Translation: Rats like to eat food at night. There was a Vietnamese man who put grain into a container with a big belly and a small mouth, and let the mice eat it without caring about it. The mouse called to his friends to jump into the mile, and they would not go back until they had a full meal. At the end of the month, there was not much food left, and the owner was very worried. Someone told him a way, so he emptied the food in the container, replaced it with water, and then covered it with a layer of chaff floating on the water. At night, the mice came again and jumped in happily, only to be drowned.

Original text: Rats like to steal millet at night. The people of Yue placed millet in piles, and the rats gnawed at them, calling all kinds of animals into the place. After more than a month, the grain is gone and the owner suffers from it. When people teach you how to do it, you can change millet with water and float chaff on water. That night, the rats came back and called again, but they drowned to death.
