Description:Translation (Seng Pan) The story is about a practitioner of indigenous medicine. A long time ago, there was a man who was good at indigenous medicine. One day, an old tigress spiked in her throat. She was in pain. She had heard that there was a good practitioner. But she didn't think of an idea on how to go and ask for the treatment. So, her daughter transformed into a human lady and went to the practitioner. She begged, "Master, my mother is in pain. Please help my mother!" As a human lady deferentially asked for help, the practitioner also accepted it. So, the lady brought him along. On the way, she said, "Just follow me! Don't look at your right or left side! Just come along with me!" The practitioner also didn't feel well but he only followed after her as she instructed him. He didn't look at other sides too. Soon she brought him to a pit. At that time, the practitioner was so afraid. As he followed her, he saw a sick old tigress inside. The lady said, "My mom has spiked in her throat. Please treat her!" He gave a medicine that could lose the spike. He also let her have the leaves from the forest that could lose the spike. Certainly, the old tigress threw the spike out and got well. That's why the tigress and her daughter gave him a golden basket and a feather. And the old tigress said, "If you look at this feather in a prone position, you would see the humans differently. But when you look at it in a supine position, you would see the real persons. Do not open it on the way! Even slightly! Open it only when you get home. Then you will know who is your wife. Go into your house and also go into others' houses. At others' places, look at it in a supine position first. After that change into a prone position." He was so scared of what would happen on the way and brought it home in fear. When he arrived at his home, he took a look at the feather. Then he saw his wife and children were dogs. He mumbled, "How could my wife and children look like dogs?" So, he looked at the feather in a prone position, that time they were not dogs anymore. He just saw his real wife and dogs. After that, he went to a neighbor's house and looked at the feather in a supine position. There he saw the neighbors as his wife and children. When he changed the position, what he saw also turned into pigs. When he went back and looked at his wife and children, he saw them as dogs. And when he returned to the neighbors, he saw them as his family members. So, he was so scared of the feather. He kept it carefully as the old tigress told him. He also didn't take it to the public and just kept it safe. However, later when he took a look at the feather again, he saw the neighbor lady as her wife. The same as before, his real wife and children were seen as the dogs. They all lived separately in different places. Finally, the practitioner got married with his neighbor lady whom he saw as his wife. Only after that, he could have a happy married life.
