Transcription of a retelling of Uitxok nuu le humpii paa paomin (the Story of She-frog and He-tiger), as narrated by Rengting Shilshi.

The frog rides on the tiger's tail and jumps off at the end, beating the tiger. The tiger proposes that they vomit to see who has eaten more meat.

The story is collected during the LLEC workshop at Mantripantha Village.
