Once upon a time, there was a poor old woman living in a very small area. Local community often distrusted this poor woman because her appearance seemed dirty and ugly-looking. Such an unhappy woman lived miserable on her own. One day, she was eventually helped by a good-hearted mother and her son who took care of her on rainy and sunny days.
No one believed that the truth was that the old lady was a fairy. She told the mother and son that the village and surrounding area were about to be struck by a natural disaster. Before leaving, the woman left some rice seeds into the hands of that mother. She received the significant informantion when water would be rising up, the right time to opening the present to save neiboughors.
Despite her warnings, no one cared of her appearance, except for the mother and son, who began to build a boat. Time passed by . Busy life was still on
One night , a terrible rainstorm began to engulf the whole village meanwhile the mother and son, who had prepared their boat beforehand, survived and saved many people from drowning.
As a result, the village was subsequently submerged in water and gradually formed into the current Ba Bể Lake.
