“Hey GiỡHreng! You did well. Now, take a rest and see others do. MaKlen and MaJong ‘ll help you now. So that, all of us won’t be exhausted and all will be fine” said GiỡTuKrong
MaKlen, MaJong dived the fight with AtauYangBul. They wrestled, kicked, punched and burked. Their fight took continuously though many days had passed, daytime and nighttime. Sometime AtauYangBul was up on the others and sometime he was under them. The fight still continued.

AtauYangBul took out his machete which have copper handle and silvery blade. He chased MaKlen, MaJong and swung his machete toward them. When AtauYangBul swung to right, MaKlen, MaJong jumped to left. When AtauYangBul swung to left, MaKlen, MaJong jumped to right. When AtauYangBul darted ahead, MaKlen, MaJong jumped backward…
AtauYangBul swung his machete thousands times but he couldn’t get them. Then, his arm turned pained. He felt tired and bored. He dropped himself sitting down, put the machete in the sheath.
“Come on AtauYangBul! Stand up and take your shield” said MaKlen, MaJong, “We will attack and you shield”.
Yes, ancient men they fought like that.
  AtauYangBul grabbed his shield and shield. The shield spun as a pinwheel. It was glittering. MaKlen and MaJong, each one had a machete on their hands, attacked AtauYangBul.
MaKlen, MaJong swung their machetes to right, AtauYangBul jumped to left. They swung their machetes to left, AtauYangBul jumped to right. They darted ahead, AtauYangBul jumped backward. Then, they bursted into others then wrestled, punched, kicked and burked. But, MaKlen and MaJong, no one of them could killed AtauYangBul. Days passed. Sometime, AtauYangBul was up on MaKlen and MaJong and sometime MaKlen and MaJong were up on AtauYangBul. People outside started feeling impatient.
“Hey MaKlen, MaJong! You both did well playing with AtauYangBul. Now, let him there. Get out and take a rest. I will take care of him”, said GiỡTuKrong.
As soon as MaKlen, MaJong left, GiỡTuKrong bursted into AtauYangBul. They wrestled, burked the other. it’s a fierce battle. Sometime, GiỡTuKrong was upon AtauYangBul but sometime he was under. Then, GiỡTuKrong parted. He stood up.
“Hey AtauYangBul”, roared GiỡTuKrong, “ Stand up, take you machete and attack me. I, GiỡTuKrong, though have no strength. Though my heart’s empty. I have to fight you until this fight end, find out who is better, i or you”.
“Come on! You attack and I shield”, added GiỡTuKrong grabbing his shield and started shielding. GiỡTuKrong moved and spun his shield very fast. The shield now was glittering and covered his body close. It seemed there had no gap for AtauYangBul to attack. AtauYangBul grabbed his machete then started attacking but it seemed having no useful. When AtauYangBul swung the machete to right, GiỡTuKrong jumped to left. When AtauYangBul swung to left, GiỡTuKrong jumped to right. When AtauYangBul darted ahead, GiỡTuKrong jumbed backward and when AtauYangBul darted backward , GiỡTuKrong jumbed to front. The thing repeated again and again that made AtauYangBul felt tired about attacking. He dropped his arm, put the machete into the sheath. He sat down and gasped.
“Stand up AtauYangBul!” shouted GiỡTuKrong, “I will attack you now. Try to shield yourself”.
 AtauYangBul grabbed his shield and started shielding. He spun and moved the glitter shield around his body. While, GiỡTuKrong got his polished machete and started to attack AtauYangBul. Though GiỡTuKrong want to show others his strength, he couldn’t touch his machete on AtauYangBul. AtauYangBul also shielded as good as he had done. When GiỡTuKrong swung to left, AtauYangBul jumbed to right. When GiỡTuKrong swung to right, AtauYangBul jumbed to left. When GiỡTuKrong darted ahead, AtauYangBul jumbed backward and when GiỡTuKrong darted to the behind, AtauYangBul jumbed to his front. GiỡTuKrong swung again and again that made AtauYangBul’s shield broken but AtauYangBul fastly got another. Then GiỡTuKrong felt tired. He gave up and put his machete into the sheath.
“AtauYangBul”, said GiỡTuKrong, “ I and you have fought for many days. You couldn’t kill me and I only broke your shield. Now, we both do magic and show people who’s better”.
“Show your flame”, added GiỡTuKrong, “ and let me see whether I can extinguish it”.
AtauYangBul took his shield, did magic and then a flame came out from his shield. The flame got bigger and bigger and until it was as big as a mountain, it chased GiỡTuKrong. GiỡTuKrong ran but the flame was always after him. It burned his back. At last, GiỡTuKrong stopped. He covered his body by the shield and started muttering mantra. Water from his shield flushed out and extinguish the flame. He stood up.
“AtauYangBul”, said GiỡTuKrong, “Get your shield and use it by all ways you can. And I.. I will burn you by the way you’ve done”.
“Right, I will. If that is the thing you want, I will fight you until one of us end”, said AtauYangBul.
The time the flame of GiỡTuKrong was as big as a mountain was the time AtauYangBul found the way to hide himself. He ran to mountains, the flame ran to mountains. He ran to sea, the flame ran to sea. It’s many days AtauYangBul found the way to escape but he couldn’t. At last, he felt tired and stopped running. So that, the flame caught him. It caught his loincloth and after few seconds, his loincloth was burned.
 GiỡTuKrong challenged AtauYangBul again and so AtauYangBul did magic again. Dark clouds came, winds blowed then it started raining. Water from sky poured down heavily. Daytime and nighttime it seemed not to stop.
 GiỡTuKrong trembled because of cold. His body was wet and nearly fronzen. He forced himsef move, mutter mantra. Winds started coming out from his shield. They blow straight up sky and mashed all black clouds in sky. The shinning sun appeared. The forest turned happy and birds started sang. GiỡTuKrong stood up proudly front AtauYangBul. They dived into the other and wrestled.
***
Meanwhile, Giông was standing by his sons resting while others were fighting to AtauYangBul. Giông asked people to stop then he flew straight to sky where AtauYangBul was. His sons, LingNgoa and RơNung, followed after him. They saw AtauYangBul was sitting on a cloud resting.
“Hey AtauYangBul! Missing your mother?” laughed Giông, “Don’t you know I, Giông, come to kill you? This time I will deprive your life.”
Giông dived into AtauYangBul. They wrestled. LingNgoa and RơNung, though they were still little, enthusiastically helped their father. The fight lasted in many days.
From ground people were watching the fight. All of them admired Giông, LingNgoa and RơNung. The noises matchetes bang on shields like thunders. The gittering machetes made shining lines on sky as lightings.
Giông asked AtauYangBul to show his magics.
“You are like us spending moths to fight. We have fought sine my sons was little, small like rats with red skin and soft bones. Now, they have grown up the fight still don’t end. People have wasted so much time. We can’t waste anymore time. Though you are the winner or we are, the fight have to end.”, said Giông.
“Now, show us all you have and we will defend. If we can’t, we will admit the defeat. The fight have to end. Do you understand me AtauYangBul?” added Giông.
   AtauYangBul grabbed his shield. He dance. He muttered mantra. Then, a flame erupted from the shield. The flame got bigger and bigger. The mountain-flame chased after Giông, LingNgoa and RơNung, burned them.
Giông held his shield tightly. He danced with the shield, muttered mantra. A stream sprayed out from the shield it’s strong enough to extinguish the flame at one.
AtauYangBul started calling the rain. He danced again. He muttered. Black clouds gathered in the sky above their head. After thunders, raindrops fell down and turned heavily. Giông immediately called winds and after that they mashed all blacks clouds in sky. It’s turned shining again.
The power of Giông made AtauYangBul surprised he did get no idea to kill him.
“Where is your strength, AtauYangBul? Take it out”, said Giông, “ Though I am weak, my heart’s empty, I’ ve never lost in fighting.”
“If it’s all you have. We will fight by martial arts. We will end this fight so that we will have never fought again”, added Giông.
“We feel hungry Dad. We need back to our mothers”, said LingNgoa and RơNung, “ When we are eaten, we will back with you”.
“Keep going on my soon”, said Giông, “ Be carefully and talk your mothers wait us a bit more, we come back soon”.
LingNgoa and RơNung said goodbye their father then left. They flew traight where their mothers were sitting.   
DrangMai and BiaVai bursted into their sons. They hugged the children tightly, caressed them.
“Do you see us and father fighting with AtauYangBul in the sky” said LingNgoa and RơNung hapily while they were eating, “Father talked people waited him more a bit he would come back soon.”
LingNgoa and RơNung said goodbye their mother they went back helping their father.
“Dad, we’re back. We should end this fight to come back home. We and people feel much impatient”.
Meanwhile, AtauYangBul was sittinng on a corner of sky. He was finding the way for himsel escape. If he continued, he couldn’t fight against Giông. But, if he wanted to run, he also couldn’t escape from the eyes of Giông and his brothers. Suddenly, he turned angry. He ‘s angry with his brother, BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, who brought the trouble to him.
“Hey AtauYangBuL, it’s enough time for you to rest”, roared Giông, “Stand up. We continue…”
Though his mind now seemed not want to fight more, AtauYangBul grabbed his shield and machete. He attacked first while Giông defended. AtauYangBul swung to left, Giông jumbed to right. AtauYangBul swung to right, Giông jumbed to left. AtauYangBul darted ahead, Giông jumbed backward. AtauYangBul darted backward, Giông jumb to front of him. Again and again no one knew how many times AtauYangBul tried to kill Giông by his matchete but he couldn’t. His arms turned impotent. He put the machete into the sheath, dropped himself sitting down.
“Come on AtauYangBul”, said Giông, “Stand up, grab shield, protect yourself. I will attack you now”.
AtauYangBul held the shield tightly. He spun and moved it around his body that protected himself from Giông’s matchete. Though Giông had the matchete which’s beggest and sharpest in the world, he also couldn’t kill AtauYangBul. Giông swung to left, AtauYangBul jumbed to right. Giông swung to right, AtauYangBul jumbed to left. Giông darted ahead, AtauYangBul jumbed backward. Giông darted backward, AtauYangBul jumb to front of him.
At last, Giông’s machete reached on AtauYangBul’s neck and cut off his head. The head felt down but it vanished before it reached ground. The head appeared again on AtauYangBul’s neck. AtauYangBul continued fighting to Giông as if that had nothing happened with his head.
LingNgoa and RơNung were always beside Giông. They helped him very much. They chased and swung the knives to AtauYangBul as like their father. That made AtauYangBul get more much to fight them.
“AtauYangBul”, said Giông, “shield yourself carefully. I come to kill you. You have to die”.
AtauYangBul forced himself to danced, tried to shield himself.
“OMG!”, shouted Giông, “What are you doing, AtauYangBul? Look! I see your legs. I see your ass, your back and all your body. If you do that you will die soon”.
“Yeah, that’s all I can”, said AtauYangBul, “I don’t know how to do it better. I don’t know how to shield myself carefullier. If you want, you can kill me. I prefer to die than to fight with you”.
Giông took his machete, lather on it poison which made flesh rotten. He chased after AtauYangBul, tried to cut his head. Giông swung to left, AtauYangBul jumbed to right. Giông swung to right, AtauYangBul jumbed to left. Giông darted ahead, AtauYangBul jumbed backward. Giông darted backward, AtauYangBul jumb to front of him. At last, Giông’s machete reached on AtauYangBul’s neck and cut off his head. The head fell down in sea and his body fell on ground then evaporated. He couldn’t revive anymore. His soul was forced to come back his hometown the darkest place in the world.
Giông, LingNgoa and RơNung came back in victory. They flew toward where the others were waiting them. LingNgoa and RơNung hapily talked people what had happened in the sky.
“Mom! Do you see us? Do you see our Dad? Do you see our strength, our bravery? Dad is the best. He fight soo good. His strength’s great and he have many powerful magics...”
There were laughs, the noises LingNgoa and RơNung talked about their fight and others gave them praises. The story of them seemed not to end and that brought them much happiness. But, there had a person who didn’t feel happy that’s BiaBơlang. BiaBơlang kept silent she didn’t say anything. Her face looked sad. She felt sorry for her brother who had died and would never have revived again. BiaBơlang’s soo poor.
The fight had finished. People were going to go back their home. The crowd of people went. They talked and laughed happily on the way.
BiaChăm, daughter of Giông and GiỡTuKrong walking beside MaKlen, MaJong said:
“Uncle MaKlen, Uncle MaJong, you are elders and your are loved by all people. Today, before we are back to our village, TuKrong Vong Krem, I want to told you one thing”. BiaChăm stopped for a while then she said again:
“I and DamPhan are a couples that’s thing people know but others they met in the fight and fell in love. They are beautiful and talented. My brother, Giông and sister DrangMai and BiaVai are well-matched. But they still don’t do a ceremony to tell yang about that. So that, when we are back village, we shold hold a wedding for them. BiaSơngLong, BiaSơdrăngMatAnar agreed to be wives of Brother GiỡHreng. Brother Giông had promised that he would let sister BiaBơngBơh beautiful to be wife of Brother GiỡTuKrong. And I, when I was fought with Sister BiaBơlang, I had promised to let her to be wife of Brother GiỡTuKrong. If no one of people I have said deny, they could do their wedding after they go back village”.   
MaKlen, MaJong turned to girls, men then asked them. The beautiful girls didn’t refuse and men also agreed. All people were happy, continueing on the long way leading to their home.

THE END

Bài 14: Danh từ đếm được số ít và số nhiều và quy tắc thêm chuyển từ danh từ đếm được số ít sang số nhiều.

      Như chúng ta đã biết danh từ thường phân thành nhiều loại nhưng về mặt ngữ pháp bạn chỉ cần biết danh từ gồm hai loại: danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm được. Về cơ bản mình sẽ nói qua một chút về danh từ đếm được và danh từ không đếm được vì bài này chủ yếu xoay quanh danh từ đếm được. Về bản chất danh từ đếm được là những từ bạn có thể kiểm soát nó bằng mặt số lượng tức là bạn có thể đếm 1, 2, 3 cái gì đó và nó có sự phân biệt giữa số ít (một) và số nhiều (hơn một) của loại từ này trong ngữ pháp của câu. Ví dụ: I have  bananas và  I have  a banana  có sự khác biệt rõ ràng, bạn có nhận thất mạo từ  “a”  ở trước banana không? Thêm nữa Bananas  are  yellow và a banana  is  yellow bạn có nhận thấy động từ đi kèm có sự khác biệt không; danh từ số nhiều sẽ tương đương vói ư chỉ ngữ they và danh từ số ít sẽ tương đương vói it. Cơ bản là thế. Còn về danh không đếm được thì bạn phải cân, đo, đong như những...
