While they were wandering in the forest, they met a cobra and a mongoose that were fighting fiercely. They did not know that they were the God of Sun and the God of Moon. suddenly, he died.

The mongoose bit the magic herbs and blew them on the body of the cobra. Suddenly, the cobra resurrected. When two brothers saw it, they secretly kept the magic herbs and continued to travel.
