  • Description: This is the story of a young man who fell in love with a girl down by the river. He did not know that she was indeed a water sprite and lived in the river. He kept on asking her to marry him, and in the end she agreed but told him that if he wanted to see her he must always come to the river. Eventually he said he wanted to take her to his home, but she said "If you do that you must always have a pot of water with you in case I should faint and only water will revive me". So he agreed, and off they set along the path. Soon she began to faint and he rushed to fetch water from the nearest stream and so revived her. On they went until she fainted again and this time the stream was much further away and he only arrived back just in time to revive her. Now there was a long distance without a stream and in the middle of it she fainted once more. He went as fast as he could to fetch the life-giving water but when he got back it was too late and she was already dead; and that is how he lost his wife, his water sprite. Ngano story.
