PART 2 · LESSON 15 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
Nui the Heron
The mouth of the soi, Nui on his motorbike and Tee arriving with the camera: Tee stood for an hour, just like a heron; a heron; stands for ages and gets one fish; but the express boat is like a postcard; like a postcard from the year I was born; you talk as if you'd rowed a boat; my father had a boat too; then you're in the film, as the heron: the words that compare.
