they drove to a different part of the forest, but this time parked underneath a tree. They asked the tree to be their host, that they were going to be its guests, and for it to shelter them for the night.
interesting. so how would you ask that?
Goes something like this:
Hmo no, koj muaj qhua tuaj pw hauv koj tsev. Hmo no wb tuaj pw hauv koj tsev. Wb tuaj pw hauv koj tsev mas muaj dab, muaj tsiaj, muaj neeg phem licas los koj tiv thaiv kom tag.which translates to:
Tonight, you have visitors who come to sleep in your house. Tonight, we come to sleep in your house. We spend the night in your house so if there are any ghosts or monsters, animals, or bad people, please defend us from them.You can actually ask the trees to defend you against any and all bad things and you don't have to use those exact words. Just like the elders say,
paub licas ces hais li ntawd xwb.
Also, it is also said that if you have a loved one who recently passed away, you can ask them to come and keep your company (
nrog kuv ua luag) too, but if you do that during hunting, the loved one will also scare any game away too.
