They wanted BiaChăm to join them. “BiaChăm – Go – Go, find and fight against BiaBơla and BiaBơlang, the younger sisters of AtauYangBul. Men fight against men and women will fight against women”, they called BiaChăm. BiaChăm emerged and saw beautiful girls standing on her front yard. She invited the girls to go in and get some drinks. They all went in, get drinks and took a short conversation. “Go! Go and show them who I, BiaChăm, am”, said BiaChăm, hurrying the others.

The fighting of Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen and MaJong, LingNgoa, RơNung and BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong, AtauYangBul turned much more fierce than ever. Though LingNgoa and RơNung were new born children, they were strong and combative. While they were fighting against AtauYangBul, they saw their mothers coming so they dropped their shields, the baskets and knife and ran toward their mothers. “Father and uncles help us fight to BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul. We rest a while”, they said.

Giông and the others, all talked to LingNgoa and RơNung: “Go home! And get your milk. Let BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong and AtauYangBul for us. We’ll take care of them.” “Go! Go! You two look so hungry. Go home and don’t worry about anything.” added  MaKlen, MaJong. “My son”, said Giông, “go home and send your mothers my regards. Tell them I’m fine”. LingNgoa and RơNung grabbed their knives and baskets they were going to come back home. “Buzz! Buzzz! Buzz!” they flew apart.

DrangMai turned scared and more scared as she thought about what her son had just said it’ s too strange to her and she couldn’t understand why her son said that. Then, she turned to LingNgoa and said: “My son... I ever heard bout Giông a handsome and talent man but I have never met him, have never talked to him. So, how can you be his son?” Then, DrangMai continued talking she talked to herself.

At last, Giông decided to stand outside. He peed on one mango and started he muttered: “God! If I’m the person who talent and powerful as like a son of God, I will throw this mango into the millstone DrangMai use everyday. Whole night she will not able to sleep. She will feel like to eat mangoes. She will find and find out this mango and enjoy it. After that she will be pregnant and enough time she will give birth to a son, my son and his name will be LingNgoa”. Giông threw that mango. It flew highly and dropped right in DrangMai’s millstone. That night, DrangMai couldn’t sleep her brain only thought about eating mango. She sat up and turned to her mother.

“All right!” said Giông and GiỡHreng, “We will go in. If we stain your community house by blood, you don’t hate us or if we made your community house shake or ruin it, you don’t say that we want to do it. Or if you also want to fight with us, let us know immediately”. “I am gentle person”, said AtauYangBul, “Who have never gotten argument with anyone. I have asked BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong but he don’t listen he still lie on floor under blanket shaking. Come on and fight with him on floor. I will go and sleep at garret”. While BiaBơngBơh, BiaSơngLong, BiaSơdrăngMatAnar found shade under trees resting, Giông, GiỡTuKrong, DamPhan, GiỡHreng, MaKlen, MaJong started stepping up community house. “MaKlen, MaJong shut the doors up.” said GiỡTuKrong “Today we will fight with BokKiekLaDiaKlaKong in this community house”.
