The Story of Si Hu Ha Ta (四耳五眼神兽):
"Si Hu Ha Ta" (also called as "Thep Inn") is a lucky monster with four ears and five eyes according to Northern Thai folklore. The myth says Lord Indra transformed himself into a monster that had got four ears and five eyes to help people. This is legendary story.
Once upon a time, there was a beggar family. That family had 3 members: father, mother and son. Then mother died. After that, father died. Before father died, he told his son to bury his dead body and take out his skull when it falls out. Father told his son to roll his skull along the ground. Father told his son to make a trap where his skull stops and take a trapped animal home to feed. Father said a trapped animal would bring good luck. After father died, his son did all what his father told.
One day, a monster was trapped. It looked like a gorilla with four eyes and five eyes. The son brought the monster home. When he got home, he made a bonfire. The monster was so hungry and ate red charcoals in front of him. The son was amazed. Moreover, when the monster finished, it produced gold feces. The boy kept the gold in his garden and soon his garden was full of gold.
One day, the son heard the news that the King was finding the bridegroom for his daughter, but it was not easy. The King challenged all men in the town that he will give his daughter when the man could build the gold gutter to the castle. No one could, except the son. He used gold feces from the monster to build the gutter. The son married the princess as he wished.
However, the King was anxious to know how his son-in-law could get the gold. The King asked the son and the son told the King everything. So, the King and his guards came to catch the monster. When they arrived, the monster was frightened and ran way. It went in the cave. No one saw the monster ever since.
From this story, Thai Northern people believed Si Hu Ha Ta can bring good luck, fortune and wealthy.

Four Ears ear👂🏽and Five Eyes 👀 (SiHuHaTa)
There is an ancient tale about a poor orphan who grew rice in a small field. Until one year, there was a severe drought. The rice in the field that seemed to be growing green, but died from lack of water. Only a few survived. There were barely enough rice to feed himself. The orphan's terrible suffering did not reach the divine eye of Indra, who was in heaven. He felt sorry for him and thought of a way to help the orphan escape his suffering. Indra transformed himself into a strange creature that looked like an extremely ugly old man with four ears and five eyes.
When the transformation was complete, Indra appeared in the orphan's rice field and destroyed all the remaining rice. The orphan found this and became very angry. He planned to kill the strange creature, but he looked left and right and could not find a weapon. He therefore found a way to capture it first and then bring it back to be punished later. After a long time, the orphan finally managed to capture the strange creature. When he returned to the hut, the orphan tied the strange creature to a post beside the hut. He was still thinking of a way to deal with the strange creature to satisfy his anger.
Until dusk, he still could not find a way to deal with the monster. Since he was born, the orphan had never killed an animal bigger than a fish. While preparing food, the orphan noticed that the monster was acting tame, so he shared the food he had prepared with the monster, but it did not eat any food.
When the meal was finished, the orphan went to look at the tied up monster. He saw it sitting there shivering in fear, indicating that it must be very cold. So the orphan took some fins and made a fire nearby out of pity. When the fire was blazing, the unbelievable happened. The monster put some charcoal and melon into its mouth and chewed with relish. Although it surprised the orphan very much, he thought that this was a monster that must eat fire as food. It must be normal for it. With that thought, he walked into the hut to rest.
