When Saeng Moeng was grown up. A hunter brought him a couple of swans. These swans were clever and understood the human words. When Saeng Moeng was 16 years old, his father asked all the girls in Xiang Thong kingdom to assemble in his palace for Saeng Moeng to choose. The night before the assembly, Saeng Moeng dreamed and saw a beautiful girl and he loved her. When he was asked to choose, he was looking for the girl he saw in his dream. He could not find her, then Saeng Moeng did not choose anyone.
