KK1-1514 - Dusat ni hkaw hkam ra (The animals that needed a king) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) In the past, the terrestrial animals asked GOD, "GOD, give us the king." Then GOD appointed the lion as the king of land animals. Then the aquatic animals also asked, "GOD, give us the king." Then GOD gave them the tree log as their king. The aquatic animals came to see the king, the tree log. They tried to knock on it. Later, they asked GOD again. They said, "GOD, give us a new king." Then GOD appointed the crocodile as the king. But the crocodile kept eating them every time they went to see him. We can see the aquatic animals coming out of the water frequently. Actually, they are asking GOD to give them the king.
