1. Translation
Nvji Mountain is a place where magpies build their nests. There was a tiger in the bushes, and magpies gathered in a group and shouted at it. When the parrots heard it, they also gathered together and shouted at the tiger. The jackdaw saw it and asked the magpie: "Tiger is an animal that walks on the ground. What does it have to do with you?" The magpie replied: "It roars to create wind. We are afraid that the wind will knock our nest off the tree, so we yell to drive it away." Then asked about the parrot, the parrot was speechless. The jackdaw laughed and said: "The magpie's nest is on the treetop and is afraid of the wind, so it is afraid of tigers; you live in a tree hole, why are you still screaming?"
