Everybody in the village knew Ai-Laem. Adults and small kids alike called him by that name. Some people added a suffix to his name Ai-Laem Ba (Ai Laem Crazy). He was, actually, what he was dubbed. He acted as if he were insane. Whenever he spoke, his words were so unclear that those unfamiliar with him didnt know what he meant.
Nonetheless, what made Ai-Laem superior to others in the village was his talent in bird catching, since he was able to imitate voices of various birds. Besides, he was able to blow a leaf into song.
In spite of being named a crazy man, Ai-Laem never caused troubles to anybody. He habitually spent his days making music from the leaf. So it seemed everyone in the village regarded him as a special member.
One day there was a talk throughout the village that Ai-Laem fell in love with a widow who sold sweeties in the market. She didnt seem to mind him at all. She even asked Ai-Laem to do errands for her. Ai-Laem himself was more than happy to be helpful.
Later on, the widow and her ex-husband were back on intimate terms with each other. Ai-Laem was seen walking into the woods with his old sarong, the one he always had with him. He climbed up a tall tree, tied his neck with the sarong, which was bundled around the branch, and jumped down to commit suicide.
Thanks to his lucky stars, the sarong was too old to bear his weight. It was torn apart. Ai-Laem suddenly fell to the ground and made a miraculous survival since, luckily, someone passing by came to his rescue.
Ai-Laem hanging himself to commit suicide was turned into a ridiculous subject of much talk in the village. People couldnt help laughing whenever the topic was raised, except his mother who cried upon hearing the talk.
