Grandfather To Cha lived in one village, who loved to have fun more than anything else in the world. His fellow villagers invited him to all celebrations, except weddings. And this is because at weddings it is customary to say only pleasant things, and To Cha liked to mention bad omens and tell all sorts of sad stories.
One day, the bride and groom - Maung Thu and Mi Phu - decided to invite To Cha to their wedding. He was instructed to congratulate the young on behalf of the old.
When his turn arrived, To Cha said:
– Hmm, hmm... I was told to say only good things today. That's exactly what I'll do. And if in the future Maung Thu and Mi Phu separate, they will have nothing to reproach me with - I will not say a single bad word.
