The strange thing is when Giong reached three years old, he still couldn’t talk, move or smile. At that time, the country was threaten by the invaders who were very cruel. One day, the envoy sent by the King to find those who could fight against the enemy came to his village. Listening to the message from the envoy, Giong suddenly told his mother to ask the envoy to talk to him.He told the envoy to ask the king to make for him three things: a horse, an armor and a rod all made from iron.When the King was preparing these things, Giong grew up rapidly, the villagers from most of the places in the country contributed foods to bring him up. When the three things were finished and sent to him, Giong stretched his shoulders, rose himself and turned to be a muscular adult hero. He wore the armor, hold the rod and rode the horse to find and fight against the invaders. Finally, He helped the country to make the invaders leave the country. After that, Giong flied to the sky.*
