Thang Bom
I went to bed 4am this morning . I woke this afternoon and felt so good. First day back to my own bed and i slept like a baby. Some how a folk song ( poem?) was ringing in my head and i was suprised that i could remember most of it words . My brothers and sister used to call me thang Bom as my nick name in the family....

Phu Ong xin doi ba bo chin trau

Phu Ong xin doi mot be go lim
Bom rang Bom chang lay lim

Bom rang Bom chang lay moi
Phu Ong xin doi nam xoi

what does it mean, bao?
My translation is really bad but i will do my best. A lillte boy refused to exhange his cocomut leave fan for 3 cows, 9 buffalo, a log of wood, a bird or a fish. But when asked to trade it for a handful stick rice. That little boy named Bom smiled and agreed. Bom had his head shaved except a plot of hair left at the forehead.
