Translation
1.
This is the story of old days, stag and other animals became
so different one from the other.
2.
Stag and monkey became good friends.
3.
In those days the stag had a big tail but the monkey had
no tail.
4.
One day the monkey asked the stag for his tail and said
"friend, I want to put on your tail and see how I look".
5.
Then the stag said "put on my tail friend and see how
you look" and gave him his tail.
6.
Afterwards the monkey having put the tail of the stag, climbed
the tree.
7.
Then the stag said "friend come down and give my tail
but monkey ran away.
8.
Then the stag wandering took his own liver and made a tail
out of it.
9.
Men say "That is why even now stag’s tail is so good
and it tastes so good and it tastes like a liver.
