• The Story of Cuoi and the Banyan Tree Jul 25, 2025

  

  Long ago, in a small village surrounded by rice paddies and bamboo groves, there lived a man named Cuoi. He was neither particularly clever nor especially foolish, neither very rich nor desperately poor—just an ordinary fellow who spent his days farming and his evenings sitting under the stars, dreaming of adventures that would never come.

  Cuoi had one notable characteristic: he was extraordinarily curious about everything around him. If he saw a new type of flower, he had to touch it. If he heard an unusual sound, he had to investigate. If someone told him not to do something, that was precisely what he most wanted to try.
