There lived in the same village a palm sap collector and his wife. When the sap collector, drunk, returned home, he would always beat his wife for no reason.
Compassionate fellow villagers pitied the wife and condemned her husband. And when her husband died, they rejoiced at her deliverance. However, as evening approached, the woman was overcome by sadness.
“It was at that time that he beat me,” she said through tears.
And one day, looking at a coconut tree, I was completely upset:
- Oh! How my dear husband loved fresh juice! At that moment, a ripe fruit fell from the branch and hit her painfully on the back.
- Mommy dear! - she exclaimed. - How nice it is! This slap is exactly like the blow of a deceased person.
Ngapi is a national dish of the Burmese, prepared from fish, onions, and spices.
