“Though our heads fall down, though our flesh’s rotten, we onl follow you GiỡTuKrong.”
Hundreds of beautiful girls, thousands of beautiful girls also said the same words.
“We wouldn’t have had longans to eat if DamPhan, GiỡHreng and GiỡTuKrong had not helped. So, we all will stand on DamPhan, GiỡHreng and GiỡTuKrong’s side”, said the beautiful girls.
Then, GiỡTuKrong talked to people.
“Now, all people who follow BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, stands on a side and the others who follow me, stand on the other side”. GiỡTuKrong turned to the beautiful girls and said: “Hey girls!
