Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Once upon a time, there was a lady in a country. She was a servant there. (One day) Her duty was to take care of the queen. She needed to wash the queen's clothes and did everything that the queen needed. (One day) She was always busy with her work. She had to clean the queen's bed. After that, she needed to prepare food for the queen. She was always busy. One day, as she was tired, she fell asleep for a while. She fell asleep because she was exhausted from working. The queen punished her because of it. She scolded her, "You have worked here for so long. Why did you do like that?" She blamed her for falling asleep. The queen continued, "As a punishment, I will order you to do something." The girl said, "It is okay. I will do anything you want me to do." The queen said, "There is a lion in a cave in the forest. If you manage to take a strand of its whiskers, I will let you continue working and stay in the palace. And I won't let you do any hard and tiring work." The girl was happy to hear what the queen said. At first, she was not happy because she was scared of the lion. She thought, "How should I do? The lion might eat me." She was thinking about how to take the lion's whisker. Then she prayed to GOD. The next morning, she cooked breakfast for everyone. And she took some meat and went to the lion. She stayed far from the lion and threw a piece of meat to it. She was watching the lion and its actions. She watched it and went back home. The next day, she cooked every meal and did the chores. She thought, "I will go there again today. What should I do to get a strand of its hair? I will give it another piece of meat today and take a step closer to it." She went there with a piece of meat that day. She went there again. She gave another piece of meat to the lion. That day, she took a step closer to the lion. She also entertained the lion and tried to make friends with it. She went there the other day. She could get nearly halfway to the lion. She also gave it another piece of meat. And she moved two steps closer. The lion got used to her. One day, she went there with a piece of meat again. She gave the meat to the lion and gently caressed its head. She was playing with its fur gently. She pulled a few strands of its fur. And she went back home. She just caressed its head and went back home. She went to the lion the following day. They grew close. That day, she fed it some meat and tried to caress its whiskers. She tried to pull its whiskers, just to make it get used to her touch. And she went back home. One day, she thought, "Today, I will definitely pull one of its whiskers out." Then she went to the lion. She fed it the meat and caressed its head. And she pulled one of its whiskers out. She took it to the palace and gave it to the queen. The queen said, "I thought you were just an ordinary girl. I never thought that you would be this brave and intelligent. I made a mistake to have you work as a servant. I made a mistake." Then, she gave her the title of Chief. The queen praised her, saying, "You can even pull the lion's whiskers out. I will reward you with the title of Chief. You are such an intelligent lady." She made her the Chief as a reward.
