Sample Story #1: Recounting the entire tale of Pa-xto and the infant
On July 6, 1885, nine-year-old Jean-dep, bitten by a dog two days prior, was brought from the distant countryside to the capital city of Paris for treatment by Dr. Louis Pasteur.
The boy had up to fourteen bite marks on his hand, as he had used his hand to shield his face. His life hung in the balance. Without timely intervention, he would succumb to the same fate as those bitten by rabid dogs before him.
Witnessing the pain of the boy and the tear-filled eyes of his mother, Pasteur, moved, thought of the moment the boy would go mad and convulse in a severe seizure, then die! He resolved to save the unfortunate child.
Night had fallen, and Pa-xto still sat before his work desk, deep wrinkles etched on his thoughtful forehead. The question persisted: 'What can I do for the boy?' Stirring endlessly in his mind. He had experimented with the rabies vaccine on animals, yet never on humans. Despite the earnest desire to cure the boy, he hesitated, fearing potential complications. After much contemplation, he found no alternative. Rabies was threatening to claim the boy's life.
On the next day, after discussions with colleagues, Pa-xto made the decisive choice to inject a new vaccine with hopes to save Giô-dep. By evening, a few drops of the rabies vaccine had been injected under the boy's belly. This vaccine type was non-toxic as it had been stored in dry air for 14 days.
Subsequent injections saw the toxicity of the vaccine gradually increase. Nine days passed, and to Pa-xto, it felt like nine months. The tenth injection was the most decisive, but due to its high toxicity, it could induce dangerous seizures. Was it necessary to administer the tenth injection? Pa-xto rubbed his forehead, pacing back and forth in his workspace. Eventually, he decided it was necessary. He watched intently as they administered the tenth injection to Giô-dep, comforting the boy and leading him to bed.
Seven days of anticipation and worry, Pa-xto couldn't close his eyes. Despite being paralyzed in his left leg, every night, he leaned on his cane, descended the stairs to visit the boy. He feared the onset of a horrific rabies episode. Yet, the ordeal had passed; the boy remained peaceful and healthy. Overjoyed, that night Pa-xto slept soundly.
The news of Pa-xto's deeds spread far and wide. Since then, people continuously sent patients bitten by rabid dogs to his laboratory, seeking his aid. His laboratory evolved into the Pasteur Institute - the world's first rabies prevention institute.

Sample Story #2: Recounting the entire tale of Pa-xto and the infant
On July 6, 1885, nine-year-old Jean-dep, bitten by a rabid dog two days earlier, was brought by his mother from a remote village to the capital city of Paris, seeking Pasteur's treatment. The boy had fourteen bite marks on his hand, protecting his face from the dog's onslaught. His life hung by a thread, counted day by day. Seeing the pain in the boy's face and the mother's anguish, Pasteur felt a deep sorrow, imagining the day the boy would fall ill and suffer...
As night fell, Pa-xto found himself unable to close his eyes. While he had discovered the rabies vaccine, its success had only been proven in experiments on animals, not humans. He desperately wanted to save the child but hesitated to use him as a test subject. What if something went wrong?
The next morning, after discussions with colleagues, Pa-xto decided to inject Giô-dép, hoping to save him. On the evening of July 7, 1885, he administered the vaccine to Giô-dép. In the following days, he continued with increasingly toxic doses. Nine days passed, but for Pa-xto, it felt like nine months. The tenth injection, with highly toxic content, was crucial and could decide Giô-dép's fate. Thus, Pa-xto stayed awake the entire night. In the morning, he decided to administer the tenth injection.
After the injection, Pa-xto personally led Giô-dép to bed, comforting him.
Another seven days of waiting added more silver strands to Pa-xto's hair. Despite the paralysis in his left leg, he frequently leaned on his cane to visit Giô-dép.
By the seventh day, the boy had regained robust health and tranquility. At this point, Pasteur sighed lightly, having achieved success in curing rabies.
Following that resounding success, people continuously sent individuals bitten by rabid dogs to his laboratory. His laboratory evolved into the Pasteur Institute - the world's first rabies prevention institute.
