Description of manuscript content:
One night, Nang Phomhom had a strange dream that she met a man who would fall in love with her and they would marry. When she woke up, she cut off a lock of her hair, and put into a box that she adrift in the river. She made a wish that whoever found the box would come to find her and marry her. Many months later, a prince found the box and was so enchanted by the fragrance of the hair inside. After many adventures, he finally found Nang Phomhom. Just as wished, they fell in love and he asked her to marry him. They soon had two children and were happy.
