Translation (Htoi Awng) I am going to tell about a woman who was scared by Nat spirits. Long time ago, there was a woman whose husband was sick. It was very difficult for her. So, she thought to sell the rice to cure her husband. At that night after she had sold the rice, she and her friends couldn't get to their homes since it was getting dark. They had to find a place to rest. Then, they heard the noises like a heavy storm coming or the group of elephants coming to fight them. They were frightened and prayed the whole night without sleeping. The next day, they prayed before they left. On their way back home, there was nothing. Even the leaves didn't fall on the ground. Then, she noticed that Nat spirits haunted them last night. Then, she went back home happily with her friends and successfully reached home.
