There lived a peasant in a village, and he had a wife who was a useless cook.
One day a relative came to visit them, and the hospitable husband told her to prepare a tastier treat. The wife tried her best, but it didn’t work out - the tan-nyu leaves boiled and turned into porridge. The husband was angry with his wife and did not want the guest to leave quickly - he wanted to give her a thrashing.
[Ta-nyu is an edible plant.]
And the wife, not understanding the reason for his anger, said:
- Why are you seeing your guest off so early? Not all the treats have been eaten yet.
