The Thai folk tale of 'Dao Luk Kai' tells of a mother hen and her chicks who threw themselves into a fire to die with their mother, who was being sacrificed by an elderly couple to feed a visiting monk; the deity Phya In (or Phra In/Indra) immortalized the chickens as the stars of the Pleiades in remembrance of their love.
