Description: Translation (Htoi San) I am telling a story about a man and twins. A long time ago, a mature man traveled around the world. One night, it was getting dark, and he could not find a place to sleep. He reached a graveyard and thought, "I am scared to sleep at the spirit altar, so I will request to sleep at a graveyard." When he got to a grave and said, "The possessor, please let me stay in your place as a shelter for tonight." Then he rested and slept there. When it was near dawn, the spirits in that graveyard spread out and said, "Hey, there is a twin in the village." The spirits came to the grave where the human visited and told, "My friend, the village has a twin. Let's go naming the twin there." The grave possessor responded, "You go ahead as I have a guest at my place. You just name them and come back and tell me what you have named." Then all the other spirits left him and went to the village. The spirits saw the twin when they entered the house where the people had twin babies. The spirits found out the twins were two babies; one was a boy and another a girl. Then the spirits named the boy, "when he is the age of hunting, let the tiger eat him." As the mountainous people husked paddy by pounding and at the spirit worshiping in ancient times, people tied cattle horns at the bending post. The spirits named the girl, "When she is the age of knowing how to pound the paddy, let the cattle's horn fall down accidentally from where it is tied as it is prodding on her head." The cattle's horn dropped and thrusted on her head, and she died as the cow butted her as the spirits named her. The father brought a tiger after he came back from hunting, and he put it in front of their house. He aimed for his son not to be eaten by the tiger, so he called many people and let him jump over the tiger seven times. He wanted to erase his son's name "The son will be eaten by a tiger." The boy should have jumped over the tiger's body, but he hopped on its head, and his heel stepped in the tiger's mouth for the seventh time. As a result, he pierced his heel, and it happened as the spirit said. That's why human beings need to name their newborn child as fast as possible. The spirits came back to the graveyard and told the grave possessor. "We are back," the spirits said to the soul from the grave, and they continued, "How we named them were for the boy; when he grows up and knows how to hunt, let a tiger eat him." "And for the girl, when she knows how to pound the paddy, let a cattle butt and kill her." The mature man heard all the spirits talking, so he went down to the village and found a low hut where the twins were. He waited and watched them for a long time, and it happened exactly as the spirits said. The story ends here. Therefore for human beings, naming their newborn child is the first thing they must do.
