Long ago, there was a hunter named Da Trang who lived near the edge of the forest. One day, when he returned from hunting, he was terrified to see two bright green snakes moving quickly moving quickly through the grass to the temple! But when he saw them raise their heads to listen to the prayer coming from the nearby temple, he thought, “They are surely harmless. Maybe they are sacred snakes.” When passing the temple one morning, Da Trang saw a big cobra, jaws open, attacking the snakes. He raised his bow and shot the cobra to save the snakes. When the arrow struck him, the cobra hissed horribly and moved away as the male snake chased it down the hill. The female snake was badly wounded, and soon
died. Da Trang buried her under the temple. The male snake gave him a beautiful white pearl to allow one to understand the language of animals as a gift of its gratitude. The King had Da Trang bring the magic pearl to the palace because the King was very enthusiastic to hear about the animals’ conversation and spent a great deal of time listening to them. One beautiful spring morning, the King and Da Trang went sailing. While the fish were singing happily, Da Trang burst out laughing and dropped the magic pearl into the sea.
Da Trang ordered an army of workmen who brought hundreds of cartloads of sand to the seashore to fill up the sea to find his lost pearl, but he failed and died. Before death, he asked to be buried near the seashore. Nowadays, when you are at the seashore early in the morning, you can see many small crabs, believed to do the work of Da Trang.
