PART 3 · LESSON 23 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES

The More, the More

Car five of the morning express, rice fields in the window and the conductor at the door: tickets please, ten and a baby; here, Grandma has them all; Hua Hin, car five, all correct; the further south, the greener; Mum says the more she looks, the more she looks like me; the more she sleeps now, the less she sleeps tonight; the more it rains, the slower the train; the more I listen to Grandma, the sooner we arrive: the little word said twice.
