Description
This oral narrative was collected by the students exploring the word concept - belief.
The seventy-two year old father of the fried-fish seller told us the following story related with the establishment of the U Pein bridge:
"I left the monastery long time ago but I remember what I learnt about the history of the U Pein bridge"

Translation
U Pein Bridge was established in 1213 (Myanmar Era)
The smell of water in Innwa Town is bad and the taste is salty but the taste of the taungthaman lake is very sweet and drinking it is safe.
A place where toddy palms are plenty of there was chosen (to establish a new palace, Amarapura).
" The king, Bodaw Phaya wanted to move away from Innwa also because he wanted to move away from the shadow of the thirty-three kings who had ruled there."
