PART 2 · LESSON 13 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
Upriver Past Nonthaburi
The river wide and brown above Nonthaburi, the morning wind, Nam beside Jack at the bow: your mother smiles all the time, what does she say; she feels that the wind is nice and cool; and what does your father think; he thinks the river is wider than the lake; it seems that Dave wants to steer; I think Lung Chai will let him; it seems your mother is counting the temples; Mom says that every temple is beautiful: feel that, think that, it seems that.
