KK1-1046 - Woi hte hkangse a lam (The monkey and the alligator) with English translation

Translation (Rita Seng Mai) There was a monkey that stayed on the two trees. He ate fruits from the trees and spent his days swinging back and forth on those two trees. Later, he became friends with a crocodile. He gave some fruits to the crocodile. The crocodile also shared some fruits with his wife. He always left the fruits for his wife. His wife asked him, "Where did you get these fruits? They are really tasty." The crocodile said, "My friend Monkey gave me. He picks some fruits from his trees and shares some with me. They are indeed tasty." His wife was craving for the monkey's heart. She said, "I want to eat the monkey's heart. Bring it for me." The male crocodile promised his wife that he would take the monkey's heart. He told the monkey, "My friend, my wife said she would like to meet you. If you are okay, can you come with me to meet her?" The monkey rode on the crocodile's back to meet his wife, but on the way, he sensed that something was not right. So he told the crocodile, "My friend, I forgot to bring my heart. I left it on the tree. I need to take it. Let's go back first." They went back to the tree. The monkey climbed on the tree and said to the crocodile, "You are just so stupid. You don't know that I am lying to you! If I take my heart out, how could I be alive? I will die, definitely. You are so stupid!" Since then, they were apart. This is the end of the story. Transcription (Lu Awng) Woi wa ga da dai hpun 2 sha nga ai da.

译文（丽塔·森·迈（Rita Seng Mai））：
从前有一只猴子栖息于两棵树上，以树上的果实为食，终日在这两棵树间荡跃嬉戏。其后，它与一只鳄鱼结为好友。猴子会赠予鳄鱼一些果实，鳄鱼亦会将果实分给妻子，且总会为妻子留存。鳄鱼的妻子问道：“你从何处得来这些果实？滋味真是绝佳。”鳄鱼答道：“我的好友猴子赠予我的，它从自己栖息的树上采摘果实，分予我一些，确实十分美味。”鳄鱼的妻子觊觎猴子的心脏，说道：“我想吃猴子的心脏，你把它带给我。”雄鳄鱼应允了妻子，要为她取来猴子的心脏。它对猴子说：“我的朋友，我妻子说想见你，若你方便，可否随我一同去见她？”猴子骑在鳄鱼背上前去赴约，途中却察觉有异，便对鳄鱼说：“我的朋友，我忘了带自己的心脏，留在树上了，我得回去取，咱们先回去吧。”二人返回树下，猴子爬上树后对鳄鱼说道：“你真是愚笨至极，竟不知我在骗你！若我将心脏取出，如何还能存活？必定会死掉的，你太蠢了！”自此之后，二者便断了来往。故事到此结束。
