Strange stories at the edge of the forest
Early in the morning at the end of July, on the way to the forest to look for medicinal herbs, Mr. Nguyen Van Quang and his wife, Ms. La Thi Tham ( 40 years old, in Binh Khe commune, Dong Trieu district, Quang Ninh province) accidentally discovered a calf that was not steady on its feet and was trembling and nestled in the bushes.
Normally, calves cling to their mothers. people would find a way to run, but that day, for some reason, when they saw us, they ran out, rubbing their palms and begging for food.” Ms. Tham said that after many years of going to the forest, she and her husband first encountered such a strange thing.
According to Ms. Tham, people Local people often release buffaloes in the forest to let them feed themselves, sometimes they only visit once every few months. Thinking that the mother buffalo was looking for food nearby, Ms. Tham and her husband left.
“But near evening when we went down the mountain, my husband and I still saw the calf there with its legs shaking. We got closer and the animal suddenly ran away. came and nuzzled my husband as if asking for food. At this point we thought maybe the animal had been left by its mother at the edge of the forest,” Ms. Tham said.
There was some sugar cane with her. Tham quickly mixed it with spring water for the calf to drink for strength.
“In the morning, my husband and I thought maybe the mother buffalo left her calf there to search for food because this species does not leave its calf to go anywhere. But in the evening, when I heard the sound of my husband and I’s motorbike, the calf immediately came running.
Before that, my husband and I saved some road and thought that if we came back and saw the calf, we would give it to them. That night, my husband posted messages in groups in Quang Ninh to find the calf’s owner.
However, 4 days later, no one came to claim him home to raise” Ms. Tham shared.
After making that decision, Ms. Tham and her husband recorded a video all the way from the forest to their house, fearing that people would see them and say he was wrong. she stole the calf.
The female woodsman shared that since being brought home, the baby calf has adapted very quickly. Seemingly afraid of being abandoned again, the animal kept clinging to the people in the house and wouldn’t let go. Especially with Mr. Quang, the owner wherever he went, the baby calf followed each step and rubbed his body.
8 days later Ms. Tham and her husband received a phone call from a local person accepting the calf. When the couple was about to return it, the owner suddenly changed his decision to leave the animal in the care of the lumberjack family due to concerns that the calf brought home would not be compatible with the buffalo herd at home.
From then on, the abandoned calf officially became a member of Ms. Tham’s family, named Map.
New member of the lumberjack family
Mr. Quang shared that at Mat’s house he is very smart and acts like a child. Fat and friendly, he often lies down so his children can lay their heads and feet up to watch them read books…
“One day my husband and I went to the forest all day and the children were away and the baby was at home. At the end of the day, when I returned home, I suddenly heard someone running out, looking happy like a family dog celebrating its owner. One day, I forgot to turn off the fan when I returned and saw that he had chosen a place to lie down in front of the fan very enjoyable.
And it’s very strange that Fatty always “goes heavy” in… the toilet instead of going to the garden like the dogs,” Mr. Quang happily said.
Tu The day the family has a new member, Mr. Quang and his wife regularly update photos of the family’s fun moments, such as when the father and children go fishing and the children take Map to catch crabs… on social networks. Those simple clips received a lot of interest and response from everyone.
He said that one day the power went out and before he could post the video, everyone enthusiastically commented asking why he hadn’t seen the new video yet. by Fat. Even many “Fat fans” offered to ask for an account number to send money to help the lumberjack couple raise a cute calf, but Mr. Quang’s family refused.
“Although life is not abundant But my family can still take care of Map,” Mr. Quang said.
The story of Map and Tham’s family is known to many people. There have been many fake channels set up to take advantage of Mr. Quang, who had to warn many times.
“There are channels that have even more followers than our “genuine channel” . I don’t know if people created those “fake channels” to get views or for some other purpose. Every time we share videos about Mat, those fake channels copy and post them.
Currently, my husband and I still make videos sharing our daily life with Mat to bring joy to everyone. with everyone. We are not calling for donations or support. We hope everyone will be careful,” Ms. Tham said.
