Translation (Seng Pan) Once upon a time, there lived a very proud horse in a forest. He was an arrogant horse. And he wanted to rule other animals. He wanted to command all animals. One day, when he was roaming around in the forest, he found a lion skin. So, he planned to threaten other animals by covering his body with the lion skin. He wore it and went to other places. On the way, he met a big group of chickens. "I will eat you," he threatened them. "Master! Your majesty! Please do not eat us!" the chickens begged. He was so happy because they called him your majesty. He was satisfied with his threatening to chickens. After that, he scared the monkeys who were picking the fruits. The monkeys also got frightened and ran away. After they had run away, the horse ate the fruits that they left. By wearing the lion skin, the horse scared all other animals. One day, he arrived at the group of lions. As half of his body was the horse, the group of lions threatened him. "You are a tiger! This look is a lion!" the lions berated. They took the lion skin which the horse was covering. And they tore him with claws. Many lions badly surrounded the horse. At that time, he felt regret about what he did. However, he couldn't stay in the forest because he was chased and attacked by the lions. Finally, he had to run away from them and had to stay alone.
