*The deamon, the woman and the bird*
Once upon a time, there was a man who was looking for a wife. One day on the way to find a wife, he met an old man who told him a way to find his wife. He went into the wood following the instruction of the old man and found three lemons. When he peeled the first and the second. Two very beautiful women showed up and told him to give them a bread but he had nothing to give them so they disappeared. The man came back home to take the bread to prepare for the meeting of the third woman when he peeled the last lemon. Same the first and second time, a very beautiful woman showed up and he gave her the bread so she stayed and became his wife. When they had the first child, the man was going to take them back to his village so he came back first to rearrange things. Meanwhile, one day when his wife was drawing water from a spring , a deamon who was jealous with the beauty of the wife showed up and fooled the wife to make the wife more beautiful with her new hair. The deamon put a thread into the wife’s head. The wife turned into a bird then flew a way. The deamon changed her look to the wife but ugly. The man came back and surprised with the ugly look of his wife but he was persuaded by the deamon that the woman who had children would look like that. During the journey back home, the bird was always besides the man and her child. When the man, the deamon and the child came back home. The deamon told the man to kill the bird. The man put the thread out of the head of the bird. The bird turned back into his beautiful wife and the deamon disappeared. Since that, the man and his wife together with his child lived happily ever after.**Author: Tuyet Huynh*
