KK1-0883 - Nau chye nau lai grau te n mai (The fact that wisdom has always no excess is the same to the fact that the Gibbon has no tail) with English translation

Full description

Translation (Gun Mai) It is also just a proverb. People have never excess in learning no matter how much learning. There is the only thing that hasn't been known yet. Learn again and again throughout the rest of life until dotage and wisdom is never ended. Wisdom is the thing that never ends and there is also no excess. There was a man who was university level educated and arrogant so he made a competition. He made the competition with elderly men. What they competed was making an oval basket that used to carry chickens, and the man lost. The university man lost in the competition. Thus, there is no excess in learning. Learning can be until the dotage. Gibbon is - what do you think how the Gibbon looks like? Have you seen it? Before we knew about the Gibbon, we said wrongly that it was the same as the Gibbon's tail. In fact, the Gibbon has no tail. That's why - it said that 'The fact that wisdom has always no excess is the same to the fact that the Gibbon has no tail. The ancestors said that knowing too much is the Gibbon's tail.
