Summary:
Tsetan Angmo, a woman in her seventies, is from the village of Stongdey. Her father used to be a man famous for knowing many tales and she had learnt from him. However, she has forgotten most of them, due to the lack of an interested audience. The Gyalpo Dawa dang lunpo Dawa zangpo tale is about the king Dawa and his minister Lunpo Dawa. The king was a very generous person and fulfilled everyone’s wishes. However, knowing his generosity, once a demon named Bimbersur seduced the greedy minister or lunpo of the king, promising to make him rich and powerful, if he got the head of the king for him. The lunpo went to the king asking for his head. The king cut off his own head and gave it to the lunpo, who took it to the demon. The demon, however, died when seeing the head of the king, and the lunpo, frustrated in his ambitions, died as well.
