Burma - Indochina. Palaung (Yunnan) [The hare ate grass and branches and wanted to try something else. I saw bees in the tree. A tiger came up. Hare: "There is a manga (several connected gongs) on the tree that I inherited from my grandfather, and I'm guarding it. The tiger said, "Is this manga sound good?" "Sure, it's excellent! The best in the world!" The tiger got even more interesting, he asked the hare to hit him once, but he said, "No, grandpa will be angry." The tiger started asking again, and the hare pretended to have mercy: "I'll go ask my grandfather if he allows me, I'll scream at you and you can hit you three times." The hare ran to the mountain and shouted: "Tiger, hit!" , - he hit, bees flew out of the hive and bit him. He wanted to bounce, but the hare had previously tied him to a hive. Seeing the tiger's suffering, the hare ordered to hit harder. The tiger knocked the hive down to the ground, and the bees became even more ferocious. The tiger decided to take revenge. The hare wet his fur and rolled over the flower petals, getting stains. When I met a tiger: "I did not deceive you, that hare was white and I was spotted." The tiger agreed. The hare untied the tiger and asked him to eat the honeycombs in half. He took half of it for himself with honey, and gave the tiger his honeycombs. The empty honeycombs pricked the tiger's mouth, and the hare ate. He showed his mouth full of honey: "Look, my mouth is all over in porridge." Now the hare has decided to try beef. I met another tiger and said he offered to become friends. Let the tiger get a cow and we'll celebrate our friendship!" The tiger bit to death the cow and they started butchering it. The hare broke off its horn and gave it to the tiger to eat, which screamed in a stomach ache. Hare: "Don't scream, the meat will go bad." The tiger listened and suffered in silence. The hare cut the meat and let the tiger go for water, the pumpkin must be full, otherwise the meat will deteriorate. Wild pigeon: "The tiger has a leaky pumpkin." The tiger mistook sincerity for a mockery and threw a stone at the pigeon. The hare hid the meat, divided the leftovers into two parts, and gave the bad one to the tiger. This meat was salty and bitter, but the hare said that it went bad because the water was not up to the brim. The next day, the hare saw people returning from picking bananas, lay down by the road, pretending to be dead. People put it in a basket full of bananas. The hare ate them, jumped out and ran away. I fell into a hole and couldn't get out. The tiger asked what the hare was doing in the pit. Hare: "Today the sky will fall, my grandfather told me to hide." Pointed to the movement of the clouds, the tiger believed that the sky was trembling. He promised not to touch the hare and jumped into the hole.
