Title Mahkri a lam (The pickled bamboo shoots) with English translation
Description Translation (Htoi San)
The story is about pickled mustard leaves. Once upon a time, a lady made pickled mustard leaves, which were so delicious. Therefore, people asked her, "Hey, elder sister, your pickled mustard is so yummy." "My children like it so much." And the next day, they came and asked, "Hey, my friend, my husband said the pickled mustard you made was so delicious." "Please make it for him." They requested. The following day, "Hey, my younger sister, Your pickled mustard was so tasty. My children said your pickled mustard was delicious." "So, please make it for them." They asked her again. The other day, they said, "My elder sister, the pickles you made were so yummy. My children said it was so tasty and loved it a lot." The next day, they came and said, "Hey, my friend. Please make pickled mustard. All my family likes to eat your pickled mustard, which is so delicious." After that, they said again, "Hi, my elder sister, please make it today again. Just a cup will do." "My family members and my descendants said my one was not delicious, but they only like to eat your one." The next day, they came again, "Hey, my daughter-in-law, please make it for me." "Your pickled mustard was delicious, but my one is not." "My descendants love to eat your pickles. Please do it for us." The following day, they asked again, "Hello, my daughter-in-law, please make pickled mustard for us again. Yours is so tasty." "Everybody likes it a lot." "Please make it again." The other day, they came and requested again, "Hey, my younger sister, my husband only likes to eat your pickled mustard. Please make it for him." And the next day, they came and said, "Hi, my elder sister, my husband also likes your pickled mustard." The lady replied, "Hey, I am not very free now. From now on, I will not make any pickled mustard. I will be a Maring tribe; when I make pickled mustard, it will not be sour and delicious." "I will leave that from today onwards." Here is the end.
