Enlight

One morning, La Dana advised his fellow villagers to make a sacrifice to the god who lives in the field, in a large stone. He said that God appeared to him and asked: “Why did you stop making sacrifices to me? Don’t I protect you from harm?”

The peasants see that there is a mistake. They were afraid that God would cut the rice harvest, and immediately decided to make the necessary sacrifice to him.

“To make God happy, bring him tastier food,” said La Dana. “And first of all, take some palm wine and fried pork with you.” He will like this.

The next day, ten people went with La Dana to the sacred stone. There they stuffed all the food into the cracks and cracks of the stone, and then went home.

They walked and walked, La Dana said:

— I’ll go to my friend in the nearby village. He said and turned onto another road.

But as soon as his comrades were out of sight, he returned to the stone, ate rice and lightly browned pork with seasonings, and drank good palm wine. La Dana ate, got drunk and ran home.
