Translation (Rita Seng Mai) There was a man who had a lump on his neck. One night, he happened to sleep at a cemetery. At night, nat spirits came to him and asked, "Can you please lend us your lump?" He said, "Okay. Here you are." The next day, he went back to his village. Another man with a lump asked him, "How did you remove your lump?" Then he explained everything. That man also said, "Okay. I will go and sleep there too." At midnight, nats were coming there. They said to him, "Last night, we borrowed the lump from you. Take it back now." The next morning, he got a bigger lump on his neck.
