Nearly fifteen years of dance around the coffin bearers to hand bottles, ferry fire burnt face, sucking oil several times spraying fire choking their lives, the older boy as pretty self-absorbed, everyone said, choking him the heavens and the earth, such as oil cool so without wires also vain. He was poor, but the pass carried raising an orphan boy. Normally, the guy with the purple Lum cried, but at times, so he called la comprehend heaven: "You make me very old like that, call me by him, with another guy ?. One month is also home to eat about three meals while twenty seven meals you prepare the garden, close to the drug should be treated vegetarian temple.

Ut Thu Ly aunt just as he never visited. Her cheeks aunt recovered alive, touching the road surface, not avoid, he opened his mouth, his voice a little spiteful, a little bitter, a little ironic:?
