Flood Stories from Around the World
Miao (Hmong) (southern China, north Thailand, Laos):After people had lived on the earth for 9,000 years, two brothers noticed that someone was coming at night and undoing everything they had done in the field in the day.
The husband enlarged the hole and the Thai, the Lao, and the Lue came in turn.
The Thai, Lao, and Lue were less sooty, so they are not as dark.
The second couple became ancestors of the Lao people.
Kaw-hpa, Hseng-kio, old Lao-hki, Tai-long, Bak-long, the smooth-talker Ya-hseng-hpa, and others came and bowed down to worship.
The two taos sent six of these pillars and six gourds to the Muong Bo Te region and gave the rest to the Viet, Moi, and Lao people.
Accompanied by the Lo, Luong, Zhuan, Tong, and Lao lines of descent, they built the Muong Lo Luong region.
