Translation (Gun Mai)
A long time ago, there was a couple in a village. The husband always followed what his wife said. If the wife said to do something, the husband just did as his wife instructed. One day, there was a funeral in a house. The husband went to the funeral house. People were crying a lot. But, the man entered the house and immediately laughed. "Haha.... haha," the man laughed so people said to the man that "Why are you laughing like that? People are sorrowing here. Get out!" "My wife said that it is good to laugh," answered the man. "Who said to laugh at the funeral," the people said and beat the man. The man returned home and said to his wife that "Wife, People are crying in the funeral house but I laughed so they beat me a lot. They said because I laughed." Then, "In such a funeral, you have to cry together with the family. You should cry a lot," said the wife. On the next day, a house caught fire. The man also got to the house that caught fire. When people were extremely busy with watering to put out the fire, the man was just crying loudly. When the man was crying loudly, the people said that "The people are busy with watering to extinguish the fire. Why you are just crying instead of helping to extinguish the fire." So, the people beat the man. So, he returned home and said to his wife again that "As you said, when I was crying loudly at a house that caught fire, the people beat me." The woman said that "In such a situation, you should take a water bucket quickly and help to put out the fire. It is not the place to cry." Then, he went to a place again. In that place, several women were warming up in a fire and forging knives. When the man saw the four women who were warming in the fire, he took a bucket of water and poured the water on the women. Thus, women got very angry and they stabbed the man with the forged knife so the man got hurt and returned home. He told his wife again that "The women beat me like that. Because they were warming in the fire, I poured them with the water." "In such a situation, you should not pour water. You should take a hammer and help to make the knives." The man noted again what his wife said and then, he saw that people were arguing. When he saw the people argued, he just remembered what his wife said. So, he took a hammer and helped in the beating. So, the people beat him back. He returned home and told his wife again. "Today also the people beat me back when I was helping to beat as you said," the husband said. "In such a situation, you should help to break them," said the wife. Then, the man went again to the place where people were fishing in a lake. People shared the fish and put their fish into a basket. When the man got there, he just took the basket of fish and put the fish back in the lake. The fishermen then got very angry and kicked him into the lake. It was because, without distinguishing himself, the man just used to follow what his wife said.
