lurked everywhere. They lived in gloomy caves, they hid in anthills and
tree trunks they frolicked in nooks and corners under the houses. In the
dark, sometimes their tiny voices could be heard dimly, or their ghostly
presence be felt. But they were never seen.

must leave Earth when his time is up but he fell in love to a
beautiful woman.

young and beautiful girl lived. Her name was Raya, and she was a
girl bold and daring. She was never afraid of spirits. She would walk
in the shadowy forests, bringing along a lighted candle.

the fruit and caressed it. Thinking could this be Sag-in's heart?
Slowly the fruit opened , Long golden fruits sprouted from it. Raya
picked one, peeled it and bit into it. Then, she heard Sag-in's voice
floating in the air

will never forsake you and our child. Take care of this plant, and it will
take care of you in return. It's trunk and leaves will give you shelter and
clothing. The heart and fruits will be your food. And when you sleep at
night, I will stand and watch by your window. I will stay by your side
forever!"
