Translation (Gun Mai)
A long time ago, there was an old couple in a village. They were called Yaw Yaw and Gaw Gaw. One day, the old man was splitting bamboo into strips in the unfloored front of the house. There was a funeral in the village. Oh..sorry. It was a wedding event. For the wedding event, a bride was passing. When the bride was passing, the wife cooked food and prepared the food on the table. Then, she called her husband that "Husband, let's eat food." "Wait a moment, let me see the bride who is passing," the husband said and went to the outside of the compound to see the bride. The wife also said that "Let me also see," and she also went to see. They were enjoyed seeing the bride. They were engrossed to see. At that time, the dog ate the food that they left. When they backed, the food had left nothing. Because there was no more food, they asked each other who ate the food. The wife also said that "You ate the food, Right?" The husband also asked that "You ate the food, Right?" "I also did not eat," they answered. Then, when they looked at the plate, there was a fly on the plate. When they saw the fly, they said that "No one eats the food. This fly ate our food. Let's beat it." So, they took woods and beat the fly. The husband also beat and the wife also beat the fly so the fly flew away. The plates were just broken. At that time, the fly was sitting on the forehead of the wife. "Here, the fly is sitting on my forehead," said the wife. So, the husband said that "You won't be able to escape this time," so he took a bigger wood and beat it strongly on the forehead of the wife. But, the fly flew away and his wife was dead. Because he beat to death his wife, he was sorrowed. "My wife is dead," the husband was sorrowed and he wrapped the wife's dead body in the mat that he was making recently to bury. He carried the mat and went to bury but the dead body of his wife was left at the door. He just carried the mat alone. He just buried only the mat and returned home. When he got home, he saw the dead body of his wife at the door again. So, he said that "Oh...in this world, not only my wife is dead but also others wife is dead."
