Let's take a look at this cloth with silver ornaments. This is not the real silver. Anyway, let's assume this is real silver. I will tell you about this. This happened when a man married a dragon girl. The son of a chief married the dragon girl. It was a marriage between relatives. The dragon girl was gorgeous and beautiful. She had shining, beautiful scales. The elders arranged the marriage between the pretty dragon girl and the Jinghpaw young man. The elders introduced them and arranged their marriage. The Jinghpaw man couldn't even go closer to the dragon girl because of her dragon odor. She had a strong snake-like smell. He thought, "How could I live with this dragon girl? She smells so bad. How could I live with her?" He was so stressed thinking about it. He was stressed and depressed with the thought, "She is definitely gorgeous, but she smells really bad. I can't stand near her. How do I continue living with her?" However, when they got married, the dragon girl had to walk through the elephant grass. Surprisingly, the dragon's smell disappeared. The dragon girl became a gorgeous Jinghpaw girl. The dragon girl had beautiful, shining scales. We were inspired by those shining scales and created these silver ornaments. The Jinghpaw ladies wanted to look as beautiful as the dragon girl, so they created silver ornaments inspired by her shining scales. They decorated their clothes with them and wore them. Walking through the elephant grass is like being baptized. It is as if all our sins are washed away since that day. We have these kinds of histories. Everything is connected to God; we just didn't realize that He had saved us. The Jinghpaw people didn't know that heaven existed. We simply didn't know that we would go to heaven after death. Everything else is the same. I just want to tell you about this.
