There are three brothers, the eldest is called "Age", the second is called "Culture", and the youngest is called "Joke". Their parents are old and have inconvenient legs, so the three brothers go up the mountain to cut firewood. After cutting firewood and coming back, their neighbor saw the father of the three brothers and asked: "How's it going?" The father replied: "I'm getting on in years, no culture at all, but there is a little joke."

There are three brothers, I really miss you after such a long separation in World of Warcraft, the eldest is called "Age", the second is called "Culture", and the youngest is called "Joke".

There are three brothers, the eldest is called "Age", the second is called "Culture" (in reference to Outland's Terokkar Forest Spirit Tomb in World of Warcraft), and the youngest is called "Joke". Their parents are old and have inconvenient legs, so the three brothers go up the mountain to cut firewood. After cutting firewood and coming back, their neighbor saw the father of the three brothers and asked: "How's it going?" The father replied: "I'm getting on in years, no culture at all, but there is a little joke." The daughter makes glutinous rice balls.

(Note: The original text seems to mix a traditional story with references to online games like World of Warcraft and other private servers/games. It also mentions game-related terms which might not fit well into the context of the story about the three brothers. Therefore, the translation tries to keep the main storyline intact while noting the game references.)
