A Hmong fairy tale described how a Hmong lady gave birth to an elephant son.
She had been working hard under the tropical sun in the slash-and-burn rice field on the plateau of a bluff. Later that day, she became overly thirsty and was not anywhere near any stream or lake to have some water.
So, when the lady saw a puddle of elephant pee on the pebble trail, she drank it.
The lady became pregnant afterwards and eventually gave birth to a son who turned out to have elephant parts.
The fairy tale further described how the son overcame various challenges in his mission to find his true father and their reunification.
That tale might have been borrowed from Hindu tales, simply because India cherishes elephants more than Thailand does. The Hmong cherish elephants even less. A reunification of elephants and humans can only be dreamed of in India, not even Thailand or Laos.
Anything is possible in a fairy tale, even flying and disappearing live humans.
Now, this 2019 Xiengkhouang mutation might just be similar: a woman coming into contact with another being's reproductive items, such as a virus or some infection.
But this time it's not just a fairy tale; it is physically real.
