The legend of the watermelon

About The legend of the watermelon Android App

Once upon a time, in the reign of Hung King the 17th, Vietnam had many high mountains, large rivers but did not have many fields, flowers and fruits were not as diverse as they are now.

The King had an adopted son named An Tiem who was exceptionally skillful and intelligent. The King loved An Tiem so much that he usually granted him a lot of precious things and delicacies.
Everyone always treasured and praised the favors and the gifts given by the King except An Tiem, he said: “Only things made by yourself are worthy, gifts are worries, presents are debts.”
He always worked hard and did not expect to receive anything from the King.


Some dishonest courtiers who had envied An Tiêm for a long time took advantage of what he said to backbit An Tiem with the King.
The King was very angry, he said: “Let me see, will he be able to survive if he only relies on himself.”

Thus the King had his soldiers rush to An Tiem’s house and escort his whole family to a boat without letting them bring along anything.
An Tiem had to beg humbly again and again until they allowed him to bring a blunt sword for self-protection.

Wind filled the sails, the boat lurched and floated slowly to the sea. White sands and green trees on the land were gradually out of sight.
The trace of inhabitants was no longer seen. There were only the blue colour of the sky and the sea.
Next day, the boat reached a small island. The soldiers left An Tiem’s family on the island with the supply of food enough for 5 days only and a small pot, then returned to the mainland. Mrs. Ba - An Tiem’s wife - held her children in her arms looking at the boat slowly floating away with her tearful eyes.
When she looked back at the desert island, she was anxious even more. She did not have the faintest idea how their life would be on this island. However, An Tiem calmly encouraged his wife.


He took her and their children to find a small cave to live temporarily, then he took his sword and went around to discover the island. This place was absolutely desolate.
There were only little spare grass and few kinds of sea birds here. He had to spend a great deal of time to seek and get some sour fruits and wild vegetables for his family.

Since then, day by day, An Tiem searched for vegetables, planted fruit trees and trapped birds while Mrs. Ba went to the coast to catch fish and oysters. An Tiem’s oldest child also followed his father to trap birds.
But later on, the birds were all alert to the traps so they avoided it, there were days when An Tiem’s son could not catch any bird at all. There were a lot of fish in the sea but there was no net to catch and fruits were out of season, therefore, the family’s main food was still the wild vegetables planted by An Tiem.
Their life was extremely tough, however, An Tiem still believed that someday things would be alright...
