A boy with a bear-cup : Pailin

 

A boy with a bear-cup

There was a small family living in the wood. There were colorful flowers beside the house and butterflies and bees roaming around. The deer and bears came to this field sometimes. A boy was the youngest one in the family. He loved to go to sit at the creek behind the house. One day, he went behind the house again , he sat on the rock near the creek and threw small rocks into the water and sang rabbit song that his mom sang to him while he was a younger boy. Suddenly, he saw a bear-cup walking toward him. A bear-cup was very hungry and made a sound like a baby bea…bea….It was so skinny. He was so excited and so sad to see him hungry. Then, he gave a piece of cookies to it and gentle put his hand on a cup’s head. While he enjoyed feeding and playing with the bear-cup ,he saw a buck (male-deer) and doe (female-deer) jumped up to the creek and ran away to the deep wood. His father came from other side of the creek hold an archery in his hand. The boy guessed that his father would went hunting in the wood. His father interrupted him and told him to stop feeding and playing because the bear-mother might come to get her cup and might hurt him. He was not happy but kept him safe and he followed his father back home.

I just noticed later and would like to leave it as cross the line over the word "would"...* would go not would went and in the story just the word "went"

Mali and family : Park, bicycle, busy city

 Mali and family

Nowadays, people are living in rush and always competing to each other and time. Everyone tries to live well but not all happy.


Mali, 17 years old girl lives in a medium size house in a countryside, 2 hours away from the city. She has 3 brothers 15, 14 , 11  and 1 sister 10 years old. She is the biggest kid whom parents trusted to manage the house and taking care of younger kids when they go to work in the city.  Her parents own a bakery shop in the city. Mali and her siblings  work at the shop on weekends. They enjoy and fun with work, especially when parents give them money for what they have done each time.

Every Fridays night, Mali and younger kids will prepare everything ready for stay over at the family store in the city. They must finish their homework as well because it is the family condition, if not then stay home is a punishment. The children always take responsibility to finish their homework and earn money from the bakery owner (their parents) with joy.


They leave home about 7am and get to the store an hour before open and stay an hour after store close at 8pm. for cleaning. The parents are the best baker in the city. There are three employees rotating weekly schedule, two employees stand by in the store and one delivery using a motor bike.  On weekend, younger kids work in the shop with parents and Mali does delivery job. It is very fun and exciting.

The bakery shop is located at the intersection where is super busy during rush hours as morning, noon and evening. The sounds from the car engines, the honk, the bicycle bell, construction sites and etc, all around the area but seem not bother people. Fortunately, there is a huge public park in the area, the lung of the city where always full of people at all time. They do activities all day long in groups or alone. There are many trees and shady, also  the grills provided for set up picnics and the boats for rent at the big pond. Besides, the fountain spot is popular as well where the food venders settled in a huge gazebo.

Mali enjoys working in the city but she prefers living at the countryside as they are, no traffic, no loud sounds, no pollution.

Childhood Memory

 Childhood Memory 

(about farm by Oath)

 Jonathan is on the train, traveling from Zurich to Lucerne Switzerland. It takes about 41 to 50 minutes. The spectacular scenic along the distance reminds him to his childhood. His parents lived in a small town in England where he was born and grew up. People there did farming and did not worry about money. They exchanged food by gathering their produces and store at the town cooperative. Everyone grew different fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. Also, raised animals for milk, meat and eggs. Each family took enough for a day and never wasted crops. There were 30 cottages in the village with 200 population, 150 adults and 50 children.It was a huge windmill at the river that could see from far away.Every live in the village use the water from here. The water came from the mountains, even they believed the water was clean ,still always boiling before drinking. 
 

Smoke was coming from chimneys in the mornings and evenings ,the sign of cooking in process. There was a big barn near the raised area where animals feeding. There were piles of straw and hey around the barn. There was a tools storage next to the barn. It was a sharing center where villagers could use the farming tools . 

 Jonathan’s father was the community chef and his job was visiting every family and ensure that produces enough and ready for merchants to pick up every Thursday. They grew fruits such as apples, apricots, peaches , cherries , corn. There was a huge area next to the river where grew vegetables like kale, green onion, onion, potatoes, tomatoes, melons, squashes, peppers, chillies, limes, lemons and more. His mother was the leader of women feeding animals, milk cows, collected chickens and ducks eggs, taking care of horses, pigs, goats and sheep. The animals area was across the river. 

 Even though, the villagers do not need money for living but sometimes they had to spend money for clothing and consuming items which they did not construct in the community. 

 The train stops that brings Jonathan back to the real time. He gets off the train with a big smile.

 I got an invitation letter to be a bridesmaid for one good friend. She selected four friends including me to stand with her on her wedding day. We got there a day before the wedding. Her mother was the organizer and managed everything to ensure the wedding was going to be perfect. The next morning, the mother called four bridesmaids to get Thai traditional costumes which were very beautiful, orange glistening sarong with silky white top cover and a lace silver double layer top pieces. The mother handed the costumes to other three bridesmaids but me. She did not want me to be a bridesmaids because I had a belly fat which would make the bride looked bad. The bride, my friend told the mother that she did not worry about it but the mother did not listen. I agreed not to be a bridesmaid but asking to wear the costume while doing as a photographer for the wedding. I was really wanted to wear that beautiful costume but the mother denied. I was upset and looked at the costume unhappily then I heard the "KooKoo" sound. I opened my eyes and found out that was a dream.😜

The coffee station




 Author: Na


Pranee went to the coffee shop 331station last month. It was a huge area which had been modified from three planes and set up separately. Each plane was decorated the same for welcome customers. Inside, the counter stays in the middle of the plane for taking orders. There are seats near the windows and middle of the plane and also a wide aisle. Therefore, customers can choose to sit and sip a drink according to their requirement. Moreover, customers can visit the cockpit and take photos. In addition, waitresses wear the uniform as flight attendant. They are very friendly, polite and take good care of customers. 

Pranee ordered a chocolate smoothie then sat down near the window, started sipping and took photos. Next, she would like to show a wonderful time and recommended a perfect coffee shop. She was very happy and loved that time.
