Well, when I read this Q-card, the first traditional story that sprang to my mind was Tan Yong, a famous Vietnamese legend. Moving on to the details, the story was about a boy when he was young. He couldn't speak or walk but ate a lot. However, one day, foreign enemies attacked the country. Suddenly, he started speaking and asked the king for a horse, a helmet, and a weapon. He then grew up quickly into a giant. After that, he rode an iron horse and fought against the enemies. In the end, he defeated them and helped protect the country. After the battle, he flew into the sky and became a legend. I first heard the story from my literature teacher when I was in secondary school. Looking back on it, I feel incredibly interested because it teaches people about bravery and love for the country. I also like the story because it has many magical details which make it exciting to listen to. So yeah, that's pretty much everything I want to share.
