Fairy Tales: The Bamboo Tree with One Hundred Joints

Author: Minh Lam, Publisher: Hong Duc

Content Summary: Long ago, there was a kind and strong young man who worked for a wealthy family. They made a promise: 'Work hard for us, and in three years, we will marry you to our daughter.' Believing in this promise, he worked diligently. But after three years, when the wealthy family had all their riches, they reneged on their promise, saying that to marry their daughter, he must find a bamboo tree with one hundred joints. Desperate, the man went into the forest and searched tirelessly but couldn't find it. He cried, and suddenly a fairy appeared and told him to find and chop enough bamboo joints to create a tree with one hundred joints. With the help of two magical words: 'connect, connect!' the bamboo joints connected into a single tree, and 'disassemble, disassemble!' to separate them. Thanks to the magic, the man was able to carry the tree back to the village. The wealthy man was skeptical, but after inspecting the tree, he was stuck to it due to the magic. Only when the man used 'disassemble' to release the wealthy man did he keep his promise and marry his daughter. In the end, the man and the wealthy man's daughter lived happily ever after.

Favorite quotes or passages from the book: The fairy taught him: 'Connect, connect!' (into it right away, into it right away) three times, and the one hundred bamboo joints naturally stuck together to form a full bamboo tree with one hundred joints. He was so happy, thinking of carrying it home, but the bamboo was too long, and he couldn't move it. The old man instructed him to say 'disassemble, disassemble' three times, and the bamboo tree separated into individual joints.

READING AND EXPERIENCING Activity 1: GOOD BOOKS TO READ TOGETHER Question: Choose two topics from the following list to guide your book reading: Me and My Friends, Opening the Heart, Love and Sharing, Beloved Homeland, Paths of the Homeland, Tales of Heroes, Fairytale Worlds, Differences and Similarities, Earth - Our Common Home. For each topic, find a book related to it, read it, and write a short introduction to that book in a poster (or self-designed reading card), meeting the following requirements: - Name of the book, author, publisher, and year of publication or reprint; - Summary of content: subject, theme, structure, characters, events, details; - List your favorite quotes or sections from the book, or your thoughts about it. Detailed Answer: The two topics I chose are: Beloved Homeland and Fairytale Worlds. A book related to the Fairytale Worlds topic is 'The Hundred-Jointed Bamboo' by Minh Lam, published by Hong Duc Publishing House. Summary: Once upon a time, there was a kind and strong young man who worked as a laborer for a wealthy couple. They had promised: 'Work hard for us, and in three years, we will marry off our daughter to you.' Trusting this promise, he worked hard without complaint. However, after three years, when the couple had accumulated all their wealth, they turned back on their promise, demanding that the young man find a bamboo tree with a hundred joints to build a house before they would allow him to marry their daughter. Determined to marry the daughter, he went into the forest to find the bamboo. After failing to find it, he sat and cried, and then the Buddha appeared and gave him two magic phrases: 'Join in, join in!' to join the bamboo joints together, and 'Separate out, separate out!' to break them apart. With this magic, he was able to carry the bamboo back to the village, and when the wealthy man saw it, he couldn't believe his eyes. He tried to count the joints but got stuck. Only after the young man used the magic words to free him did the wealthy man honor his promise and marry off his daughter. The young man and the daughter lived happily ever after. My favorite quote from the book is: 'Join in, join in' (repeat three times), and the hundred bamboo joints magically stick together to form a complete bamboo. It was so long that it couldn’t be carried. The old man instructed him to say: 'Separate out, separate out' (repeat three times), and the bamboo returned to individual joints again. A book related to the Beloved Homeland topic is 'Small Homeland' by Gael Faye, published by Tre Publishing House. Summary: Every child has a homeland to love, and Gaby, an 11-year-old boy from Burundi, loves his homeland just like any other child. He lives there with his sister and mother, who had migrated from neighboring Rwanda, and his French father. In their neighborhood, Gaby and his friends, who are of mixed race, enjoy parties and events. However, their peaceful life is shattered when the country is plunged into conflict, and ethnic violence leads to mass slaughter.
