a long time ago in luang pra bang, back in the time of queens and king. there were three lao brothers, mor lam, lavong, and luktung. mor lam was the oldest of the three brother and also the laziest. he was kind of sloppy and did just enough work and chores to afford food and get by. lavong was the middle brother, he was smarter than mor lam and so he was efficient. everything he did was just ok though. everything he did wasn't crap quality nor was it excellent quality. i guess you'd call him an average guy. the third and youngest brother luktung was the brightest of the three, a true genius. everything he did, he did his best. now i forgot these three brothers lived with their parents but were getting too old and so their parents decided to kick them out of the house. at first these brothers tried living together but their personalities were so different that they they decided it was best that they lived separately.
mor lam found a spot and built his house of grass. it was easy to use grass. grass was plentiful and all he really needed was some sort of a shelter. lavong built his house of sticks, which he thought was sturdy enough to withstand the wind and provide enough security. easy to haul, after all the jungle was just next door. now the third brother, luktung. he built his house out of rocks. he thought grass couldn't withstand the wind and sticks would burn too easily. rocks were hard to find but it would make his house last longer.
one night, a mos hlub or big foot came around cuz he smelled human flesh and was hungry. he went to mor lam's grass house and sneezed because the pollen from the grass made his nose itch and the house fell apart. he find the fat mor lam in there with only underpants on and gobbled him up. now big foot was a big creature, like 10 feet tall, and had the stomach of 5 elephants. so one person wasn't gonna fill him up. he looked around and saw a dim light, lighting another lonely house in the distance. it was the house of lavong. he decided to go there. when he got there mor lam's flesh had given him gas, so he let out a big fart and somehow the gas mixed with the lantern that lavong had on and it burned down his house. big foot grabbed lavong and roasted him in the flames and then gobbled him up too. by now big foot was full but was still not happy cuz he needed desert. so he looked around and saw third brother luktung's house. heard a tv blaring, so he decided to go see if there was good dessert.
when he got to luktung's house. he noticed that luktung had planted some pretty flowers, but they were the kind he was allergic to. so he sneezed twice. but the house didn't fall. with the two brothers in the belly, he farted three times, but nothing happened to the house. he decided to just knock on the door and when luktung came out, he'd just grab him. so he knocked on the rock door, luktung peered out and saw big foot, so he climbed to the roof of his house and dropped a huge rock on big foot's head, squishing it's head and killing it instantly.
the next day luktung found out that his brothers had been killed by big foot. so sad by this news, he decided to move to america and start his own band playing lavong, mor lam, and luktung songs in honor of his brothers. this was how loso was formed.
the end.
true story!
