| Ms. Vi Thi Minh in Hamlet 4 (Tien Ky Commune) said that when the weather is hot, the crabs in the cave cannot stand it and have to crawl up to the shore. Taking advantage of this time, she goes to the field to catch crabs to sell. If she goes too late, the crabs will be very difficult to catch when they get into the cave. Photo: Dao Tho |
