The story is about a poor man who inadvertently found a naga king's soul-bird. In return, the naga king gave the man a red dog and a stick. The next day, the man woke to find that the family was very rich, and that they were surrounded by yaks, sheep and horses. There was a warm tent above his head, and a beautiful woman was cooking for him. So he and his wife lived very happily for a while. Then, the local king found the beautiful wife and tried to take her away. In an attempt to win the wife, the king sent men to surround the mountains with cloth, conducted yak-races, and prompted battles and other challenges. Following his wife's suggestion, whenever there was a challenge, the man went to the beach to borrow the naga king’s treasure box, and the man defeated the king every time. Finally, he asked his wife what remained, and his wife answered nothing but a cloth bag. He went to the seaside again and borrowed the last cloth bag, and then his wife left him as well.
