Phoe Zaw: Aung San - the Father
Quotes
-
Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old : Daddy, tell me a story.
Aung San - the Father : Hmm, well, I could tell you about the days when Burma was the Golden Land. Is that the kind of story you want?
Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old : Yes!
Aung San - the Father : Once upon a time, Burma was a beautiful country blessed with great forests of teak and ebony. This was a time when tigers still prowled the jungles, and elephants roamed the great plains. You'd find sapphires as blue as the bluest sky. And rubies redder than your cheeks. More jewels than a princess like you could ever wish for.
Aung San Suu Kyi at 2 years old : And then?
Aung San - the Father : Actually, it's a sad story. Soldiers from a faraway land came and stole all our precious things. That's how our country became so poor.
