Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell you now is about how the gar's nose became long. Why did the gar's snout become long? We know that the gar was a very handsome bachelor fish ages ago. One day, he fell in love with a maiden fish, Nile tilapia. He loved her so much. However, he didn't get her affection. The reason was this. When Nile tilapia asked him how he would find the food for her, he couldn't prove it. At the same time, another bachelor fish, Ophiocephalus striatus, also tried to get the Nile tilapia's love. Two bachelor fishes, Nile tilapia and Ophiocephalus striatus who loved the same maiden fish competed to get her love. The Ophiocephalus striatus went up to the land. He waited for a while to be swarmed by small white and ret ants. Then he jumped into the water again and let Nile tilapia eat those ants. In that way, he showed his love. Therefore, Nile tilapia chose him to marry. As the gar couldn't get hands on her, he was so sad and also embarrassed. So, he had been whistling after all. That's why we have known that the gar became a fish with a long nose. Since the Ophiocephalus striatus could prove his skill, he could get the Nile tilapia. However, the one who couldn't show his skill, the gar, was so sad and he just whistled all the time to relieve from pain. So we have seen that his nose became long at last.
