Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is the story I heard when I was young. This is about why the buffalo doesn't have teeth. One day, a man ploughed the field with the buffalo. He was ploughing the field. At that time, a tiger at the edge of the field said to the buffalo, "Oh, how could a big animal like you work for a tiny human? You have to endure his beatings and work hard. How pitiful you are!" The buffalo said to the tiger, "Humans are really intelligent. If you don't believe me, you test them." And he put the yoke on the tiger's neck. Once the yoke was on the tiger's neck, the man tied him with ropes quickly. Then the tiger fell to the ground. At that time, the buffalo looked at the tiger and laughed out loud. He turned his body while laughing, then accidentally hit his teeth against the embankment of the terraced field. All of his upper teeth were broken off. I have heard that this is why buffalo don't have upper teeth. This is the story we usually tell. Transcription (La Ring) Ndai..
