Retell the story of Saint Giong in your own words
Compose a narrative recounting the tale of Saint Giong, starting from a young boy suddenly transforming into a towering hero who single-handedly repels invaders from the land.
Response:
In the 6th-grade Literature program, I've delved into numerous folktales and legends. Among them, my favorite is the legend of Saint Giong. The story recounts the heroic deeds of a warrior who defended our land against invaders.
During the reign of the sixth Hung King, in the village of Giong, there lived an elderly couple in poverty. Despite their hard work, they remained childless. One day, the wife went to the fields and saw a large footprint, so she stepped into it. Surprisingly, she became pregnant. In the twelfth month, she gave birth to a boy with a handsome face. They named him Giong. However, their joy turned to worry when Giong reached the age of three without speaking or laughing.
At that time, enemy invaders threatened our land. The king, extremely concerned, sent messengers to find a talented individual to save the country. Upon hearing the messenger's call, young Giong suddenly spoke, demanding his mother to call the messenger. Overjoyed by her son's newfound ability, Giong's mother summoned the messenger. When they met, Giong instructed the messenger to inform the king to prepare an iron armor, an iron horse, and an iron rod for him. The king, delighted, ordered craftsmen to work day and night.
