“You’re beautiful, as like sunlight shiny, as like forest flowers radiant and full of vitality,” said Giông. “Can you stand up and walk?”, added Giông.
 BiaSơdrăngMatAnar stood up. She gently walked few steps away then turned back.
Giông asked her to smile, she smiled. Giông asked her to talk, she talked. Giông observed her for a while then he said:
“You’re beautiful that nothing on your body’s ugly. White teeth, sweety smile, straight legs, slim waist. Your hair’s straight and smooth. If you agree, I want you to marry with my brother GiỡHreng.”
