The Rice Field (a Thai fiction story)

ตามีนาดี  นาดีมีงู   อาไถนากะดูงู  
งูไปในรู  อาจะดูรูงู   อาจะตำรูงู   
ตาพาลามานา  ลาไปดูโค  
ขาโคในรูงู   ตาทายาขาโค  โคโอเค



Grandpa has a good rice field.  The rice field has a snake.  Uncle plows the rice field and looks at the snake. The snake goes in the hole. Uncle will watch the snake hole. Uncle will mash the snake in the hole. Grandpa brings a donkey to the rice field. The donkey goes to look at the cow. The cow’s leg goes in the snake’s hole. Grandpa rubs medicine on the cow’s leg. The cow is okay. 

Written by two students with help from their VERY patient teacher



I must admit that I came up with the mashing idea and the cow's leg. We had to make the story somewhat exciting while only using our limited vocabulary.
