Kong Ray mountain

There is a story in Cambodia about an ugly giant woman. She is magic. She changes herself into a beautiful human woman and a man marries her. He doesn't know that she is really an ugly giant.

At the end of the story the giant becomes a mountain. That mountain is on the other side of the Tonle Sap river from Kompong Chhnang, where I live. Now the river is flooded. Last Sunday, some of my friends took me in a boat to the mountain and we climbed up it. We climbed up the giant. Lucky she didn't wake up.

Half way up the mountain someone is making some statues of the story. Most of them are not finished. This one is. It is one of the characters in the story.
