Four stories from the Khmu
The Khmu are the largest ethnic minority in Laos, with a distinct culture and long tradition of storytelling.
Siphone Sengvandy, a young Khmu man, spent a year talking with Khmu elders, writing down their favorite folktales, then translating them from the Khmu language into Lao. Here are four stories that are particularly popular in Khmu villages.
