Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell is about a traveller. When he asked to stay as a guest in a village, the villagers wouldn't let him sleep inside the house and made him sleep near the pigsty. Then he killed the tiger. Once upon a time, there was a man who was travelling. When he arrived at a village, the villagers said to him, "Our village is in danger from a tiger. It often attacks us. However, we don't have a place to offer you for sleeping. When it gets dark, we have to stay inside the house to avoid a tiger attack." The man said, "All creatures are created by God. We are all just trying to survive. Everything will be fine." Then he prepared to sleep near the pigsty. He cleared the bamboo growing near the pigsty and made a space to sleep. Then he built a small campfire. After that, he started making bamboo strips. Around midnight, the tiger approached the village. The villagers beat the gong and shouted to warn each other. Soon after he heard the villagers shouting, the tiger came near the pigsty where he was staying. He stayed inside it while keeping the campfire burning. The tiger prowled around the place where the man was staying. But he sat calmly inside. Then, the tiger wet its tail and tried to put out the campfire. It put its tail inside. As soon as the tiger put its tail in, the man grabbed it. The tiger struggled hard to pull its tail out. But the man tied the tiger's tail with the bamboo strips he had made earlier. He also burned the dagger in the campfire he had built. He held the tiger's tail hard and tied it to the pigsty. After that, he stabbed the tiger's back with the dagger he had just burned. The tiger was in pain and eventually died. "That man might have been eaten by the tiger. We can't hear anything now. Maybe it's because the tiger is full," the villagers said. They had announced a reward for the person who could kill the tiger. The announcement was: "We will reward gold and other valuables to anyone who can kill the tiger." They thought the man was already dead. The next morning, the man went into the village and He said to the villagers, "I killed the tiger that you were so afraid of. You might have thought the tiger had already eaten me. Come and see the dead tiger." Then the villagers went there to check. As announced, they gave the man gongs, cows, and other valuables. They gave those things to the man. The man successfully killed the tiger. He didn't even need to do business across the village. He returned to his home with the cows, pigs, gongs, and all the gifts the villagers had given him.
