The story that I am going to tell now is about a very scared man. He was an extremely scared man but one day, his wife said to the scared man that "Let's go to the land of Mayu (the place where the parents of the wife live)." When the wife said to her husband, he thought to herself that "Since the father of the children, my husband is a very scared man, if we meet any wild animal such as tiger or bear, unless I scold the animal, my husband will run away and leave me." So, she said that "Husband, go and sharpen my sword. Also, sharpen your sword." So, before they went to the Land of Mayu, the scared husband was asked to sharpen the swords and then, they went to the land of Mayu. When they were going to the land of Mayu with the sharp swords that were sharpened by the husband, on the way of their journey, a bear suddenly appeared in front of them so the husband ran away as he was very scared. So, the wife immediately removed her basket and put on the head of the bear, and slashed the bear again and again to death with the sword that was sharpened by her husband. After she killed the bear, the wife called her husband that "Husband, I have already slashed and killed the bear. Come to me." "Impossible, how can you kill the bear? I am scary," the husband said and did not come back to his wife. So, the wife cut the two ears of the bear and showed her husband that "Look at here. I have got the bear. No need to be afraid anymore. Come down to me." So, the husband came down from the tree and saw the dead bear. "Let's figure out this," the wife said and they took out bile and meat from the bear. And, the wife said again that "OK, let's continue to go to the land of Mayu." The husband then said that "I don't want to go anymore. Let's go home." "Why?" the wife asked. "You will tell in the land of Mayu that when we met the bear, I ran away and you killed the bear. I am ashamed so I don't want to follow anymore," the husband said. The wife said that "No, no. I won't tell others so. I will tell others that you killed the bear. I am a woman and my husband is very brave and very strong. My husband slashed the bear. I will tell like that." "Are you sure?" the husband said. "Sure, I will tell so," the wife said so they continued their journey and got to the land of Mayu. Then, the wife said in the land of Mayu that "My husband is very strong. Look at here. He killed a bear," and she took out the bear's bale and meat from her basket. So, the people said that "Ah.... you are right! The man is very brave as he even could slash the bear." At that time, there was a wild boar that used to eat the rice on a farm. So, the people said to the scared man that "Brother-in-law, you even could slash the bear. You also should be able to pierce the wild boar with that spear. Please kill the wild boar for us." The man said that "OK." But, he was a very scared man so he went to the farm and was sitting on a beam of the farm hut. He was also holding the spear like this and the wild boar was coming when the moon was going down and it was slightly getting dark. The wild boar was eating the rice. When the man heard it, he was extremely scared even his body was shaken so the beam that he was sitting on was broken. So, the wild boar was shocked and ran away and the wild boar was placed over the short woods and trees that were stacked when the farm was cleared. The wild boar was placed over the woods and also could not reach the ground. When the man saw the wild boar, he was very afraid in the beginning but he later understood that the wild boar was stuck on the wood. So, he pierced with the spear to death and removed the wild boar from the wood, and put it on the ground. Then, he said to the villagers that "Here, I have killed the wild boar." The villagers also said "Good," and they gave gifts to the man. The man also returned home. When they were living so, there was a village, and a tiger aggressively bothered in the village. So, the villagers said to the man that "Man, we heard that you pierced a very untamed wild boar and also slashed the bear. Please kill the tiger in our village. We will have your prizes that much." When the people called him, the man was very scared so he said that "No, I don't go." But, his wife said that "Husband, don't be afraid of. I will tell you how to do. I will give you the small bamboo strips." So, the wife split bamboo into strips and gave her husband. Then, she said that "What you should do is that there will be a big clump of bamboo on the edge of the village. You clear the bamboo for you to be able to stay inside of the clump of the bamboo. Then, stay inside the clump of the bamboo where the tiger cannot reach you. The tiger will try to reach you with its tail. You prepare well for the place that you will stay inside the clump of bamboo. Keep all the bamboo strips, the sword and the spear with you. Then, stay there. The tiger will try to reach you first with its hand but if the tiger could not reach you with its hand, the tiger will try to reach you with its tail. At that time, tie the tiger's tail in the bamboo with the bamboo strips again and again. After you strongly tie the tail, - the tiger's tail is sinew so it cannot be cut off. so don't be afraid - you go out from the clump of the bamboo and pierce the tiger with the spear." The man said that "OK," and he went and stayed inside the clump of the bamboo as his wife guided him. When the time was almost dawn, the tiger came slowly and the man was very scared. The tiger was trying to reach the man with his hand but could not. Since the tail of the tiger was longer than the hand, the tiger put his tail into the clump of the bamboo. Then, the man immediately took the tail of the tiger and tied it with bamboo. And, he also tied the tail again with the bamboo trips. So, although the tiger wanted to move, he could not move anymore because the tail was very strong. At that time, the man came out from the clump of the bamboo and pierced the tiger with his spear. But, the man untied all the bamboo trips because he worried that "If they see these bamboo trips, they will know how I caught the tiger." Then, he said to the villagers that "I have pierced the tiger." But, the villagers did not believe what he said that "It is impossible. How can he pierce the tiger? Also don't want to go and see it is true." But, some villagers said that "He said that he pierced the tiger. Let's go and see." So, when the people went to the clump of bamboo and they found that the tiger was pierced and dead. Thus, although the man was very scared, he followed what his wife suggested. The bear was killed by his wife but did as it was killed by the man. The wild boar was also stuck over the woods and was pierced and the man got the wild boar. The man was also very scared to catch the tiger but he got the tiger because he followed as his wife guided him. Since the villager promised to give a lot of gifts if he could kill the tiger, the man could bring a lot of gifts home. Since then, the man and his wife had lived happily and plentifully. This story is telling to obey each other. The husband listened to what his wife said and the wife also listened to what her husband said. Because they obeyed each other, in the family, they developed and got more prosperities. The story is ended here.
