Description:Translation (Htoi San) I am telling the story about the young male spirit and a female human. A long time ago, there was a family which had a mother and a daughter only. They only lived by themselves. They cleared paddy fields for their living. They both did not know anything in addition to how to scrape the field. So they only cut the paddy field. They went to cut the crops. The field was in the jungle, and the Male spirit came to them. The male spirit and the daughter became close friends. They helped each other where they needed. They assisted each other when one is required. After that, they fell in love with each other. The spirit boy came and emptied the farm as much as possible. Human eyes could not see the spirit boy. Only the daughter could see him helping to clear the farm. But they were two together, and they scraped all the fields until they were empty. After they swiddened the areas, they burnt the plants which they cut. At that time, the spirit boy told like this, "My love, if you always want to get the connection with me, Don't plant chili, ginger, and Gaibyep (another type of ginger). You can plant all the rest. So don't plant only these two." "You and I can still be together forever." Then she prepared the field for sowing. Her mother did not know about it. So the mother planted chili and ginger at first after burning the area. Therefore, the spirit boy and the young lady were being apart. That's why human beings always start planting chili and Gaibyep ginger before we begin anything to produce. That's why humans and spirits are never together again.
