A long time ago, there was a widow and her daughter. One day, the daughter was severely sick. Their mother and daughter were so poor. They were penniless pitifully. The mother went to an older man from nearby their house as she was sick of poverty. The mother was tired of curing her daughter in many ways as her daughter was not getting better. The mother tried many ways to heal her daughter, but there was no hope for her daughter to improve. So she went to the older man who lived in a farmhouse. She asked the elderly man, "Hello, Grandpa. My daughter is very sick and is in such a difficult situation. She is always sick and sick and is not getting well even though I try many ways." The older man replied, "If you want your daughter to get better, you go to the mountain over there." "The mountain is so scary and very high, and it is so far from here. In that mountain, many frightening things are there too." "You go and take medicine from that mountain." "You pluck the creeper medicine, which is mountain medicine," said the older man. "If the medicine can make my child better, I will do it," responded the mother. There was a relative boy who lived near them. "My boy, if you follow what I say, I will let my daughter marry you," the mother told the boy. The boy agreed with the mother, "Yes, sure. If I can get your daughter, I will do whatever you say. I will follow what you say." "Please go get the medicine from the mountain over there, as the older man said," the mother requested the boy. The boy replied, "If so, I'll go and get it." Then he left for the mountain. The boy went up to the mountain, and the higher he went, the more goosebumps he felt. When he reached the medicine tree, a spirit tiger stopped him and asked, "Why are you climbing up this conspicuous mountain? It is also far from your place. Why are you coming up? What do you want to look for?" The spirit tiger continued, "I will kill you. I will definitely eat you. You come up here to be my food." "Please don't eat me yet. I climb up here to get medicine for a very sick person to save her life," said the boy. "Therefore, please don't eat me yet. I will go and give the medicine first, then I will come back," the boy promised the spirit tiger. The boy said, "When I come back, you can eat me for sure." After that, he plucked the medicine and gave it to the mother. But he did not tell what had happened to him to the mother and the daughter. He did not tell them that he needed to go back to the mountain, but he told them, "I need to go out just for a while." He passed the medicine to them and returned to the hill as promised by the spirit tiger. "Alright, I am here as I promised you before. Now you can eat me," said the boy. "Child, you are such a promise keeper. I don't dare to eat you. You go back home happily," the spirit tiger told the boy and let him go home. The boy went back, and they all lived joyfully after they cured the daughter's sickness.
