(Morning Star)

  At dawn, the morning stars began to rise, and the dew fell on the ground. Everyone in an old orphanage heard the sound of a baby crying... ngga... ngga... from outside the fence of the orphanage. People came out of their homes early in the morning to find out the cause of the baby's crying. Who decided to abandon the baby here? A woman who was the manager and supervisor of the small orphanage saw a red cloth wrapped around the baby to keep it warm. She ran to the baby, shivering and shivering. The woman used her fingers to pick up the poor baby. The infant's body and face were covered in bright red blood, not worthy of a living baby. The woman picked up and comforted the baby to make it feel warm against the cold and the thick morning dew. "Don't cry! Don't cry! I'm here, you don't need to be afraid!" She comforted the baby until it stopped crying. The dark eyes and the light of the morning stars made the people who rushed to see it, each holding a lamp, look at the baby with compassion. "Why is this baby covered in blood?" "Who would dare to do such a cruel thing to a child?" Everyone who saw it exclaimed, each according to their own thoughts. As for the woman who was holding the baby in her arms, she lifted the cloth that wrapped the baby to check the sex of the baby, and only then did she realize that the baby was a girl. The woman hugged the baby in her arms and said with compassion: "I'm sorry that you had to face such a fate!" She looked up at the sky. The morning stars shone beautifully. Although the fate of this girl was as dark as the dawn, in the darkest hour, the light could shine the brightest and most beautiful. The woman smiled with hope, "This girl will have a beautiful light in the darkest hour. She is a star that will shine on its own." The poor girl was also named "Nuong", which is a colloquial term derived from the phrase "She is a star," meaning "Nuong is a star."

  (Coconut tree)

  Time flies, and now she is 14 years old. In the courtyard of the center, where there is a green grass field where children come to play or play basketball, not far away, there is a girl, her black hair tied back to her waist, blowing in the wind that blows hard in the afternoon. The little girl is sitting alone, her bright eyes shaped like almond, including high eyebrows and double eyelids, which are very cute and cover everything. She is looking at the clouds flying in different shapes in the sky that shines with golden color as the sun is almost gone. Her plump lips smile when she sees the shapes of various animals in the sky that she thinks are funny. The beautiful sky has become a scene for this lonely girl. The little girl raised her fingers, which were honey-yellow and had long, fat fingers like worms, arranged in five rows with their nails trimmed to perfection. She lifted them up and tried to imagine if she could touch all those pictures, the scenery in the sky, the scenery of nature that poor children like her watched instead of the television and other smart devices that she was not lucky enough to use. Her small, pointed nose tried to breathe in the fresh air that was a gift from Mother Earth and the smell of freedom that no one would disturb her personal time today."Ah... freedom! I love times like this!"In the white shirt with black fungus spots that she had worn for years, and a blue skirt that was barely visible, Little Nuong raised her arms and took in the fresh air. Although being alone made her feel happy, at the same time, a feeling of loneliness also came over her. Nuong's expression changed from one of joy to one of sadness as she remembered that no close friends would come to visit her and think about strange things alone. The young woman looked at a nearby palm tree and said: ""You are my friend, coconut tree, but why are you growing up so fast?"Little Nuong walked to a coconut tree that was only 2 meters high from the ground. Her small, delicate hands wrapped around the coconut tree as if she could feel a little warmth from it. That's right! Little Nuong closed her eyes and imagined that if this coconut tree were a person, it would be a good friend. A little warmth, although it didn't come from a person, but this little girl always considered the things around her, whether it was trees, birds, pets, whether chickens or ducks, butterflies or flies, she talked to them all. The closest friend in her life was herself. Besides not having many understanding friends, she also didn't like to make friends and play with other children. She was often seen playing alone, talking to herself and being alone rather than joining other children. Not only that, she was a child who had a bad temper since she was young, no child could come to play with her! And this little girl didn't like to touch anything that wasn't hers. This kind of attitude made other children fear her rather than like her. But unlike others, Little Nuong is known as a smart and well-educated child, thoughtful, creative and imaginative. She has a different way of learning from other children and often uses different pictures as a guide to remember words or formulas taught by teachers. However, among her advantages, there are also disadvantages. Nuong is known as a stubborn, stubborn and unresponsive child, especially to people she thinks aren't smarter than her, people who have no reason, and people who like to do the same things and have conservative ideas. Despite being a child known as a smart child, this little girl never thinks of it as a compliment. She always thinks that everyone has something in common that she does not understand, because if there is a child who is good at something, it is inevitable that they will lose their ability in something. This girl has a long-term thinking perspective from a young age, which makes her play with other children less harmonious because her brain development matures faster than other children. Loneliness and misunderstanding make her a lonely child.

  (Davya)

  There were only ten to twenty children in the center, and Nuong was like the eldest student to them. For education, the children were taught directly at the center until grade 6, and then they had to go to public schools for high school. Because the center was weak and lacked funds, all the children had to help with various handicrafts to help earn money for the center. Nuong only went to high school until grade 8, and she stopped going to school, even though the teachers beat her. Little Nuong liked going to school and had many friends, but she didn't like the excessive rules and customs that she had to follow without asking questions. On the other hand, going to school at that time required good attendance because some teachers were looking for outside income and were not very busy teaching at public schools. Both the rules and customs, and earning money outside, Nuong decided to quit school and help the Somaly, her teacher, earn money by selling handicrafts, which were handmade items.

  One day, a girl named Davy fell very ill, and it was a very serious illness. The center appealed to philanthropists to raise funds, but it was not enough to cover her medical expenses.

  Little Nuong was slowly tying a broomstick, sighing deeply because she didn't know how to help the teacher and Davy. Another teenage girl sitting next to her asked, her hands still tying the broomstick:

  "What are you upset about?" a girl named Thu Linda asked.

  Nuong: "I'm not happy to see Davy in such pain."

  Da: "No one is happy. We're all trying our best!" With that, she stopped talking and continued to focus on her work.

  Nuong was silent for a while, thinking to herself. Then she looked at Linda with puzzled eyes and said: "Trying our best?!". The woman continued: "I don't think so. Ability... Human abilities are unlimited. We haven't used all our abilities yet! I will find a way to help Teacher and Davy. No matter how difficult it is, we will never let the people I love leave me again." After saying that, Nuong turned away from Linda and looked at the yard. Linda, the girl who grew up in the same center, opened her eyes wide. In addition to being calm and intelligent, Nuong was also a sharp-witted girl. Perhaps it was because she grew up without parents that she became such a stubborn person. Since she was young, she had never been afraid of anyone, nor had anyone ever hurt her because she was always strong and stood up for life.

  One day, as Nuong was walking down the street, she met a teenage girl who used to live in the same dormitory. But now she was dressed beautifully, wearing red high heels, a short skirt, and a white shirt, and she got out of a modern sedan. She had a beautiful appearance, long legs, a slender body, about 1.6 meters tall, a beautiful face, and pink and yellow hair. Nuong exclaimed, "Samphors!" The girl turned around and saw that it was Nuong. She smiled and walked over to talk to Nuong energetically.

  Samsoph: "Oh, no!" The woman continued, "Where are you from? Why are you outside? Aren't you going to school?!"

  Nuong smiled and replied: "I've stopped studying! I came to find a job."

  Samphos looked at the 14-year-old girl questioningly: "You're a minort. Where are you going to work?"

  Nuong: "When you left the center, you were underage, too. You're only 3 years older than me." Nuong continued to look at Samphos and asked, "So where are you staying now?"

  Samsoph: "Oh, it's around here. By the way, what kind of job are you looking for? And have you been accepted?"

  The little girl lowered her head and sighed. She shook her head. Samsoph saw this and continued to ask: "What's going on at the center?"

  Nuong: "Davy is seriously ill and the teacher doesn't have enough money to treat her! She has been treated at the children's hospital, but his condition is so serious that he needs to be transferred to another hospital."

  "Davy?!" Samphos exclaimed. In fact, Samphos and Davy were supposed to be siblings, Samphos was older and Davy was only 6 years old. Because Samphos decided to leave the center earlier, she didn't visit the center much.

  Nuong: "Do you know any workplaces that would accept a minor like me?"

  Samphos was a little hesitant because the work she knew was not a good job. However, whether or not she should help Nuong was a question that could not be answered. Samphos thought, "If I help her, it would be like helping Davy, too, but..." The woman turned to ask Nuong:

  "How much money do you need? Noong?"

  Nuong didn't hesitate and immediately answered: "Ten million!"
