PART 1 · LESSON 8 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The Viewing

The old boat shed at Bang Khun Non, Tee bringing Jack by boat and Khun Prasit with the key: eight metres wide, fifteen long; enough for two boats; enough, my father kept three in here; the roof's too old, look; the slipway is good enough to use; the wiring is old, a little off the rent; at low water, is the landing deep enough; deep enough, this canal never dries: enough and too much, with the measures of a building.
