Translation (Seng Pan) This is all about Hkrai Naw and Hkrai Gam. Ohh... The story I will tell you now is about a turtle and a barking deer. The turtle and barking deer once held a running race. They made a promise that the one who got to the winning post first would live in the water, and the second one would have to eat the green leaves. Both agreed to compete. The barking deer thought that the turtle would not reach him. He was confident of winning the competition. When the barking deer started running, the turtle pulled all his legs in and went into the water. Before the barking deer, the turtle arrived at the winning post first. "How could you arrive here first? We compete in running," the barking deer said sadly. From that day, the barking deer eats the green leaves, and the turtle lives in the water.
