Seconds later, a gold big turtle swam to seaside. It hid the egg under sands and crept to front of the men and said:
“I am a God Turtle. I want you to protect offspring of God Dragon, the king of all animals living in the water.”
“It is out of my ability” said the old man.
The Turtle gave old man a claw and said: “You should bring this claw so whenever you are in danger put it in you ear, I will come to help you.”
“Yesss, I will try my best” he replied.
One day, a wagon was pulled buffaloes ran crazy toward where the egg lying. He hinted to soldiers sitting on the wagon to change direction but it didn’t happen. He put the claw into his ears hurriedly. A voice appeared into his ear “lie down, lie down!” When he had just lain down he was transformed in to a big tiger. Soldiers had seen and change their direction.
The old man removed his hut to place on the egg that it can protect it. The egg was bigger and bigger making sand grew then exitted out of sands so the old man had to cover it by more sands but did no much that a day, it was bigger to make the ground grow up and up until his hut touch in sky. Although the egg now too large for him, he still took care it by his best. He cut twigs and branches to cover the egg but the egg still grew not only higher but also wider. Eggshell appeared some color as green, red, yellow and was sparkling like a giant jewel.
One day, his hut was fired by a scoundrel. He put the claw into his ear to demand the God Turtle. A cave appeared in the egg with bed and blanket ready to use. He went to bed and had long years sleep. While he was taking a nap, a girl appeared by his bed. She drank milk flowing from cliff in the cave and grew up so fast. Although he slept, she still was not alone that monkeys brought fruit to her and birds gave her cotton to make clother. When old men woke up, he was very surprised because front of his face was a beautiful lady. She said,”I have heard your breath for 15 years. I am very happy when you wake up, father”. He realized the egg now had transformed into a stone mountain with many trees and animals covering. He put the claw quickly into his ear and God Turtle ,one more time, talked you what to do. He led the girl to left the cave. He now had to teach her all things. Day bay day, not only many birds and animal but also herd came and surrounded them.
One day, soldiers nobody knew where they come from surrounded the mountain and wanted to arrest them but the claw made them dead without a word. A big flame surrounded them and none of them could escape. People who lived arround felt mystery that moutain appeared suddenly. They thought they were fairies so they often came to pray medicines. .
