What I am going to tell now is about people should not lie to call to sleep at the highland cultivation field. Once upon a time, there were two women, who were walking around at a highland cultivation field and talking to each other to sleep at the field because their home was also very far from the field. When they were talking, a woman said to another woman that "Let's sleep at my field. Because you have to pass through a stream, bring the water for us and also bring some vegetables to make curry for our dinner." But, the woman who was told to bring water and vegetables, did not keep the promise and she just went back to her home when getting dark without telling her friend. The woman who said to sleep at her field was waiting for her friend to come back. But, her friend did not come back until getting dark. In fact, during the day when they were talking, the evil nat who was living near the field heard what they were talking to each other. When getting dark, the woman who was waiting in the field, started to set the fire but her friend did not come back despite it is getting darker and darker. So, she decided to go and find her friend. So, she called her friend and when she called "Hey, dear friend!" She heard "Oi" (yes) from a downslope, which was responded by a female evil nat. When she called again "Hey, dear friend," the evil nat also responded again "Oi." When the woman heard the response of the evil nat, she thought it was her friend. So, she said "Come back quickly", the evil nat also said "Yes, coming" but since it was an evil nat, she did not come until it was dark. The woman was quite tired of waiting because they still needed to cook curry. So, the woman called again. That time was already quite dark, and she was also very hungry, and even sleepy. At that time, the woman said "Dear friend, haven't you backed yet even now?" The evil nat replied "yes, I am fetching water now." The woman said "Haven't you finished now?" The evil nat answered "Yes, it is finishing." The woman asked "Did you also find vegetables for curry?" The evil answered "Yes, I found the vegetables and brought it." Soon later, when the woman was waiting, she heard the sound like banging pots and pans "kring krawng kring krawng" and it was very loud. So, she said to herself that "Humm.... why my friend is making sound too much with buckets of the water tonight?" and when she was watching the way to come in, she just saw the evil nat who was hanging the bucket in her hair, which made banging and sound. Then, the evil nat said "Here, this is water." The woman started scaring but she said "You didn't bring the vegetables to make curry?" The evil nat answered that "Yes, I brought many things." "Show me" said the woman. Then, the evil nat showed but it were insects, caterpillars, and such things. So, the woman said "How I will eat these" and she was really scared now. Because of her scary, she got shocked that night. On the next day when people from home and her friend who lied to her to come back came to the highland cultivation feild and saw her, the woman sicked to the unconscious because she got shocked with the evil nat. Therefore, people should not lie each other for the word that they have already agreed. And, if someone lies, the evil nat also can involve in the process. So, people should not lie to each other.
