Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Many years ago, a banana plant and a wild cherry grew together. The banana plant and the wild cherry talked to each other. The wild cherry told, "My friend banana plant, when we bear fruits, let our fruits be sour ("hkri"), ok?" But that banana plant had a bad ear, so it misheard it as, "Let's die ("si") when we bear fruits, ok?" Today, fruits of the wild cherry are sour and banana plants died after they bear fruits.
