The folk of Con Dao still keep the legend of Bai Ong Dung telling that, in the past in Hoa Nghi village, Go Cong province, there was a teacher specialized in martial arts, he had 2 children, the oldest daughter named Huong, called Ms. Hai and Third son named Ba Tho.
Although Hai is a girl but has extraordinary strength, her father also imparts martial arts. Those boys who accidentally do not know, or open up ridiculous bees, will be given a lesson by Ms. Hai to run. There was a guy embracing hatred and writing poetry under the tree of Da near her house: “In the village, there is a sister, Ba. So in the village, no one dared to discuss about marrying her.
At the same time, in the neighboring area, in Tan Thuan Dong village, there was Hai Dung, a rich son of Ba ho Suong. Because he is a pampered son, so he has a habit of playing, famous as a Dude.

Ba Ho’s grandparents are very worried that their career will turn into smoke, so it is necessary to have a very high-handed bride to be able to control the rebellious child. So, Hai was chosen to be the bride of Mr. Ba’s household Suong. Not long after the wedding was completed, Mr. and Mrs. Ba Ho also “invited each other” to die.
Hai Touch was then stopped by Ms. Hai from her bad habits. Not only that, Hai Dung was sometimes locked up, starved all day when he was discovered a debauchery. So, on the outside, I have to force a smile, but in my mind, Hai Dam is always warm, trying to “treat” Ms. Hai.

One day, Hai Dung picked up some fresh coconuts sneakily hanging from the top of the coconut tree beside the pond, where Hai used to collect vegetables, make fish every day … and then watch in the middle of when Ms. Hai did not notice, then let go of the rope. Forcing some coconuts to fall right in the head, Ms. Hai fell into the pond and died. Neighbors heard the news of running, and saw Hai Dung sitting holding his wife’s body crying and crying, so everyone thought that Hai died due to a falling coconuts.
Since then, Hai Dung was like a horse, letting go of the horse, spoiled for being lost, and his assets quickly dissipated. The regret for Hai Dung is that after the exhaustion, they turn to old friends to ask for the leftover rice, they all turn a blind eye. Realizing the plight, Hai Dung was extremely repentant of plotting to kill his wife.
Two Touches became lethargic like a soul lost, conscience tormented, and then came to the door to open the end of the matter. After that, he was sentenced to 10 years by criminal law and exiled to Con Dao. “But my dear / If you repent, it’s not good to go back.”
During the time of paying off his prison debt, Hai Dung lived in seclusion on a beach located at the back of Con Dao which was also the last resting place of Hai Dung. The people named Bai Ong Dang g since then.
