Description:		Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, there was an elephant country. Only the male elephants could attend the school in that elephant kingdom. The female elephants were not allowed to attend school. People said, "The girls need to work the house chores and no need to be educated. It is fine for the girls just working at home and knowing how to cook." A young female elephant wanted to go to school very much. Her grandfather had many books and taught her at home as she could not go to school. She spent time reading her grandfather's books. One day, tigers from a tiger kingdom came to them and asked for quizzes. "We will ask a query. If you can answer it, we will never make you an enemy and never start a war between you and us. We will stay together in unity and happily from now on," said the tigers. When the tigers asked for a quiz, no one could answer from the elephant kingdom. Even though there were many educated ones, no one could say the answer. The query that the tiger king asked was, "Where is the middle of the world?" None knew where the middle of the world was. Then the elephant king announced to the whole country who could answer it. Unfortunately, no one knew the answer. But the young elephant said, "I will answer," and she went into the palace bravely. There were tigers in the palace, and the tiger leader said surprisingly, "This girl! Such a little female elephant. Even mature, educated adults could not answer our query. Are you answering the question?" The girl replied, "It is fine. I will answer." The tiger let the girl answer, "Okay then. Give your answer." The tiger questioned, "Where is the middle of the world?" The young female elephant pointed out with her trunk on the ground in front of her. She showed them the place in front of her and said, "Here is the place." The audiences were surprised as she pointed out a place. The tiger leader said, "Yes, it is correct." "There is no way to measure and mark the middle of the earth. So this place is right as we can't measure it." Thus the elephants awarded the girl with much gold and silver. In the end, the tigers and the elephants united, and female elephants were allowed to attend the school to study due to this young female elephant.
