Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell you now is how the cats became. A long time ago, the wild cats planned to hold a celebration. One of them was requested to go and take a torch from the village. The wild cat also went to the village. He went into an old lady's house. The lady spread out the rice. Since the wild cat was so hungry, he ate those rice. After he felt full, he lay near the fireplace. And he fell asleep. At night, the host lady took him to her bedroom and let him sleep there. The wild cat was so happy. But he planned to get up and go back to the forest before the old lady got up. However, the next morning, the lady got up before the wild cat woke up. The lady cooked the rice and fed him. Therefore, the wild cat was enjoying life there. However, he was afraid that other wild cats would come and harm him. That's why he always covered his waste and urine because he was afraid that his other friends would get his smell. Therefore, he just defecated in the fireplace and always stayed near the fireplace.
