The Elephant
Somsak : I'm proud that Thailand is the home of the elephant
Suda : Yes, it's such a big, useful animal. It can lift very heavy loads You know .. when it walks in the forest, it makes the paths. It does not just follow them.
Somsak : It's strong and clever, and it can remember things from previous experiences.
Suda : Do you know that its trunk is also unique in the animal world? It has thousands of muscles which enable it to do the most delicate tasks as well as tasks requiring great strength. What an impressive animal!
Somsak : Yes, I do know that, Miss Suda. In fact, I probably read it in the same magazine as you did.
