Description of manuscript content:

The king replied that if the golden bridge Kingka Kham’s home to Princess Pathumma's castle he would give him his daughter. This reply made Kingka Kham’s mother suffer and she returned home crying. Later, Kingka Kham asked the villagers to help him build a creel to trap the (magical) animal named Mae Kham Phong which was able to turn excrements into gold.
