• The Tale of the Jade Rabbit Jul 13, 2025

  

  Long ago, in the lush forests of northern Vietnam, where ancient trees reached toward the heavens and crystal streams sang through the valleys, there lived a rabbit unlike any other. His fur was the purest white, soft as silk and bright as fresh snow, but it was not his appearance that made him special—it was his extraordinarily kind and generous heart.

  This rabbit, whom the forest creatures called Bach Tho (White Rabbit), was beloved by all who knew him. While other rabbits were content to gather food only for themselves, Bach Tho spent his days helping others. He would share his store of tender roots with hungry field mice, guide lost birds back to their nests, and comfort any creature that was sad or afraid.
