M'nong fairy tale: The story of bon Ktah


Every day, she chased birds, weaved cloth, and her singing kept humming along with the stream. She didn't know that, there was a boy, the son of the Mud God here, who heard her beautiful voice and was looking for it. He stood next to a big tree nearby and listened to her every song and song. Every day he went there to listen to the song. Then one day, he went straight to the hut to meet the girl and ask to be acquainted. Although they only knew each other at first, but both of them felt close to each other for a long time, they could not be separated from each other. Every day, they made an appointment to meet each other on a small shack. Singing, stream sounds like a bridge connecting the shores of love and happiness of him and her that the wild birds here sing praises. Every time the girl came to the hut, she only knocked three times on the loom, and immediately the boy appeared from the swamp, walked up to talk to her. The two of them were used to each other, never leaving each other for a single day.

At that time, every young man in the village wanted to marry that girl who sang well, who was good at weaving brocade. But she doesn't like anyone, because in her heart there is no other place but the son of the Mud God and no one understands why she refuses all the boys in the bon. There is a person who notices that she loves her very much but doesn't know what to do. He also sneaked up on her to the field to peek at a girl and a certain guy sitting together lovingly. The boy expressed jealousy, became jealous, ran all the way back to bon, then went to the girl's house, making up a story with the girl's parents:

“Last night, I had a dream about something bad for your daughter. She was mauled by a large ghost while weaving in a shack. You have to take care of the gods, invite the teacher to come and offer the solution and don't let her go to the fields anymore.

When the girl's parents heard that, they were so scared, the next day they told her to stay at home, not to let her go to the fields anymore, and invited the shaman to come and relieve her. The girl couldn't go to the fields, couldn't meet her lover, so she couldn't eat or drink, withered and was born sick. Meanwhile, the man making up the story went to the girl's watchtower, and then knocked three times on the loom. The boy, the son of the Mud God, heard a familiar knock and thought he was his lover, so he appeared. He sneaked from behind, then took a knife and slashed at the Mud God's son, then he dragged the dead boy's body into the swamp. After finishing work, he calmly went home to eat and drink.

The next day, the girl hid from her parents and went to the shack to meet her lover. She knocked three times on the loom, but her lover did not appear. Knowing that something was wrong, the girl hugged her face and sobbed and returned home. She was sad and didn't need to eat, didn't need to drink, and fell sick every day worse.

Two months later, she became pregnant. Her parents questioned her, but she did not say who she was pregnant with. According to customary law, an unmarried girl who is pregnant has to go to a place far from the villagers to give birth. Her parents chased her out to a watchtower in the fields and gave birth to a child. She suffered from abdominal pain for seven days and seven nights, and then gave birth to a large bag, the wrapper bursting inside were countless large and small leeches crammed into the swamp. The frightened girl jumped into the swamp, and died there. The leeches proliferated into thousands, tens of thousands of leeches in the swarm in front of bon Bu Prang.

Because there were too many leeches, people changed the name bon Bu Prang to bon Ktah (bon lee), now in Quang Phu commune, Krong No district, Dak Nong province.
