Translation (Gun Mai) Another story is that we all, including you, are - a human body means - humans are, how to say - let's say if you and me, the hand said that "I am more tired because I work more than others." The hand said that he was tired more. But, the foot said that "It is not true. I am more tired." So, the eyes also said that "Why? It is not true. You two, the hand and the foot are not tired because you can work as I see for you. I am more tired." Then, the ears also said that "If you don't hear anything, it is useless no matter how much you work. I am more worth." The nose also then said that "What you all said is not true. If there is no nose, you cannot distinguish what to eat and what to not eat." And so, the parts of the body were arguing with each other so. What happened finally was that the mouth, the thing that did nothing, said that "I am tired more." The mouth was just eating the food that was made by the foot, the hand, and the eyes. What he did was only eating comfortably. The mouth said that "I am tired more." What this story that was told by our ancestors meant is that today, among humans, some people work hard a lot. However, either in the government or among the politicians, some people just want to eat or get without doing anything. The general public at the grassroots level who truly works is still very poor. The ancestors told us this story to compare with such a situation.
