flew, it fell off. She realized it wasn't her feather and felt so unhappy. However, she didn't stop showering there. Finally, she caught a cold and died there.
