7. Quote of the Day: Number 6
1. Suddenly, I thought of Uncle Vinh. I remembered the day before when he told Tèo, “Even if you're not my biological child, I would still miss you dearly if I ever lost you.” However, when the day came and Uncle Vinh joyfully discovered that Tèo was his own son, they parted ways forever. His words that day sounded so ordinary, but now remembering them, I shudder. It's as if Uncle Vinh had a premonition about the losses that would come his way. And now, his heart must be breaking into pieces.
2. “They say love comes with discipline, hatred comes with sweetness and bitterness, dear.
– So, when Dad punishes me, is it because he loves me, brother?
– What else could it be!
– But Dad's punishments hurt too much, brother! I just want Dad to show his love a bit less, that way he'll be gentler with me.”


8. Thought-provoking Quote: Number 8
1. After chatting with us for a while, Tèo seemed to calm down a bit. Color slowly returned to its adorable face. I wish the fairies would light a candle under its skin every second so I could always see the rosy cheeks like now. The fairies will help it fight illnesses like they helped it survive when it fell into the dry stream bed one day. Yes, for sure, Tèo's fairy godmothers will do that!
2. Love - that immensely special emotion - has somewhat revealed to us the harsh and ruthless truth about life.
