Once upon a time,At the time of Hung Vuong there was a woman who was old but lived alone. One morning she woke up to visit the upland field, suddenly saw a footstep crushing a few rows of coffee. She exclaimed: - "Oh! Whose foot is this big! ".Suddenly, she shivered when she put her tentative foot into the strange footprint. And since then she became pregnant. Everyday, she gave birth to a plump son named Giong. But the boy was three years old and still lay on his back to ask for food, could not sit well, could not speak or laugh.On that day, An enemy dragged us to steal our country. An enemy was very brutal, led by a general called An King. Wherever they go, they burn the houses, kill people and robbers there. Hung Vuong army many times went into battle, but could not fight them. King Hung worried about sending messengers around the country to find talented generals to help the king save the country. One day the messenger went to the village of Giong. Hearing the loud speaker saying that the king prayed to the talented person, Giong's mother was lulling her son and jokingly told her: - My son! Mother's son was slow to speak, so when would he go to fight the enemy? Unexpectedly Giong watched his mother open his mouth and said: - Mom sent in a messenger for you!After saying, silence again. The mother was both happy and afraid, and hurriedly went to tell her neighbors stories. Everyone came to everyone's house and thought it was a strange thing. Finally one person said: - We just go and invite the messenger to see what it wants. When the emissary of the king entered and saw little Giong, he asked: - You are a three-year-old just learned to speak, what are you going to invite me here for? Giong replied very mature: - Go tell the king to forge me an iron horse, an iron sword, an iron armor and a helmet, I will drive away the fierce enemy! Everyone stood and listened to it. Supposed that the god appeared, the messenger immediately rode back to the king. Hearing that, Hung Vuong happily ordered the blacksmith to contribute all the iron to forge horses, swords, armor and hats as the boy's request. Everything has finished forging unimaginable. Dozens of people stabbed the sword without moving. King Hung had to let thousands of soldiers find ways to bring to the little boy Giong.When he heard that the army carrying the iron horse was coming to the village, Giong's mother ran home in fear and told her son: - My son! The king is not a game Currently, the soldiers are coming loudly on the field, what do you do now? Hearing that, Giong sat up and said: - Don't worry about fighting the enemy. But I have to feed you a lot to eat! Mom hurriedly blew the rice for the child to eat, but she could cook it in any pot. Each time he ate a pot of rice, Giong grew a little more and asked for more. The more you feed your child, the bigger you are like blowing, suddenly you have become a very healthy young man. Out of rice, the mother went to call the village. Everyone eagerly brought rice, potatoes, buffaloes, wine, fruits, and fruit cakes to a yard. But as much as he took, Giong ate as much as he could, but he still asked to eat without rest.After that, Giong continued: - I find fabric for you to wear. People were racing to bring silk fabrics to make clothes for Giong to wear. But Giong's body was strangely large, the clothes just made were tight and short, and had to bring silk fabrics to join them. Soon Giong reached the roof of the house. When everyone was surprised, just when the soldiers were able to carry horses, swords, armor and helmets. Giong stepped out of the house and stretched his shoulders, he was suddenly tall and tall, his legs longer than his staff, shouting like thunder: - I am a general of Heaven! Then Giong wore iron armor, a helmet, and a sword in his hand danced around. Paragraph goodbye mother and villagers, jumping on horseback. Iron horse suddenly jumped up, sprayed out in front of a fiery red flame. Pushing his feet, the horse galloped, striding dozens of poles long. In the blink of an eye, the horse rushed to the enemy's barracks, which were blocking the forests. Giong's sword swung up and flashed like lightning. The enemy broke out as long as they died. Horses screamed fire burned rows of barracks, fire burned all the forests.But the enemy general An Vuong was still trying to scream for the incoming army, the stronger Giong hit the stronger, the more the enemy was lying on the ground. Suddenly, the sword broke, Giong was not a bit confused, and he took his hand out to pluck the bamboo bushes on the two sides of the road and rushed to the enemy groups trying to stay under the command of the general. Soon the enemy troops had dispersed and fled everywhere, An King was thrown to death. The enemy war invalids bowing for the goods. Hung Vuong's army as well as the villagers had to go out and tie them up. In less than one session, Giong has completely eliminated the problem for his country. At that time, Giong's horse was approaching the foot of Soc Son mountain. At this point, Giong took off his helmet and removed his hat, and then both his body and horse flew straight up into the sky. After winning the battle, to pay tribute to the hero, King Hung ordered Giong temple to be built in his village, and crowned Phu Dong Thien Vuong.Today, we still see traces like a row of circular ponds extending from Kim Anh, Da Phuc to Soc Son, they are said to be the horse feet of Thanh Giong. The forest that was burnt by the iron horse is now called Chay village. The bamboo trees that Giong plunged at the enemy were burned yellow and turned green by the fire and had streaked burn marks, today it is still known as ivory bamboo (or ivory).
