Transcription of a retelling of Sraa nao le svang nao ki paomin (the Story of the Poor Boy and the Rich Boy), as narrated by Rocky Suungnem.

The tiger offers to speak to the king on behalf of the poor boy, telling him that he had seen some fish eating figs up in a tree. The king finds it absurd, and the tiger says that catching a deer up in a tree is also absurd.
