Answer:
Nga is a playful and easily bored girl. One summer, she insisted her mom buy her a quite beautiful doll. However, after playing for a short while, Nga left the doll on the top shelf with other toys, gathering dust.
The weather turned bitterly cold, and the doll had only one unique pair of underwear. Nga, in her mischievous play, had stripped the doll's dress off and tossed it somewhere unknown. One night, feeling too cold, the doll sobbed softly. Lật Đật, snoozing in her rotation, woke up and asked:
- Why are you crying?
- I don't have clothes. I'm so cold. And you, lucky that your hat and clothes are attached to you, Nga can't take them off.
- She's awful - Lật Đật muttered - She makes us her playthings but never pays attention to us.
The doll nuzzled:
- I don't want to live with her anymore. I'm leaving.

She called Nga. But Nga was still deeply asleep under her blanket. Lật Đật regretted being round and legless. If she had legs, she would have left too.
The next morning, after seven, Nga woke up. Looking toward the shelf, she found it empty. Nga exclaimed, 'Who took my doll?' Mom told Nga to diligently search in the corner of the shelf and under the bed. Reluctantly, Nga followed. But where else could she find the doll!

2. Retell the story from the doll's perspective.
Answer:
Nga, a playful and easily bored girl, demanded her mom buy her a quite beautiful doll one summer. But soon, Nga left the doll on the top shelf with other toys, gathering dust.
Trudging through the biting cold, the doll possessed only a solitary pair of underwear. Nga, in her mischievous play, had stripped the doll's dress off one night, tossing it somewhere unknown. Feeling the harsh cold, the doll sobbed softly, waking up the spherical Lật Đật who questioned:
- Why are you crying?
- I don't have clothes. I'm so cold. And you, lucky that your hat and clothes are attached to you, Nga can't take them off.
- She's awful - Lật Đật muttered - She makes us her playthings but never pays attention to us.
The doll whimpered:
- I don't want to live with her anymore. I'm leaving.
In an instant, the doll slipped from the shelf, tried to climb the wall, squeezed through the ventilation hole in the door, and leaped onto the street. Lật Đật called out, but in vain. She called Nga. But Nga was still deeply asleep under her blanket. Lật regretted being round and legless. If she had legs, she would have left too.
The next morning, after seven, Nga woke up. Looking toward the shelf, she found it empty. Nga exclaimed, 'Who took my doll?' Mom told Nga to diligently search in the corner of the shelf and under the bed. Reluctantly, Nga followed. But where else could she find the doll!

Asking around, nobody claimed the doll. The girl embraced the doll, carefully cleaning it. She said:
- Why doesn't the doll have clothes? Poor thing, I'll sew a beautiful dress for you.
That evening, the girl enthusiastically cut and sewed a gorgeous dress for the doll. Then she hugged the doll to sleep. In her tender arms, under the warm woolen blanket, the doll felt incredibly content. It whispered in the girl's dreaming ear:
- Sister, I want to be with you forever.
