Once upon a time, there was a childless couple. The wife was faithful and loved the husband passionately while

women had to come to another place. She then got married with a kind man, and they lived in harmony.
One afternoon when her husband had gone for hunting, a beggar came and asked for some food. The woman was
kind; she filled the poor beggar’s bag and recognized that the beggar was her former husband. The man also recognized
his wife then. She felt sorry for the man when hearing that from the day he dismissed her, he was deeply sad and
regretful. So he decided to go away to find her until he spent all money and became a beggar.
After being offered a big meal, the man was drunk so the woman had to drag him out and hid him in a stack
because it was time for her recent husband to come back from the forest.
After a while, there was a knock at the door, the hunter appeared with a deer on his back. He then happily asked
the woman to go to the market to prepare for the dinner. When the woman came back, she found that the stack of straw,
where the drunk former husband was sleeping, had been burned with a deer roasted. She cried painfully, and then jumped
into the fire. The hunter didn’t know what had happened and what to do but jumped into the fire to die beside his wife.
At that moment, God was in the heaven, he was moved by the story so he turned three of them into three parts of
the earthen tripod so that they could live side by side forever and conferred them with the title of Kitchen Gods to oversee
all the cooking of people. Every year, they all together came back to the heaven on the 23 rd of the 12th lunar month to
