Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) A long time ago, the dog and the pig competed against each other to see who would get to stay in the house. In the past, people lived in long houses. There is a story about a dog and a pig competing to see who would get to live with people inside the house. In the past, people mainly worked on farms and fields. The owner said to the pig and the dog, "Work on the farm." Then the pig worked really hard. The dog just lay down without working. But when the pig finished working on the farm, the dog went there, stepped on the ground, and left its footprints. Then it looked like the dog was the one who worked. The owner thought, "The dog works really harder." He let the dog live with them in the house. We usually say to a lazy person who stays at home and comes to work after everything is done, 'the dog who works over the pig.'
