| The tiger and tigress went back to the jungle. Once they arrived home, they changed their figures to be human beings that still bore a resemblance to tigers.”I am feeling pain as if the baby is about to be delivered. Husband, I think it is not safe to give birth to our child here. I am afraid Ta Sorn will harm us here. We shall go back to live in the village. I am sure the villagers have not a clue that we are — tiger.” |

| Tevin didn’t know that his wife was actually a tigress. Very often Khema kept some meat she hunted to eat when Tevin was soundly asleep.One day she noticed her husband had a tiger hunting arrow as an inheritance from Ta Sorn. She thought “I must get rid of this evil thing before it has a chance to get rid of me!”(Thanks to Sok Soth for translation help) |
