Aum Om from Sangkiri in Haa narrates a story about two families that were neighbors. One of the families was poor, and had a child. The other family was rich, but childless. Even though the poor family had to work very hard to get their sustenance, they always spent time together, happily joking and laughing with their child. One day the rich neighbors accused the poor family of laughing at them. The two families decided then to make a deal. The poor couple would give up the child if they had laughed at their neighbors, and the rich would give the wealth to the poor family, if their child was the reason for the laughter. In the end, the rich family had to give all their wealth to the poor family. Hence, the story conveys the message that an heir is an important part of a family and a source of happiness.
