Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a couple in a village. One day, they saw a beehive on a tree. Then, the husband went there to harvest honey. He went there first while his wife was folding some banana leaves to put honey. So, she was a bit late. Meanwhile, a bear came there too. It came to eat honey. When he saw the bear, he was frightened and ran away. When the wife reached there, she saw the bear. It came towards her. So, she covered it with a basket. And she killed it. After that, she followed her husband who was running away. She was angry and said, "Why did you run away when you saw the bear? I killed the bear now! Let's go and carry that bear." The husband said to his wife, "It's true that you killed the bear. But I am embarrassed if you say that to the villagers." Then, his wife said, "Okay. Let's say you killed it. Now, let's go and carry that bear first." After that, they went back to the village. "Today, my husband killed the bear," said the wife. The news was spread over the other villages. In one village, there was a tiger which attacked the villagers very often. At dusk, it came near the boarders of the village. And it caught a pig and ate. Then, the villagers from that village said, "We've heard that there is a person who killed a bear in your village. There is a bad tiger in our village. Could you please come and kill it? We will give you whatever you want." His wife said to him, "You go there. We can get what we want." He was afraid to go to that village. But he listened to his wife and went there. At dusk, he just took some thin bamboo strips and went to the boarder of the village. He stayed inside the pigsty and waited for the tiger. The tiger got the smell of human and just tried to get him. It kept poking him with its tail. Then, he tied the tiger's tail with thin bamboo strips. Since the tiger kept poking, its tail was getting hurt. It felt hurt. When it tried to pull its tail out, one of its legs fell between the bamboos. When he tried hard to pull its leg out, another one got stuck again. It totally got stuck there. The next day, he said, "Are you sure that the tiger is really cruel and bad? I didn't kill it since I want you to kill it by yourself. I tie the tiger in the pigsty." The villagers went there to kill it. Some brought hammers and some held knives or spears. And they killed the tiger. Since there was a promise that they would give whatever he wanted, they gave him a gong. He took that gong and went back to his home. The news that he could kill a bear and a tiger was widely spread. In the past, there were chieftains who ruled the villages along the mountain. At the place where they ruled, there was a lake. People didn't dare to go there to take a bath or to carry some drinking water. If someone went there to have a bath in the morning, a dragon killed and ate him. So, the heads said, "We've heard the news. Go and find him." The servants called him to come with them. Then, he got there. He asked the chiefs of the village, "When does it happen?" They said, "It's around 9:30 in the morning. It's around that time." They continued, "If you don't dare to go there alone, there is a boat there. Take two of my servants." And they gave two guns and rope. They put the rope in the boat. He sat in the middle and went there. Some time later, the dragon came towards them. As soon as the dragon came, he was frightened out of his wits and ran away. The servants were about to get eaten by the dragon. So, they shot the dragon and killed it. The dragon was struggling too much. At last, it died on the littoral. "Why did you two kill the dragon? There are my poops all over the place. It's not that I was frightened. When the dragon ate that poop, I was going to catch it alive. But now, you two shot it! The chief will definitely get angry. I will tell him that you two killed the dragon," said the man. The servants were afraid and said to him, "Let's just say to the chief that you killed the dragon." They went back to the village then. "It was really strong. So, we had to shoot it. It was struggling so much and died on the land," he said to the chief. Then, the chief said, "It's okay. Although we couldn't get it alive, we got its dead body." And the chief continued, "As I promised you, I will give you some animals and some parts of our land. Come and live here." The chieftain said like that. Then, his wife said, "See! It's because of me. That's why woman must show how to do first to man. Then, man will be braver and braver. I killed the bear. If I didn't, there is no way that you would be so famous. Now, our family could live happily and wealthily." In the end, their family lived happily together there.
