Thought to Ponder Tao Kim Hai Tao Kim Hai was born in Vietnam. He spent his first eighteen years studying in French schools in Vietnam and at an early age, he began to write Vietnamese poems. In 1932, he went to France where he studied law, French poetry, and short stories and worked as a journalist. He has also written short stories and published some articles in American magazines like Esquire, Gourmet, and The New Yorker.
In 1945, Hai became a member of the French Delegation to the
French Conference and to the San Francisco Conference. He also became a member of the United Nations Secretariat as area specialist for Asia and the Pacific.
Tao Kim Hai’s English name is Andre M. Exposition The young woman is seemingly writing or talking to someone about the cock. The cock is described as being old for a rooster but is still strong and agile. She also said that the cock is the reason why she married the person that she truly loves since the cock bridged their social differences; after all, she comes from a rich family while the young man is very poor. Initial Incident
One day, the woman and the man were
talking behind the bamboo hut to hide away from prying eyes since their relationship is a secret. Suddenly, the cock intervened in their conversation by making loud noises. Luckily, they were able to chase it away. Rising Action
On another occasion, the couple once again
secretly met with one another in a trysting place. The cock came and made loud noises by flapping its wings and making loud cries. The couple tried to chase away the cock but when they were busy doing so, many people saw them together. Complication After the couple was spotted to be together, rumors spread like wild fire. The people speculated the young woman has lost her virginity and would soon bear a child. These rumors reached the ears of her parents. The worst, the cock started to crow during evenings and this crowing was said to be the sign of extramarital pregnancy. Climax Since the young woman’s mother is so superstitious she believed that her daughter was certainly pregnant. She does not listen to her daughter even she denies the accusations. The relatives of the woman were called and the family had a meeting while the poor young woman was locked in her room. It was then decided that the woman must be married to the man so that the family might not lose face. Falling Action Six preliminary marriage ceremonies had gone and they were married in the strictest way possible. Their marriage was considered to be a bad match and a scandalous one so it had been agreed that the couple must leave their native village and make their new home in some distant province where they were not known. Resolution The couple has been in the province for five years already and still the woman did not bear a child, proving that the cock was indeed a liar. Still, the woman is grateful for what the cock had done, since because of his doings she was married to the man he loved the most. STORY PROBE!
