Description:		Translation (by Rita Seng Mai) This story is about how a married woman needed to be good, kind, clever and grateful. Many years ago, there lived a big family in a hamlet. There were many sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren in that family. One of the daughter-in-laws was so mean and unkind. Her mother-in-law suffered from poor eyesight as she was old. One day, the son of the old grandma caught a jungle fowl from the forest and let his wife cook to feed his mother. But his wife, unkind daughter-in-law, cooked quince fruits which were so sour instead of a jungle fowl. Then, she gave that to her old mother-in-law by saying that was a fowl curry. When her mother-in-law ate that curry at night, she couldn't eat because it was too sour. So, she wrapped and put it on the rack above the fireplace. The next day, she gave that curry to eat her granddaughter and said, "Take this and eat. This is the jungle fowl curry that your mother cooked for me. I couldn't eat it because it was too sour." Her granddaughter couldn't eat it too as it was sour, so she threw it away. Then, one day, when she and her father went to their farm, she saw that there was something in the trap. She asked her father, "Dad, what's that? What kind of bird is that? Isn't a kind of bird that you brought a few days ago?" Her father answered, "Yes, it is a jungle fowl." Then she said, "Ummm, a jungle fowl, a jungle fowl, you have really nice voice but your flesh is too sour." When her father heard that, he told his daughter,"Eee, my daughter, how could a fowl flesh be sour? It's not sour a bit." "No! Dad, it's too sour. Mom cooked it for grandma a few days ago. Grandma gave it to me as she couldn't eat. When I tasted it, it was really sour. So I threw away. Dad, don't catch that kind of bird anymore," told his daughter. Then they went back home. When they arrived home, the father asked his wife, "How did you cook a jungle fowl to be sour? Your daughter said that grandma gave it her to eat. When she ate that curry, it was too sour. So she couldn't finish it and throw away. How did you cook? Your daughter said that jungle fowl's voice was so nice but its flesh was sour. May be, you didn't cook properly and savory." Then, his wife replied, "No way, your daughter is lying. How can a fowl curry be sour!?" He was confused, so he told his daughter again, "Your mother said it was a jungle fowl curry and it wasn't sour." Then, his daughter replied, "No, dad. It was really sour. I just threw it over there. If dogs didn't eat yet, the curry would still be there. I will go and get it." And then she went there and picked it up. It was still there. She gave that quince curry to her father and told, "Here! This is the fowl curry I threw." Her father was so sad as soon as he saw the curry. Then, he apologized to his mother, "Mom, don't be upset. Your daughter-in-law was not good and clever enough! I know you might feel sad and unhappy. But don't hold a grudge, mom. Don't feel resentment toward her. Please forgive her. If you feel upset and sore, we can't get blessings. Please forgive her, mom." Then, his old mother said, "Of course, I forgive. You all will be filled with blessings. My sons and my grandchildren, I bless you all to have a healthy and happy long life. But my daughter-in-law serves her right. I forgive." A few years later, the old grandma died. When they were going to put her dead body into a coffin, they couldn't carry the corpse no matter how hard they tried. Then, that daughter-in-law came to touch the body if that would work. At that time, she remembered what she did to her mother-in-law and apologized by crying, "My mother-in-law, it might be my fault. Your dead body couldn't be moved a bit because of me. Please forgive me. I will do only good things from now on. I will be a good and respectful mother for your grandchildren. Please forgive me." After she had apologized, they could easily carry grandma's dead body. So, the elders said that women need to be kind, clever and good after they have got married and raised a family.
