Description:Translation (Htoi San) This story happened in a village not long ago in Kachin State. Now there are many people at that place, but there were not many people when the story took place. That place was a graveyard, but now there is a village at that place. Many people stayed there, so the happening seemed like a story, but it happened in real life. Indians sold meat in this place which was a marketplace. The Indians sold meat every morning as the market was in their village. They did not need to come to the market and could sell meat every morning. One morning, when the two brothers were selling meat, two beautiful girls came to them in the early morning. The two pretty girls came and bought meat from them early in the morning when the light could not see clearly. Only people near their place came and bought from them before. However, the two girls, who had not seen them before, purchased from the two boys. Therefore the boys were amazed. The two girls came at dawn and bought meat, so the boys thought, "Aww, they just came to buy," and they sold meat to the two girls. The boys took money from the girls and put it into the box. Then they continued selling meat when the light was clearer and other people came to the market. The boys kept the money, which the girls gave them, in the box as they thought it was cash. At that time, the two girls went back from shopping. When the light rose, other people came to buy meat from them. When they needed to give the change, they opened the box to take out the money the girls gave them in the early morning. They found out the money was not cash but a bone instead. They were shocked and scared, "What is going on?" But they thought carefully and considered what older people said. Their marketplace was a graveyard before. Therefore the evils, spirits, and whatever from the graveyard, pretended as girls and came to buy meat. The money they gave was not money, it was the bone. From that time onwards, the boys never went to sell things when the light was clear enough. They were so scared. Even though many more people stay in that place, people still talk about it today.
