Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell is about the food for a dragon. Once upon a time, there was a man in a village. He was a fisherman. He went fishing every day. One day, when he went fishing, he got not only small fish but also a big fish. He went back home after getting those fish, and thought to cook the fish. On his way back home, the big fish said, "Hey, fisherman! Don't kill me. Release me, please. You can't eat me. I'm the food for a dragon. I'm the medicine of the dragon." But the man didn't believe it. Then, he cooked that big fish when he got home. He cooked and ate that fish. After three or four years, (No, it was not three or four years later.) Soon after he had killed and eaten that fish, he went to the river. When he arrived there, there was a big snake near the river. He saw that big snake and was scared. He thought to himself, "If the snake is here, I will not get any fish today." Then he tried to kill that snake by his knife. He was about to strike that big snake. And the snake was really huge. We can't even guess how old it might be. It was still alive. Then the snake said to him, "You killed the fish which you were not allowed to eat in the past. Do you want to eat me too? And you are going to be a dragon very soon." Then, the man said, "No, I don't want to live in water. I want to live only on land. I was wrong. I am so sorry." And he continued, "I will never do like that again. I will not eat the big fish anymore. I will eat only small fish." He regretted it and apologized to the snake sincerely. Then, the big snake said, "You are going to be a dragon. But, since you apologized sincerely, the dragon forgives you. You will get the chance to live on land. The dragon which lives in this lake ate the big fish like you. He ate the fish which was not allowed to eat. That's why he became the dragon. He ate three or four fish. Then after three or four years, his body was swollen. There were scales on his body. When he stretched his body out, his body was lengthened. And he dived into the water. Then, he never got out from the water. And he became a dragon. But since you said sorry and apologized, you will not turn into a dragon." And the big snake knocked his head three times. The big snake said, "Tell what had happened to you to the villagers." Then it let the fisherman go back home.
