Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tich Chu. His parents died early on in his life, so he went to live with his grandmother.

​

Tich Chu’s grandma was very poor and had little, but still she loved him so much, and  took care of him very tenderly and carefully sharing what little she had with Tich Chu. If she had delicious food, she always gave it to Tich Chu.

​

At night, when he slept, she always stayed up late to fan him, to keep him cool. Every day, she worked hard to earn a little money to provide for Tich Chu. She did everything from working in the rice fields, to raising chickens and ducks.
