This story exhibits the Hmong cultural beliefs and why most modern Hmong still follow and practice those traditions today. For example, whenever the Hmong have a ceremony, and the food is cooked, we invite the souls of our parents who have already died to come and eat first. We ask them to protect and bless us. We then eat later by setting a new table of food.
