Description:		Translation (Mike Tu Awng) Long time ago on this earth, there was no animal called cat. There were three giant mice that caught and ate human beings. At that time, human beings on earth were pondering on how to kill this human eating mice, who could kill them, and if those mice weren't killed, human beings on earth would be extinct. Then, they prayed to God, known as "Sagya" in those times as a name of a God, to send someone who would know how to kill those mice. God listened to their prayer and sent a cat to the earth. When the cat was sent, human beings on earth were very happy and said to the cat, "There are three mice that catch and eat human beings". They promised to the cat by saying, "If you could kill these three mice, we will send you back with 'Shat chyaru lit' rice and alcohol beverage in a traditional basket." In reality, this cat caught those three human eating mice; the cat caught one rat in its mouth, and it grasped the other rat in its front paws. The cat grasped the other rat in its back paws. Thus, the cat got the three mice at once. Human asked to the cat when they saw that the cat grasped the mice, "Oh cat, now have you caught the three mice?". The cat replied "Yes". At that moment, one rat from its mouth escaped from the grip. The cat continued to hunt for the one rat that escaped on that day till today. That's why the cat couldn't go back to its god that sent it to the world because the cat is still hunting the one rat that escaped. From that moment on, we can see cat in this world. Nowadays, when we pat a cat on its neck, it makes sound like, "grawgra grawgra", and the meaning of that sound is, "You said you would send me back, but you didn't, you said you would send me back, but you didn't."
