2 – Sui Sui Shi An

About this story

My name is Bao Chau; my older sister gave me this name. My sister no longer wants me, so every day I lie on the old locust tree in the courtyard waiting for her. The locust tree is very tall, so I can see far away. By the east wall there is a very large courtyard; in it, a man practices with saber and sword every day, shouting and yelling—very annoying. I wait for my sister, and he waits for me.
