Transcription of a retelling of Talu ki yoong rek thul a ktrpeek? (Why are monkeys' bottoms flat?), as written by Khumwar Suungnem during a writing workshop sponsored by the Summer Institute of Linguistics. A fable explaining how monkeys' bottoms came to be flat. Long ago an old married couple had a monkey troop living next to them. The monkeys would eat all the seed they sowed, so the couple planted yams, which they would not eat. When the yams were slow to grow, one of the monkeys told them they ought to boil the yam seeds first. While the couple were in the field to boil water, the monkeys entered their house. They chased away the monkeys, and one that got stuck had its bottom beaten flat by the old man.
