transport 200 products in trucks to Smith’s warehouse in Vietnam. The parties agree that:
"Peter Company is obliged to preserve the goods during transportation. If damages occur,

On 2 Jan 2019, Smith hired Peter to harvest durians for 5 million VND. Smith’s durian garden
was located along the road to his commune. To prevent other people in the commune from
passing by, Smith hired Kevin, who was 09 years old, to stand near durian trees to watch and
tell people not to go to or stay near the durian trees. As being occupied with his game, Kevin
did not realise that Mrs. A had come near a durian tree on which there was Peter. Peter then
accidentally dropped a durian and hit Mrs. A's shoulder, causing her to be hospitalized for
treatment which cost approximately 20 million VND.
