“What is a thing over there that could make your soul

“I felt so badly and nauseous after I had seen the dogs
tearing off few dead bodies to a part. They had a terrible roaring,
fought to each other for the people’s meat while they were
swallowing whole.”

“My God...!”

“Yes... It made me afraid and shook. I saw some columns of

"Who is the victim family that French soldiers killed them

Nguyen's grandpa had a deep sigh and looked at her.

"Yes...!"

"What is that family?"

"It was Duc's family...!"

"Oh... My God...! Poor family! They were a good family!"

"I do not know why...and how French soldiers caught them,

wife and daughter to die after they had killed Mr. Duc on their
backyard as you saw...!"
