Description:Translation (Seng Pan) The story I am going to tell you is about the porcupine. It's the good thing about porcupine. A long time ago, a group of merchants walked on a journey. There was a village where lived many witches. They bewitched those who came to their village. The merchants always travelled by carrying a lot of goods, money and gold. So, when the merchants arrived at the village, the witches welcomed them warmly since they want to trick them and steal what they had brought. However, among three merchants, one heard about those witches from his ancestors. So, he always kept it in mind when he was on the journey. And he carried a porcupine quill. On the night they had arrived at the village, the witches served them many delicious dishes like beef, pork and chicken. But the merchant didn't see that the witches killed any of those animals to cook. The merchant who carried a porcupine quill hadn't informed his two friends yet since he worried that his friends would make noises, and the hosts would know about it. He kept silent. He took out the porcupine quill and lighted a match. "My friends. Don't eat the food yet! Wait a moment! Let me check," the merchant said. But his friends were eager to eat. "Why?" his friends asked. The merchant stirred the food with the porcupine quill. Then, they found out those dishes were the piles of cow shit, buffalo shit and chicken shit. If they could have eaten, they would suffer the same as the people who ate that food. Since the food destroyed the internal organs of humans, the people had suffered many diseases like liver swelling, stomachache and some of them became a fool. Since the merchant had heard about it before, he always carried the porcupine quill. Therefore, the people used to bring the porcupine quill when they travelled to unknown places or the places where they had never been before.
