Title Hkrungran poi (Skirt hole) with English translation
Description Translation (Gun Mai)
The number four story is also the same with it. A daughter married to a foreign country where it was very far from her father and mother. So, the daughter said to her parents that "Father and mother, now I have married to the place where it is very far from you two. There is no any people and relative who will remind and teach me. Even if my trouser and skirt have a hole without I notice, people will laugh at me. People will just laugh at me if my shirt and skirt have holes. There is no one to remind and inform me." Then, what the parents of the girl said was that "Daughter, a friend is a fresh wind. No one needs to tell you even if your shirt and skirt have holes. The wind will remind you." That's why we people - for example, if my trouser has a hole, I will feel cold at the hole because of the wind. It is a history story. It is number four.
