Translation (Htoi San) The story is about a rabbit and an alligator. Once upon a time, in a jungle, the rabbit saw the other side of the river and thought it seemed very happy to stay there. That rabbit was bored living on this side, so he considered it beside the water. "How can I pass to the other side?" At that time, an alligator came out from the water. "Hey, what are you thinking?" the alligator asked him. The rabbit replied, "Do you know what I am thinking about? Don't be curious." They argued with each other like this. "I want to cross this river to reach the other side. So I am considering how I can cross it," the rabbit told the alligator. "Do you think you can pass this river? I am the host of this river. You cannot cross it," the alligator insisted. The rabbit responded, "I am the king of all this land. The whole hill from this side is mine." "If you are the owner of this lang, how many relatives do you have?" the alligator asked, and the rabbit answered, "I have many. How about you? How many relatives do you have?" "I have many," the alligator said. The rabbit challenged, "Alright, Let's show our relatives tomorrow." The alligator brought all his relatives filled in the water the following morning. The rabbit saw them splashing all over the water. The alligator asked him, "Show me how many of your relatives." "They will come later, so you ask your relatives to line up side by side," replied the rabbit. "Let's arrange if you can reach the next side of the river or not." As the rabbit said, the alligators got together side by side until they reached the other side of the river. The alligator told the rabbit, "I told my relatives to stand in line on the water." The rabbit responded, "Alright, I will try walking. I will try running on them for how long it is. While I am waiting for my relatives, I am thinking of trying to walk on this." The alligator agreed with him. The alligator made a deal with the rabbit, "f your relatives do not show up, I will eat you." The rabbit replied, "Alright if my relatives come here, I will eat you too." They made an agreement with each other. The alligator agreed with the rabbit and asked his relatives to line up straight until they reached another side of the river. "I will cross over them to see how far they can stand until reaching the other side or not." Then the rabbit stepped on them and passed through. He stepped and stepped until he got to the other side of the river. After that, he told the alligator, "E Alligator, I am so grateful for you. My relative is me. There is only me among my relatives. I am bored staying over that hill, so I want to come here, and I could reach here because of you. I will never forget you for your help." In the end, the rabbit could get to where he wanted to go. It is about how clever the rabbit was. Transcription (Lu Awng) Brangtai hte hkang se a lam tsun na re.
