Translation (Seng Pan) Once upon a time, the elephants lived in their place happily. They lived in a deep forest. One day, they didn't get the rain anymore. Their place became so hot and dry. An elephant said, "I've got an information. There is a lake in the rabbits' place. Shall we go there?" "Yeah! It sounds a good place. Let's go!" the other elephants replied. And they all went there together. The rabbits lived happily near their lake by guarding it together. But the groups of elephants arrived there. They were eyeless and didn't aware of the small rabbits. And their bodies were so big. They stepped on many rabbits. So, some rabbits were dead. That's why the remained rabbits were heartbroken. The next day when the elephants came to the lake, they still stepped on the rabbits as they were so big and didn't see the rabbits. Therefore, the rabbits held a meeting. "The elephants stepped on us and killed us. We are nearly extinct. How should we do?" a rabbit discussed. Then the cleverest rabbit said, "Don't worry about it! I know how to solve. Trust me! Let me solve it!" "Then you take this duty. Solve it as you like!" the others replied. "I will call the elephant leader," the cleverest rabbit said. After that they went and met the elephant leader. The cleverest rabbit said, "The respectful elephants, please do not come to our lake from today!" "We are so happy to visit there. How could you say not to come? We go there because we want to drink water," the elephants replied. "If you do not scare, come and see the lake at a full moon night. The moon let us guard it," the cleverest rabbit said. "How could it be? We don't trust your word," the elephants replied. So, at a full moon night, all the elephants went to the lake. And an elephant saw the moon in the lake. He said, "Come and look! There is the moon." "They didn't lie us. It's true. There really is the moon in the lake. Let's go back! The lake has an owner. If we don't go back, the owner will get angry," the other elephants said. Starting from that day, the rabbits didn't live with other animals. And they lived happily with their groups. As the rabbits were clever, they could escape from danger. Transcription (Lu Awng) Moi shawng de da ndai magwi ni gaw shanhte shara kaw grai pyaw na nga ai da.
