Translation (Htoi San) Once upon a time, a man worked in a cornfield for his living. When it was time to reap corn, a troupe of monkeys ate them all. So he could not reap every year. This year, he did well in his cornfield. One day, he went to his corn field and brought zyme, which he had made. He put the zyme in a bamboo container and placed it in a farmhouse. Then he left for the cornfield. After he worked and returned to the hut, he felt tired and thought, "I am going to eat zyme," but nothing was left. He saw monkeys stagger. So he got an idea. The next day, he brought the zyme in a big pot. Then he placed the pot in the farmhouse and thought, "I will peep monkeys what they are doing today. How do they all eat?" After that, he watched it silently. They only ate the zyme from the pot as soon as the monkeys arrived. They ate and ate the zyme, were drunk, and then died from overeating. After all the monkeys died, the man sold their meat and everything from the monkeys. In the end, he became very rich after selling.
