KK1-0219 - Nyau hte hkan a lam (Why cats and dogs don't get along) with English translation

Translation (Seng Pan) The story is about cat and wild cat. I will tell this story in two versions. The first one is why cat and wild cat cannot be together. Long ago, a cat and a wild cat lived together. One evening, the wild cat said, "Friend, we have meat for dinner. Go and fetch fire from the village! We need to cook the meat." So, the cat went to a widow's house to fetch the fire. There he saw the stick rice which was put out to dry to make rice wine. He ate the sticky rice. As he had a lot, he was so full and couldn't get up. At home, the wild cat had been waiting for him long time but he did not go back to him. That's why the wild cat railed at the cat that wherever I found you, I would kill and sit on you until you die. From that day on, their friendship was ended. Therefore, if the wild cat sees the cat nowadays, he kills him because he didn't fulfil his work to fetch fire. On the other hand, as the cat ate the sticky rice a lot, he didn't want to see it and hasn't had it anymore from that day on. Transcription (Lu Awng) Nyau hte hkan a maumwi hkai na re.

【译述（Seng Pan）】本故事围绕家猫与野猫的渊源展开，将以双版本形式呈现。首个版本阐释二者何以无法相守相伴。远古之时，家猫与野猫比邻而居。某日暮，野猫言道："挚友，我们尚有肉食待烹，速往村落取火，以烹制这份肉食。"家猫遂赴一位寡妇家中取火。途中，他瞥见为酿酒晾晒的糯米饭，遂饱食一顿，直至腹满难起。家中的野猫久候不至，心生怨怼。自此之后，野猫便对家猫放言："无论我于何处寻得你，定将你击杀并坐压至死。"二人的友谊就此终结。时至今日，若野猫撞见家猫，仍会痛下杀手——只因家猫未能完成取火的差事。另一方面，因家猫曾暴食糯米饭，此后便对其心生厌憎，自此不再食用。
