ဗၜေအ်၊ ကၠဵု ကဵု ဂၠဴ ညးပိဏအ်ဂှ် ဒှ်ရဲဆာန်ရ။ ဒးကာလမွဲတ္ၚဲ ဍေဟ်တအ် တိတ်တရဴ နကဵု တက္ကသဳ။

Goat, Dog, and Cow were great friends. One day they went on a journey in a taxi.


ကာလ ဍေဟ်တအ် မစိုပ်ဒၞာဲ ဍေဟ်တအ် မအာဂှ်၊ သၟာတက္ကသဳဂှ် အာတ်ၚုဟ်တုဲ ဂၠဴဂှ် ကဵုၚုဟ်တက္ကသဳ အရင်ညးတေအ်။

When they reached the end of their journey, the driver asked them to pay their fares. Cow paid her fare.


ကၠဵုဂှ် ကဵုၚုဟ်အရင်ညးတေအ်၊ ဟိုတ်နူ လှုဲပြးပြး ဟွံမဲတုဲ ညးတေအ် ကဵုဂၠိုင်ဒၟံင်ညိ။

Dog paid a bit extra, because he did not have the correct money.


အဃော သၟာတက္ကသဳ မကလေင်အာန်သြန်ဂှ် ဗၜေအ်ဂှ် ဒြေပ်အာ သီုဟွံဂွံကဵု ၚုဟ်တက္ကသဳ အရင်ဇကုရ။

The driver was about to give Dog his change when Goat ran away without paying anything.


သၟာတက္ကသဳဂှ် ထေဲတုဲ သီုဟွံကလေင်ကဵု သြန်အာန် ကုကၠဵုတုဲ ဒဳတိတ်အာရ။

The driver was very annoyed. He drove away without giving Dog his change.


ဟိုတ်ဂှ်ရ၊ စဵုကဵုတ္ၚဲဏအ်၊ ကၠဵုတှေ် ဆဵု ကွဳစက်တှ်ေ ဒြေပ်ဗက်ဒၟံင် ရံင်မၞိဟ် ပ္ဍဲကွဳစက်၊ ဗက်ဂၠာဲ မၞိဟ်မဒးကလေင်လေဲလှုဲ ကဵုဍေဟ်။

That is why, even today, Dog runs towards a car to peep inside and find the driver who owes him his change.


ဗၜေအ်ဂှ်တှ်ေ မိင်ရမ္သာင် ကွဳစက်မ္ဂး ဒြေပ်ပါဲသ္ၚောဲသ္ၚောဲ။ ဍေဟ် ဖေက်ဒးဒုင်ရပ် ဟိုတ်နူကဵု ဟွံကဵုလဝ် ခရိတ်တက္ကသဳ။

Goat runs away from the sound of a car. She is afraid she will be arrested for not paying her fare.


တုဲပၠန် ဂၠဴဂှ် ကွဳစက်ကၠုင်လေဝ် မုဟွံချဳ။ ဍေဟ်တတ်ဂၠံင်လေဝ် တတ်ၜိုဟ်ဟ် ဟွံပကာ။ မူဟိုတ်ရောမ္ဂး ဂၠဴဂှ် ဍေဟ်တီဒၟံင်၊ ဍေဟ် ကဵုလဝ် ၚုဟ်အရင်ဍေဟ် ပေင်င် တုဲဒၟံင်ရတှေ်။

And Cow is not bothered when a car is coming. Cow takes her time crossing the road because she knows she paid her fare in full.
