"Hirondi Mudri" : Baigani oral stories

Pig and Leopard
A pig and a leopard were very good friends. The pig had seven children and the leopard had two. The leopard's children were big and the pig's were small.

Both the pig and the leopard had gone to the jungle in search of food. The children of both were playing in the house. While playing, they had a fight. The leopard's children threatened the pig's children - "Don't play with us or else we will drink your blood." The pig's children would get scared and become quiet. When the sow came home in the evening, the children told their mother - "Mother, the leopard's children said, we will drink your blood." The sow laughed and avoided it. She thought "It's a fight between children."

The next day morning the sow and the leopard again went to the jungle. Seeing the opportunity, the leopard's cub attacked the pig's cub. The pig's cub was dripping blood and the leopard's cub was drinking it. The pig's cub started crying "Keer Keer". When the sow returned in the evening, she got very angry seeing this. The leopard's cub left her and ran away.
The sow was angry.  She started to leave from there with her children. The leopard started to persuade her. He said, "Come back, come back! Oh my friend! Does anyone get so upset when children fight?"

The sow said angrily, "I will not return now." And she went away with her children making sounds like 'Doh Dooh'!

It is a long story. If you understand it, it is yours, if you don't understand it, it is ours.
