Among the fairy tales handed down to this day, I especially love the story of Tam Cam.

Tam is a kind, beautiful and hardworking girl. She lost her parents early, had to live with her step-aunt and her daughter - Cam. Every day, she is always hard, busy with many big and small jobs. One day, the stepmother offered a brand new peach bib for the person who caught the most shrimp. After a busy afternoon, Tam has a basket full of shrimp and shrimp. But due to her gullibility, she was tricked by Cam, leaving only a small goby. Listening to his advice, Tam brought fish to raise in the well.

From that day, day by day, Ms. Tam brought rice to raise fish with all her love. However, Cam and her mother snooped around, taking her time to herd buffaloes in a faraway field and ate meat. It's cruel. After eating, they hide fish bones in the corner of the kitchen, to hide their actions. Thanks to the mallow showing the way, Tam brought rice to the chickens to eat, in order to find the bones of the goby. Then, she put the fish bones in four jars and buried them at the foot of the bed.

One day, the king opened a great festival. Everyone is eager to shop for the festival. Tam was the same, but she was forced by her stepmother to stay at home to collect rice and rice before she could go. Sad, Tam burst into tears. Loving her, the hibiscus appeared, calling the sparrows to come pick up rice for her. Not only that, but it also helps her to have beautiful shoes and clothes to hang out with thanks to four jars at the foot of the bed.

On the way to the festival, Tam dropped a shoe in the water. The king's elephant passed by and refused to go. Only until the king's soldiers picked up the shoes. Seeing the shoe, the king ordered whoever walks with his feet, will be the king's wife. So, Miss Tam came to try on shoes, and became the queen.

Although she is the king's wife, Ms. Tam still retains her hard work and diligence. On the day of her father's death anniversary, she returned home and cut the areca tree herself to worship her father. Unexpectedly, she was murdered by her stepmother, fell into the pond and died. After that, Cam put on her sister's clothes and went to the palace to serve the king, but the king was still indifferent and heartbroken.

When he died, he turned into a golden bird and went to the palace to visit the king. The king loves birds very much, he takes them everywhere he goes. Cam was jealous, plotted to kill raptors, and the feathers were thrown in the corner of the garden. Strangely, from that pile of hair, grew a large cool neem tree. When the king saw it, he was very satisfied, and sent his soldiers to hook up hammocks there to sleep. This time, Cam's mother and daughter did evil again, while the king was away, cut the cypress tree to make a loom for wood. However, every time he weaves cloth, from the loom, there are curses that make Cam extremely scared. So, she burned the loom and threw the ashes into the main road far away. However, once again, something strange happened. From the ashes, grew a tall and luxuriant but only one fruit. That fruit was brought home by an old woman selling water. From there, the gentle Tam came out. She worked hard to help the old woman cook and clean, like her daughter. At the same time, she also helped her grandmother make betel nut with phoenix wings for sale. Thanks to that piece of betel, the passing king received Tam and took her back to the palace.

This time, Tam returned even more beautiful and gentle, making Cam extremely jealous. She pretended to ask Tam, to ask how to become as beautiful as her sister. So, Tam had someone dig a deep hole, pour boiling water to kill the cruel person, and then make fish sauce and send it to his stepmother. When she learned that the jar of delicious fish sauce was made by her daughter, she also fell to her death. What a shame, evil woman.

At the end of the story, people who are gentle, hardworking and hardworking like Ms. Tam enjoy happiness. And the wicked, cruel, always looking to harm others like the mother and daughter of a stepmother must receive a bitter ending. That is the principle of "Being gentle, meeting good, sowing the wind, reaping the storm" that our ancestors have always reminded their children and grandchildren for generations.
