Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) The story I am going to tell you is that we can't carelessly go to our family's tombs. Once upon a time, there was an old grandmother who had a daughter. Unfortunately, her daughter was dead. So, she buried her somewhere on the way to the field. She couldn't forget her daughter. She missed her too much. She wanted to feed her dead daughter whenever she cooked a delicious meal. So, she packed it and brought it to her daughter's tomb. When she came back from the field after working, she picked some vegetables and put them on the tomb. She said, "Eat this. Drink this, my beloved daughter." One day, she went to her daughter's tomb and cried, "I miss you so much. How can I live without you, my sweetie?" At that time, three porcupines came out from somewhere and bit her. They bit her clothes as well. That's why we shouldn't go to the tomb carelessly. There is another event like that too. There was an old woman who had a son and a daughter-in-law. Her son and daughter-in-law died because of an accident. She was really sorrowful. So, she went to the cemetery almost every day. One day after going there for almost a year, two giant snakes coiled on each tomb while flaring out their hoods and emitting hiss. As soon as she saw them, she turned back and ran away. The snakes chased her away and scared her. The dead are not related to humans anymore, so we can't go to the cemetery whenever we want. When Chinese people build a tomb, they check whether it is the right day to build it or not. They always check the dates before they build one. We need to follow some facts when we go to the cemetery. We mustn't look back when we come back from the cemetery. Our elders always remind us and tell us about it. This is the end.
