Kuv lub siab quaj dhi rau lub tebchaws Mau-am! Cov neeg tawg khiav mus rau hauv lub nroog Xau-as, thiab mus rau hauv lub nroog Elas Selisiyas. Qee leej quaj taug kev nce mus rau pem lub nroog Luhithas qee leej taug kev khiav mus rau hauv lub nroog Haulauna-ees; lawv quaj nrov heev rau lawv tej kev piamsij ntawd.
