In a small village a little girl was born with the name Aby. She was a typical girl, except for the fact that her voice was beautiful. Everyone in the village loved to see hear her sing. When she was asked to sing she would happily do it for it made her feel accepted in the village. Aby noticed that the people she talked or sang to the most seemed to be the weakest. Years pasted and the village kept getting weaker. This was a lot worse for her parents, they where felling so weak they could not get out of bed. One day, one of the villagers accused Aby’s parents for being the source of the weakness. This was the day of Aby’s tenth birthday, and was also the day she decided to stop talking all together. Most of the village just simply believed that she stopped talking because the “disease” made her so weak she could not talk. Long time passed but the village did not get better or worse, and Aby was now 20 years old. A traveller arrived at the village in a special day, the day of harvest. The people because of the weakness could not work with the same efficiency and this intrigued the traveller. The traveller after asking about the “curse”, was directed to Aby’s house. He introduced himself as a shaman that knows of the super natural. He decided to stay in the a little longer to investigate. After some time she starts to relate with the parents and finally they confessed. The parents tell the traveler that the source was there daughter and they knew because it stopped getting worse when she stopped talking. He immediate goes with Aby and starts to question her. The village started to get curious and see that Aby was talking with the traveller. It was not long before the village started pointing fingers at the traveller and Aby. That night the village decides to vanish Aby and her family. At the same time the traveller was telling aby how to cure the village. The way she would do this was go to the closest hill and sing everyday. Her voice was so beautiful that it attracted negative spirits to the village, and if she would sing far away she would drag the bad spirits with her. The village was now outside her house trying to make her leave.  The family leaves with the traveller and continues on a very dangerous road that was just under the hill. Under the hill rocks started to fall and both of Aby’s parents get trampled by the rocks. She starts to cry heavily and this can be heard all the way to the village. The bad spirits drag themselves towards the hill and away from the village lifting the “curse” that haunted the village. As a consequence the bad spirits stick to the traveller and he dies with them. Before he dies he tells Aby that the curse is lifted and that she doesn’t have to sing under the hill everyday, just once a month. No one really knows what happened to Aby, but by the end of the month the village would hear beautiful song from a hill very far away.
