THE CRYSTAL HEART

(A Vietnamese Legend)
Questions:

My love is like a blossom in the breeze.

My love is like a moonbeam on the waves.

.3) Why did Truong Chi die after meeting Mi Nuong?

Because he felt insulted. He felt his heart grow cold and hard. He felt embarrassment and He could
still hear Mi Nuong’s mischievous laughter.

.4) Why did the doctor say that he has no cure for Mi Nuong?
Because, Mi Nuong is not sick of anything, and the doctor cannot locate any ailment in her. If a
patient is healthy, a doctor cannot prescribe a cure.

.5) In your opinion, was Mi Nuong wrong when she laughed at Truong Chi? Why?
Perhaps because to Truong Chi's appearance, she believed that he was a charming prince, and she
also teased her about the fact that he was merely a fisherman.

.6) In your opinion, is it wrong for an educated person to love an uneducated person? Why?
Since love is universal, I would say no. You still love everyone you love no matter who you are, what
status you have, how you look, or what education you have.
