Description: Translation (by Seng Pan) This is about a human transforming into elephant. Long ago, there were a woman and her daughter-in-law. They were farmers of shifting cultivation. Every day, the woman went to the field and cleared the grass. But her daughter-in-law just stayed at home and only sewed the cloths. So, the woman said, "Daughter-in-law, you cannot make a living only by sewing the cloths. There are many weeds in our field. Let's go and clear them! If not, our paddy will be destroyed." However, the daughter-in-law didn't listen to her. So, she angrily ordered to go and clear. Since the daughter-in-law had magical power, she didn't go to the field before. But this time, she had to go there because of her mother-in-law's command. Although her mother-in-law removed the grasses by hands, she used her power and called out all the grasses from the field to the slope. And she pressed them with a large flat stone. In the evening, when she arrived back home, she said, "Mother-in-law, I have cleared all the grasses." "Really! Even though I have gone there every day and been doing it for several weeks, there still remains many grasses to be cleared. You just spent a day there and cleared all of them. Are you kidding?" the woman replied. "If you don't believe me, go and check! I've cleared all," her daughter-in-law insisted. So, the woman went to the field. She found out there was no single grass remained in the field. She was curious where her daughter-in-law threw the grasses because she used to throw in the forest. Therefore, she looked for the grasses. When she saw a large flat stone, she turned it over. Then, the sods sprang out to the field again. She went back home and told her daughter in law that she had made the sods spring out to the field. Her daughter-in-law went to the field again. As she saw it, she was so depressed. That's why she wore all the cloths she sewed and went in to the deep forest. Later, she became elephant by wearing those cloths. Therefore, the skin of elephant's front legs, hind legs, and head are not the same because the daughter-in-law sewed many different cloths into a very thick suit.
