Description: Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell you is about the rats and monkeys that dug and ate sweet potatoes in a field. A long time ago, the rats and monkeys met in a sweet potato field. They had the same intention to dig the sweet potatoes and eat. The monkeys used their hands and poked. When they got the sweet potatoes, they ate them. The rats also did the same as the monkeys. They used their mouth to dig up the sweet potatoes. The rats made the middens under the leaves of sweet potato plants. There a golden rat baby was given birth. While the monkeys were digging up the sweet potatoes, the golden baby was thrown off to the other place together with the soil. Because the monkeys did not know there was the rat baby. Therefore, the rats were considering to take action on the monkeys. There was a big tree beside a river where the monkeys slept at night. While they were sleeping on that tree, the rats went near the tree. And they all bit the roots of that tree. The monkeys were sleeping at the top of the tree. Among them, one monkey that felt shaking said, "Why is our tree shaking so much? The tree we are sleeping on is shaking. What is happening? We should go down and check." Then some of the monkeys went down from the tree. The tails of the rats that were biting the roots sticked up since they were digging the soil and cutting the roots with their mouths. The monkeys said, "There is nothing. There are only sprouts." The monkey told their leader that nothing was there except sprouts. So, they went to sleep again. After a while, their heads were shaking again. "This is not right. Go down and check again! Why is our tree shaking?" the monkey leader said. He let a monkey look under the tree. "There is nothing. I could only see the sprouts," he replied. The monkey climbed up the tree and went to sleep again. All the rats dug the soil around the tree and bit all the roots. So, the tree fell off to the water. The monkeys also fell into the water. "No one helps us!" the monkeys shouted. And they saw a tiger near them. So, they yelled at the tiger to save them. The monkeys said, "If you help us, you can eat the fattest one among us." So, the tiger also saved the group of monkeys from the water as they let him eat one of them. All the monkeys were wet. Then the tiger asked, "Which one should I have now?" The monkeys replied, "We all are wet now. Choose one of us when we all are dry." After the monkey were dry, the tiger asked again, "Which one now?" "Now, we are not completely dry yet. To be drier, please whistle for us," the monkeys requested. The tiger also whistled for them. While he was whistling, the bamboos started to stagger. At that time, the monkeys ran away. Then the tiger was so angry and threatened, "Let me meet you in the sesame field!" Before the monkeys came to the sesame field, the tiger hit his mouth with some sesame plants. He laid on the ground by opening his mouth and pretended to be dead. While the tiger was lying in the sesame field, the group of monkeys arrived there. They said, "The tiger who said he would eat us is dead over there. Look at it! There are maggots on his mouth." "How deep is the tiger's inside? Let's put our hands inside and see how deep it is," other monkeys said. Then, the monkeys put their hands inside the tiger's mouth. They put not only their hands but also their legs into his mouth. After that they left. However, on the way, a monkey said, "We put our hands and legs into his mouth. But we didn't try to put our heads." So, they returned to the tiger. A monkey placed his head inside the tiger's mouth. At that time, the tiger ate the monkey's head. If the monkeys just tried to put their legs and hands inside the tiger's mouth, a monkey wouldn't be eaten. They did not think carefully before they acted. They thought placing their heads would be as safe as putting their hands and legs into the tiger's mouth. Therefore, the tiger got the chance to eat the monkey's head. Therefore, we all should consider pros and cons before we take action. If we do not have common sense, we will suffer where we should not. It is the same as the story. The monkeys had already tried putting their hands and legs in the tiger's mouth but a monkey placed his head and it was eaten. It is because they did not think carefully before they acted. Therefore, we, humans should be clever. Starting from that day, a Jinghpaw saying, "Monkey forgets putting head" is emerged.
