Translation (Rita Seng Mai & Keita Kurabe)
The name of this story is "Why?" Once, a monkey went to a field and picked pumpkins there. When it was picking the pumpkin a mining bee, which is green and has a pointed sting, which is not a honey bee, a kind of bee, which makes the sound "ne ne ne" when it flies, it stung under the armpit of the monkey, which was picking a pumpkin. Thus, the pumpkin slipped out of the hands of the monkey. When the pumpkin slipped out, since the field was on the steep hill the pumpkin rolled down into the valley. When it rolled down, a hen, which was brooding there, got shock and cackled. The hen cackled and it woke a sleeping boar up all of a sudden. Then the boar struck a bamboo shoot with its snout. Because the boar struck a bamboo shoot, a piece of broken bamboo shoot dropped into the river. In the river, there were shrimps playing. There were shrimps playing, and they were terrified by the bamboo shoot. In the river, there were also white spirit ladies drawing water. One of the shrimps went into the white spirit lady's bamboo water bottle. After a shrimp went into the white spirit lady's bamboo water bottle, as the white spirit lady drunk the water from it, the shrimp got into her stomach. So, her belly got bigger day by day. She was also not pregnant. Even though she worshiped spirits, there was no difference. Therefore, her father decided to operate on her belly and to see what was inside. They found out a shrimp inside it. Now the "why" starts here. In that way, they asked the shrimp. "Shrimp, why are you in the stomach of my daughter?" The shrimp answered, "While I was playing with my friends in the river, a piece of broken bamboo shoot suddenly dropped into the lake, and I was startled and jumped into your daughter water bottle." Its answer seemed that bamboo shoot was the culprit. Hence, they asked the bamboo shoot. "Bamboo shoot, why did you dive into the lake?" "When I was getting taller and bigger joyfully, I was struck by a boar and fell into the water," the bamboo shoot replied. Now the boar was the culprit. Hence, the boar was questioned, "Boar, why did you do like that?" "While I was sleeping in the border of the field, the cackle of a brooding hen alarmed me, and all of a sudden, I got up and run. So, I hit the bamboo shoot and it was cracked," it explained. In that case, it looked the brooding hen was the reason. Afterwards, the brooding hen was asked the cause for its action. "Hen, why did you cackle?" The hen answered, "When it was brooding, I was hit by a rolling pumpkin, so I made a loud noise. Then the source of problem became the pumpkin. They asked the pumpkin. "Pumpkin, why did you roll down?" Then, the pumpkin answered, "While I was spreading my vines and roots, a monkey picked me. That's why!" So, it seemed the sinner was the monkey. So, they asked the monkey. "Monkey, why did you pick the pumpkin?" "Because I was hungry." "When I was picking it, a mining bee stung under my arm," the monkey responded. Finally, the mining bee is the culprit. "Why did you sting the monkey?" The mining bee didn't know what to answer. Therefore, it just buzzed, "Nen Nen Nen!" and flew into its ground nest. This is the end of the story. Even though this story is short, it indicates when the case is detected, the real culprit always tries to escape.
