The Sinhalese, the fool, the giant who eats cookies, but you have heard this

The Sinhalese, the fool, the giant who eats cookies, but you have heard this, but you did not know the related story, so here is the story ~The note of truth to the inquiry of intelligence~
It was the anti-Sinhalese Western invaders who called the Sinhalese a fool and a giant to eat. But the Sinhalese never ate food for stupidity, even in an invasion war, he carried a bag of food in addition to weapons. The food bag was very useful for the shortage of food in a fierce battle. A person who has been fasting for several days and has lost his strength, the strength that comes from a cake is very great. Also, the Sinhalese knew very well that the wounds caused by war can be cured by keeping the cakes in a short time.

A few-day-old cantaloupe has the divine ability to heal any wound. It was the custom of the Sinhalese to carry a bag of sweets tied in a knot even in Siripa Keravedi. But it is not for stupidity. It is not easy to carry enough food while climbing the mountains by very difficult roads as there were no road facilities like today. Even if cooked food is taken, it spoils very quickly. As well as solving all these problems with the bag, there was another very useful thing. It was very easy to keep the body straight while carrying the bag tied on the shoulder.
The white man, who did not know the truth of any of this, said that the Sinhalese was eating food for stupidity. In an era where the quality of food was not predicted by scientific and physical devices like today, they knew about the quality of food better than today because of their knowledge. They were prepared for the future conditions and floods, knowing well. Sesame, millet, kurakkan, corn, paddy were stored for at least one year or two. Today our only staple food is rice, but in the past there were many alternative foods for the Sinhalese. Jackfruit, kurakkan, cowpea, green beans were their daily food. From the signs seen in the environment, they understood the weather well.
They knew that woodpeckers build their nests at the very bottom of a tree, that it rains very little in the coming rainy season, that building their nests in the middle of the tree will get normal rain, and that building their nests at the top or the top of the tree is good for getting heavy rains. They also concluded that laying eggs close to the water in the Kiralaku lake bed will result in less rain, laying eggs between the upper part of the lake bed and the paddy field will result in equal rain, and laying eggs in the paddy bed will result in less rain and a drought.
It was known that if the fruit of the divul tree is larger than usual, there will be a drought in the future, and that the increase of the mango tree will result in heavy rains and also that the amount of fruit of the mango tree will decrease and if the distance between the tree and the fruit is increased by just one foot, the rain will decrease, and the mango tree will be completely They also knew that if it was filled with red leaves, rain would come within two to three weeks after the end of the drought.
If a kirala walks close to the ground and screams at night, it means that a small animal such as an elephant, an ox, a dog is moving, if the kirala screams high up to the treetops, it means a human is walking, and if the kirala screams high up in the sky, it means an elephant is moving. The old man knew.
They did not cut down the bee trees because the brackish water and salt water in the paddy fields are absorbed by the bee trees. Also, the droppings of the bats on the bee tree were a good fertilizer. The insects that came to the nearby ma dang tree eliminated the insect damage in the paddy. So they sent and protected it. They also knew well the time to sow. Also, they had very successful food storage methods. Is it not our duty to preserve this wealth of knowledge and pass it on to future generations?
