Once upon a time, there was an old widow who had three sons. She worked hard all her life to raise them. When she became old and frail, she fell gravely ill. The village doctor said that only a rare medicinal mushroom found on the peak of Dragon Mountain could cure her.
The mother called her sons. The eldest son, who was selfish, made an excuse about his busy business and left. The second son, who was lazy, complained about the dangerous journey and refused to go. Only the youngest son, who loved his mother deeply, immediately packed his bags.
The journey was arduous. He had to cross stormy rivers and climb steep cliffs. One night, a fierce tiger blocked his path. The son did not run. He bowed and pleaded: "Please let me pass to save my mother. You can eat me on my way back." Touched by his filial piety, the tiger let him go.
Finally, he reached the peak and found the glowing mushroom. However, he was exhausted and collapsed. A fairy appeared, gave him water, and transported him home instantly. He boiled the medicine, and his mother recovered miraculously.
The fairy reappeared and rewarded the youngest son with a pot of gold for his sacrifice. The older brothers, seeing this, felt ashamed and regretful. They learned that true wealth is having a loving heart.
Hieu Thao (Filial Piety): This is considered the most important virtue in Vietnamese culture. Children are expected to care for their parents in sickness and old age to repay the debt of birth and upbringing.
Sacrifice (Sự Hy Sinh): The story emphasizes that true love requires sacrifice. The youngest son risked his life not for gold, but for his mother's health.
Hiếu Thảo: Đây được coi là đức tính quan trọng nhất trong văn hóa Việt Nam. Con cái có bổn phận chăm sóc cha mẹ khi ốm đau và già yếu để báo đáp công ơn sinh thành dưỡng dục.
Sự Hy Sinh: Câu chuyện nhấn mạnh rằng tình yêu đích thực đòi hỏi sự hy sinh. Người con út đã liều mình không phải vì vàng bạc, mà vì sức khỏe của mẹ.
