Odder still are the strange, surrealistic phrases that emerge with the first heat of summer. For example: “It’s so hot, they’re feeding ice to the chooks so they don’t lay hard-boiled eggs.” Or: “It’s so dry, the trees are chasing the dogs.” Or: “It’s so warm, the cows are giving evaporated milk (sữa đặc không đường).”
