PART 3 · LESSON 27 OF 30 · 30 MINUTES
Two Fathers and the Old Boat
The shed behind the pier, the old boat on her blocks, Uncle Chai and Jack's father with Jack between them: this is my father's boat, still not finished; why is it still not finished? So we leave her like this for now; Dad will keep next month for her; the wood is stored at Wichai's yard; Dad asks to leave his adze with you; fine, hang it up until he comes back; then Dad has to come back: the little word for later after a verb.
