He liked to show off his thing. Though short in stature, his thing was big. At that time, he was not 12 years but He liked to play with his thing so much. Wonder what he would feel if he left with Girls like me. At school, I was seated between two pretty Vietnamese girls. At First, I didn't feel anything. Then, later, when my friends kidded me how lucky I was to be flanked by such beautiful creatures, I couldn't help but glancing at them As often as I could. Maybe, I got the idea from the movie, I plucked the red roses Grown in my house front yard to both of them. From that day on, my friends kept calling me a lover boy. Too bad, my family didn't stay in Thakek so long otherwise I might end up marrying a Vietnamese girl. Who knows, right? Fortunately for me, while attending Ecole Charite, I had an ardent Lao patriot as A teacher. His name was NouHak. He talked passionately about Muang Lao and Quon Lao. He wished that some day before he died, he could witness a greater Laos - a replica of the once great LanXang. In his class, I came to learn of other countries, of how modernized they were, and how unfortunately our country was. Subjected to a constant warfare from both inside and outside, Muang Lao was left badly torn and underdeveloped. Maybe, because of my teacher strong feeling about our homeland, I came to love Muang Lao and Quon Lao no less than he was. There was one event that Deeply strengthened my patriotism. I happened to read a history book written by Maha Sila Viravong. In one of the chapters, the book talked about Chao Anou heroic effort And sacrifice for our homeland. Despite his failure and the complete destruction Of Vientiane kingdom, Chao Anou became my #1 hero. I had to admit that I hatted the Siamese so much that I couldn't bare the thought of witnessing the pages written about Chao Anou's torturre to death. Without any regret, I tore those pages apart and burned them right in front of my eyes. (to be continued) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
