The story of Tấm Cám" - The Worn-Out Blanket (Vietnam)


Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Tam. He lived with his family in a small village, and they were so poor that they couldn't afford to buy him a new blanket. Tam's blanket was so old and worn out that it had holes all over, and he was always cold at night.

One day, Tam's mother told him that if he saved up enough money, he could buy a new blanket. Tam was determined to save enough money to buy a new blanket, so he started working hard. He helped his father in the fields, and he even went to the city to sell fruits and vegetables.

Tam saved up all of his money, and he was finally able to buy a new blanket. He was so happy that he could finally sleep warm at night. When Tam's mother saw the new blanket, she was so proud of him. Tam's hard work had paid off, and he had learned the value of determination and perseverance.

From then on, Tam never gave up on his dreams, and he continued to work hard to achieve them. He became a successful farmer and was able to provide a better life for his family. And he always remembered the lesson he learned from his worn-out blanket: that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.

The end.
