Title Kasha ni a majaw si mat ai kawa a lam (The father who hid fish) with English translation
Description Translation (Htoi San)
The story I am telling now is about an immature father, and his children talked back, so he was ashamed. As a result, he went into the jungle and died. A long time ago, a man had nine sons. When he got fish from fishing, he did not get much to feed all his children. So he did not give it to his son, and he hid and ate by himself. One day, he did not want to share the fish he brought to his many children. So he hid it in the bush and consumed it alone. When his children were growing up, they cleared the dry paddy farm near their father's secret eating place. Then the children said, "Father, the farm over there is the one you eat the fish secretly, isn't it?" As the children were old enough, he was so bashful. So he went into the forest and wandered around and died there.
