KK1-1258 - Gumra hte wuloi (The horse and the buffalo) with English translation

Full description

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Long long ago, there was a man who could understand the animals' language in a village. He did farming. He hired a servant to plow the field. That servant plowed the field with cow. The cow had weathered by the strong wind, the heavy rain and sun. It suffered from pain too. And it had to plow the whole morning. Then a horse saw that and the horse told the cow, "Hey, my friend Cow, you have suffered a lot. You have to plow no matter it is sunny or rainy. You have got the pain. Why don't you pretend like you feel sick on some days?" Then the cow pretended like it felt sick on one morning. It didn't get up to go to work. So the servant told the field owner, "Mister, it seems like the cow is sick. It doesn't get up to work." Then the owner told him, "If the cow is sick, plow with horse then." Then the servant plowed the field with the horse. The horse had to suffer a lot this time. So, if you feel pity for someone because he/she suffers a lot, then you will have to suffer too.
