Translation (Seng Pan) A long time ago, there was a lake. A big crocodile lived there. He ate all the animals that came and drunk the water in the lake. One day, a cattleman brought his buffalo near the lake and let it drink the water. At that time, a rabbit was also drinking water there. When the crocodile approached near the buffalo, the rabbit saw it and shouted, "Cattleman. The crocodile is going to eat your buffalo." So, the cattleman pulled his buffalo and went back. The crocodile got so angry at the rabbit. One day, he pretended like a piece of wood. When the rabbit came to the lake to drink water, he saw it and said, "If you are a wood, shake your body." And the crocodile made a move. The rabbit noticed it was the crocodile and ran away after drinking water. The crocodile became angrier than before. The next time, when the rabbit came and drank the water, he said again, "If you are a wood, shake your body." However, this time, the crocodile didn't move. So, the rabbit thought it was not the crocodile and drunk the water slowly. Then, the crocodile bit and put him into the mouth. "Wait! Wait! Can you laugh, "Ha ha ha!"? No, you can't. You are so stupid," the rabbit said. "Don't say that I am stupid. I know I can. Do I need to show you?" the crocodile replied. And the crocodile opened his mouth wide and laughed. At that moment, the rabbit bit the crocodile's tongue and ran away. From that time on, the crocodiles don't have a tongue. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng e da hka langai mi nga ai da.
