Description:Translation (Htoi San) A long time ago, two girls were humans. One day, they both went to a farm. One of the girls was gorgeous and famous. Even though she was so pretty, her behavior and living style was different from others. One day, she went to the farm with her friend, but it rained heavily, so they could not do anything and slept in a farmhouse. While waiting for the rain to stop, they slept in the farmhouse, but one girl did not wake up, although it was time to get up. Another girl had a full sleep and was tired of waiting for her friend to wake up, but her friend was still sleeping. She tried to wake her up, "Until how long is she going to sleep?" Her friend did not wake, so she sat and waited for her. She gave up on waking her, "Okay, you sleep," and let her sleep. After a long time, a thick hairy caterpillar ran fast into the sleeping girl from the heavy rain. Then it went into the sleeping girl's nose. As soon as it got into the girl's nose, she woke up and yawned, "Oh, I am indeed getting a full sleep now. I had a deep sleep today." Afterward, she woke up. As she said she had a full sleep as soon as the caterpillar went into her nose, the other girl was shocked, "A caterpillar went into your nose!" "What is going on? You woke up saying you got a full sleep when it went into your nose?" Subsequently, she asked the elderly people from her village. "Something happens like this because that girl is possessed by a witch spirit. Their spirit is like an animal, and they let it go out of their body." "Their spirit goes everywhere it likes and returns to their body, then the girl has fully slept. The spirit gets back to her body, and she has a full sleep." The whole village knew her friend was possessed by the witch spirit as the older people explained it to her. I have heard from older adults that this happened in ancient times.
