Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Now, I'm going to tell you about a dragon took a man named La Lung in the Danai River. When he crossed the Danai River by boat, the dragon took him. The villagers were upset. So they escorted the deity of thunder and offered a white buffalo as an offering. Soon, at the plain named Nsen Hka which is near the Danai River confluence, the dragon was hit by thunder. In the past, Nat spirits were powerful. We should give offerings to Nats. In the past, we used to give offerings to nats. This incident had truly happened in the past. People who witnessed it told me. And I am passing it on to you as knowledge. I just want to tell you, "We should know anything. We should gain knowledge by learning about past events."
