" ...The Kitchen God knew he was on fire, but was too afraid to get out, so he was burnt to death. The wife realized that the Kitchen God died because of her fault, she immediately jumped right into the flame to suicide. The stephusband was also very surprised, witnessing his wife’s death, he also decided to jump into the fire and died as well..." 

Vietnamese people believe that these 3 gods are responsible for happiness and safety of the family. Annually, on the 23rd of December in the Lunar Calendar, we celebrate the Kitchen God day. People usually buy carb fishes, and release them to the river, because they believe that the Kitchen God would ride those fishes to the Jade Emperor Palace, and report about everything that happened in the whole year.

Enjoy the story, see you next time!
