Chinh Nguyên

                "So the legend stories were not true?"  In the sorrow voice,
            Nguyen asked.

                "Yes, you understood now."

                Nguyen took an around look at the bamboo, pond and green
            rice field with the accumulating of waves. He raises his face to
            see the white clouds on the sky then he stared at uncle Cao with
            his sight eyes.

                "I will live together with my parent and grandparent."


                "Nothing more?"

                “My brothers and sisters.”

                “And what do you do for your life?”


                "I will follow them going around the countryside to admire
            the scenery, watch the birds sing on the green of branches trees,
            look at the rice waves on the rice-field and..."

                "And what...?”

                "And look at the wildflowers in full bloom along the paths."


                Uncle Cao faced at Nguyen and had a little smile.

                “Nguyen.”

                “Yes.”


                "It was the bad ideas!"

                Nguyen looked at uncle Cao with his surprise eyes.

                "Uncle Cao. Why? It was the good ideas of a good man."


                "Who told you that?"
