Translation (Htoi San) This story is about a couple who taught each other with wisdom. A long time ago, a wife in the family cooked mushroom curry. She did not give her husband, and she ate all by herself. After that, she told her children, "The name of the curry from this morning is 'Masi Masai father cannot eat' (rhyming words)." "Men do not eat this 'Masi Masai' curry." Then she and her children ate it all. Later, her husband shot a wild monkey, but he did not say words like, "You didn't feed me with mushroom curry." Instead, he said wisely, "My wife and my child, the name of the curry from this morning is 'Sharaw Shara mother doesn't eat' (rhyming words)." "So I will not give you two to eat." Afterward, he ate all the wild monkey meat by himself. He taught his wife wisely.
