project.

legend of Lac Long Quan and Au Co.
Nick:  Oh yeah? What’s it about?
Duong: Well, it’s about the origins of the Vietnamese people.
Nick: Who are the main characters?
Duong: Lac Long Quan – the dragon king of the ocean, Au Co – a fairy, and
their sons.
Nick: And what’s the story?
Duong: Let me see… Lac Long Quan married Au Co. She gave birth to a bag
of one hundred eggs, which produced one hundred baby boys.
Nick: One hundred baby boys? That’s a lot.
