Once upon a time, a piece of fat and a Dhobi bird became intimate friends. Two friends planned to cultivate together, build a house, marry rich girls, and settle the household for each of them. They were successful in getting bulls to plough the field. Then, they used to go to plough the field, and the other one had to prepare food and bring it to the field, and they ate together. The piece of fat was used to melt in the hot pan and cook curry in the fat. It used to be delicious. Dhobi bird, on the other hand, is used in shite to cook vegetables. Dhobi Bird used to make foods that smelled like shite.

One day, Dhobi Bird put the yoke on his shoulder and pretended to leave for the field with bulls. He leaves the house, but he hides and shows his eyes how the piece of fat cooked so deliciously. The fat first cooks the rice and prepares the vegetable before jumping on the hot pan and melting some fat and cooking the vegetable in the fat.It was such delicious food.

The next day, the Dhobi bird decided to cook rice. The piece of fat goes to the field to be plowed. Then Dhobi Birt would cook the rice first as his friend did yesterday, then prepare vegetables, heat the pan, and then jump on the hot pan like the piece of fat had done. The Dhobi bird fried and became dark in the hot pan.

The piece of fat starving to death from hunger.Looking at the friend's way, but the friend doesn't bring rice, it was unbearable, so the fat came to the house to find out what was going on.When the fat piece returned home, he discovered that his friend had been fried on the pan.What the hell happened, Oppa?Then he took out the fried Dhobi bird and wrapped it in a banana leaf.

The piece of the fatwas then suffering in search of the shaman to care for his friend, and on the way, he came across Kalchuda bird.Kalchuda asked the fat piece, "Where are you going?" The piece of fat also told everything. Kalchude said, "I am a shaman; I will see your friend's fortunetelling, then I will take care of your friend." Oh, it's my good fortune, like getting god to look for a stone and then the piece of fat bringing Kalchude shaman into his house to care for his friend.

The fat piece serves the homemade beer to Kalchude and presents his friend on the banana leaf, which is placed in front of Kalchude. Kalchude used to sip beer while biting a piece of fried Dhobi bird. The piece of fat is looking at Kalchude and keeping quiet in his mind that Kalchude is also looking at the fortunetelling for his friend. When Kalchude finished the drink and the fried Dhobi bird, he asked for the patient.

The insane piece of fat,"Oh, God... what are you talking about? The Dhobi bird that was burned on the banana leaf was my friend, and I already told you the whole story.""Oh, you poor piece of fat!" You must inform me clearly beforehand; I ate that thinking it was a snack for the drink.You made me feel guilty, Oppa; oh, God, forgive me, and forgive me, poor piece of fat."I have to leave now to see you."
