origins and history of Wakching |
| text: |
(155) Formerly Wakching and Wanching were quite near together on a ridge near the [] world. They were quite stupid in those times. One day Wanching wanted to make a drum, but they didn't know how to do it, so they asked the Wakching people and these told them that three or four men cut the tree, and all the young men hold the tree and don't let it fall down. So they followed this advice and were all killed by the falling tree, even the Ang Keang-dzing. |
