Description of manuscript content:

Once upon a time, a farmer couple was living in the forest. One day, a monk came and stayed with them. The couple wanted to offer food to the monk. At night they talked to each other, we had to kill our hen. At the time, the hen had six chickens. When the hen heard their talk, then she talked to her chickens that you have to take care of yourselves; I will be killed in the coming morning. While the hen was in fire, the six chickens together jumped into the fire. By their sacrifice and loyalty, after death, they were born as the six stars in the sky called “Dāo Kainòi, the stars of the six little chickens”.
