(English Summary) Once upon a time, a Dove (Edomcha) and a Parrot (Nabi) decided to have a competition to see who was more patient and self-controlled. Edomcha mahoigi khudinglakpa warini
The Dove was known for its endurance, while the Parrot was loud and impatient. They agreed to sit quietly and see who could remain silent the longest. However, the Parrot, unable to control its urge to speak, started making "Kuru-Kuru" sounds. The Dove, wanting to prove its superiority, started laughing loudly at the Parrot's failure.
In the end, the Dove lost its patience by laughing and mocking the Parrot. The lesson? Patience is quiet. Those who are truly patient do not need to announce it or mock others. True virtue is silent.
Moral: Hatpa nungshitnaba oina thouram nhapsi yengnaba ngamdaba ni. (True patience does not mock others).
