Self-harm

While serving with a fellow soldier, Mr. Lam heard that Mr. Hai was ill, so he went to visit him. Seeing that his friend had managed to get up but was thin and gaunt, Mr. Lam immediately asked:

- How did he get so sick that he's in this state?

While picking vegetables, Mr. Hai's wife confided:

My family got sick because of our stinginess, sir.

Mr. Hai recounted:

- You know, I've never been sick or taken any medicine before. But recently, my ducks, which were ready for sale, suddenly died from some disease. I was so upset about the loss that I fell ill...

Ms. Hai said:

- The blame should be placed on you first. When the ducks got sick and died, I told you to bury them and treat them with lime to prevent disease, but you didn't listen and threw them into the river behind the house. Even worse, when everyone advised against it because it could spread disease to the livestock, you argued back.

Mr. Lam shook his head:

- You're a livestock farmer, how can you be so careless? Our village was devastated by an outbreak of African swine fever just because a few families threw dead pigs into the river. Don't you remember that lesson?

Mr. Hai nodded.

- Now I understand. It's true, a moment of carelessness led to my downfall. I made a mistake, and I have to correct it.

Mr. Lam nodded in agreement:

- We must be conscious of disease prevention. I heard that the authorities are demanding strict measures to prevent and handle cases of buying, selling, and transporting diseased animals, and discarding dead animal carcasses that spread disease and pollute the environment. It's true that good disease prevention is essential for farmers to avoid heavy losses.
