EP-9 KA SOHLYNGEM - A TRAGIC LOVE STORY OF KA SOHLYNGEM

This tale can be described as a Horror with a twist. We often hear monsters killing their
victims in a gruesome manner but in this case, this mythical creature of a Monster told in
this tale has his funny side meaning, he does the opposite that is, he tickles and harasses
people instead till they lose consciousness. They say that people could hear his shrieks and
monstrous noises whenever they pass by and he also has a tendency to annoy, tease and
tickle people.
In this story two young girls were caught in this frightful situation but one of the sisters was
brave enough to stand her ground against the monster by poking him with a hot iron rod
that made him disappear and turn into a vine tree which is similar to a trivet.

EP-10 U SUIDTYNJANG - MYTHICAL BOOGIE MAN

Back in the olden days when animals could speak to each other, they would often meet up
for commercial purposes at a rendezvous “KA IEW LURI LURA” (Market of Chaos). Legend
has it that the animals had trampled on fermented beans which was sold by a dog who was
allegedly accused of selling excretion. The remaining paste of the fermented beans lingered
on the animals’ feet which they believe that it has helped the dogs to easily track the
animals during hunting because of the smell.
Due to this unfortunate event, the dog was eventually despised by his fellow animals which
forced him to beg from a human to allow him to live with him forever.
