origins of rice; the origins of wealth and illness |

There is no definite tradition how men got the rice. Some say they found it on a stone, others say a rubber tree brought forth the rice. On the other hand they say that when Ghawang made the earth and men, he also created rice at the same time. We don't know how Ghawang made men, but we say that we are his children. If we get rich or poor it is from Ghawang, if we get good (38) food it is from Ghawang, if we get fever it is from Ghawang. |

The dead men don't go to Ghawang but into the earth. When a man dies they say "he is killed by Ghawang". |
