Description:		Translation (Rita Seng Mai) They saw him take the rice into the house after pounding it. The chicken went into the house to eat rice because it saw people take rice inside. It asked the dog, "Where do they keep it?" It asked the dog. The dog might have seen people put rice into the pot, rinse it to cook, and place it on the fireplace. The chicken asked the dog, "Where do they place it?" Then it answered, "They place it on the fireplace." When chickens scratch the ash inside the house, it means they are searching for food. It is just like that. (It is just a short story.) One of the Duwa (chiefs) once told me what could happen to a couple after they heard mischievous words about each other. They were a couple who loved each other so much. They were told mischievous things about each other. The man went to the bride and said, "My niece, your husband-to-be is handsome, tall, and educated. He is hardworking. But his buttocks stick out." Then the bride thought that something was not right with her husband-to-be. She thought, "If he has that kind of problem, what should I do?" That person went to the groom and said something about the bride. He told the groom, "My friend, the girl you are going to marry is really good, hardworking, and beautiful. But she inherited a strange gene. She eats dried feces on the night of the new moon." Then the groom also began to think something was wrong with his bride. Eventually, on the night they discussed the wedding date, the bride felt disappointed and thought, "He said my husband's buttocks stick out. Let me check if it is true." She secretly touched her husband-to-be's buttocks. When the husband noticed she touched him, he thought, "Hmm, what my friend said is true. She truly eats dried feces." They split that night and didn't get married. This is why speaking mischievous words is scary.
