Did the deer intend to show the Thao people the area that would become their home for thousands of generations?

They wouldn’t let the Thao visit them at their homes in the caves. One time, however, a daring and curious young man of the Thao Tribe couldn’t restrain himself. He followed the Little People to their home. As he watched from his hiding place, he discovered their secret: they had tails!

The Black and White Twins and the Origins of the Ancestral Spirits Basket
Every family of the Thao has its “ancestral sprit basket”. The basket plays an especially important role in the lives of the Thao because any matter, large or small, whether of the family or of the village must not be undertaken unless the ancestral spirit basket has been consulted. The importance of the basket will be seen in this story which recounts the origin of the taboo against twins.
