This was the first time the local people had seen such a huge oyster. Many were surprised because the oyster was in a natural pond. Suspecting that the oyster had a pearl, many curious people came to see it.

Mr. Ngan Van Thao, Mr. Binh's son, the person who directly caught the mussel, said: "On April 4, I went down to the pond to fish and caught this mussel. I saw that it was bigger than normal. I brought it home and weighed it and it weighed 0.8 kg."
Many people came to see and wanted to buy his son at a high price, but Mr. Thao did not sell him and instead kept him in a pond near his house./.
