Some villagers said that on moonlit nights they could see a beautiful, red haired lady washing her long hair with the hollow trunk serving as her wash basin. There is also river nearby where a big fish appeared each night that the beautiful lady was around. The villagers would not catch it, believing that it must be her pet. One day a stranger came to the village and tried to solve the mystery about the red haired lady and the fish. And so one moonlit night, he waited for her. Seeing the lady in her pristine glory, the stranger approached her. All of a sudden there was thunder and lightning.
