Tuag Hlub Summary
**Spoiler Alert**
Yis
Hawj (Leem Lis) was betrothed to her sickly maternal cousin, Kim Lis (Xeeb
Lis), at age three. Since then, she has lived with her fiancé’s family and
visits her biological mother occasionally. Yis, however, does not love her
fiancé and is annoyed by Kim’s pestering elder brother, Teem Lis (Vej Lis).
One
day on her way to visit her mother, Yis trips and falls near a bamboo-pipe
water system. A young man, Kuab Yaj (Ceeb Hawj), happens to be nearby and
rushes over to help Yis. Afraid that Yis’ twisted ankle might swell up, Kuab
quickly finds an herb. He chews it up in his mouth and wraps it around her
ankle with a piece of cloth torn from the sleeve of his hemp shirt. Before he
leaves, she asks him to give her drinking water and they both seem to be fond
of each other’s presence.
