• The Legend of the Pomelo Tree Aug 10, 2025

  

  In the ancient province of An Giang, where the Mekong River spreads into countless channels that nourish the fertile delta, there once lived a young farmer named Hiếu whose name meant “filial piety” in the old language. True to his name, Hiếu was known throughout the region for his deep respect and care for his elderly grandfather, Ông Bưởi.

  Ông Bưởi was ninety years old, bent with age and nearly blind, but his mind remained sharp and his heart overflowed with wisdom gained from a long life of observing the cycles of nature and the ways of people. Though many in the village saw him as a burden who could no longer contribute to the family’s welfare, Hiếu treasured every moment with his grandfather and sought his advice on all important matters.
