Description:		Translation (Seng Pan) I am going to tell you about why we still find some grass seeds in rice. A long time ago, people cultivated rice in the shifting fields. And the fields were in the deep forests. At that time, the jungle spirits called Jahtung Nats, ruled the forests. There was a shifting field in a forest. A family planted paddy there. Every day, they went there and cleared the weed. When the paddy began to sprout, they did weeding hard in order not to be mixed the grass seeds with the rice. Every day, they went back home after weeding. However, the next morning, the grass grew as usual. They assumed that one of them didn't clear the grass well. On that day, they made sure they cleaned all the grass in the paddy field. They kept clearing their field for about a week. But the grass grew in the next morning. So, they wondered the neighbors planted the grass in their field. They doubted them. They thought their neighbors were jealous of them and planted the grass at night. So, the family planned to sleep in the field and inspected who did it. At night, they peeked carefully from behind a bush by holding knives. At midnight, Jahtung Nat, the jungle spirits, came out from the forest by playing the instruments. But the family couldn't see their faces clearly. They kept quiet and watched what the spirits were going to do. Soon, the jungle spirits started playing music and sang, "Weeds wake up and grow! Golden paddy stays low and sleeps!" They made the weeds in the field grow. The family terribly drove them out of their field. From that night on, the jungle spirits didn't come to the field anymore. However, there left at least a grass seed, although the family tried hard to remove the seeds from the rice. Therefore, people always have to weed in their paddy fields. In the shifting fields, people just spread the rice seeds in the field, and they don't clear the weed so much. However, there are some grass seeds in the rice, although the people clear all the weeds before planting the paddy. Because of Jahtung Nat, the jungle spirits, people still find grass seeds in their rice regardless of how hard they clean the weed.
