II. Sample Essay In the role of Mrs. Tran, recount the story of The Meaningful Tiger (Standard)

I am a woman from the Tran family, making a living by assisting in childbirth. My hometown is in Dong Trieu district - a remote mountainous area. Due to the poverty in my village, the population is sparse, and my work is not too demanding. I have cradled countless newborns, but perhaps the strangest was when I assisted in the birth of a tiger.

One night, I heard urgent knocking at my door. Years of experience told me that this might be a difficult birth. I hurried to open the door but found no one, which puzzled me greatly. With suspicion creeping in, I decided not to close the door as someone might return seeking help. Before I could make sense of it, a tiger burst into my house and carried me away. Overwhelmed with fear, I fainted. Upon waking, I found the tiger cradling me as it ran, swiftly disappearing into the dense forest. Though frightened, I resigned to my fate. Eventually, the tiger stopped and gently placed me on the ground. I saw a female tiger nearby, clearly exhausted from labor. Despite my apprehension, I assisted as I would in any birth. Moments later, a beautiful tiger cub was born. The male tiger rejoiced with the cub, while the female rested. I sighed in relief, having completed my task.

Then, I watched as the male tiger knelt by a tree, tirelessly digging. Soon, I saw a glimmer of white silver. The tiger looked at me gratefully, indicating I should take it. Following the tiger's lead, we returned home. As dawn approached, not wanting to arouse suspicion, I bid farewell with a simple 'thank you, forest spirit.' As if understanding, the tiger bowed before returning. As we neared home, I heard a loud roar, a bittersweet farewell. Upon weighing the silver, it was over ten taels. While my village usually had good harvests, that year, famine struck suddenly. Thanks to that silver, I survived the hardship.

Not long after, I heard a neighbor's tale involving a tiger. A woodcutter in Lang Giang district noticed strange movements in the valley while chopping wood. Investigating, he found a white-fronted tiger struggling with a large bovine bone lodged in its throat. Drunk on courage, he offered to remove the bone if the tiger promised not to harm him. After assisting the tiger, he returned home. One night, he heard the tiger's roar, and the next morning, a dead deer lay nearby. Years later, upon the woodcutter's passing, a white-fronted tiger visited his grave, bringing offerings on his death anniversary.
