Thailand Campaign

I have a lot of friends, but my closest friend is Suprapto. He is my classmate. He is a handsome and cute. He has a short wavy
but rather blonde hair, which is always combed neatly. His skin is white. He has bluish black eyes with thick eye brush and
outstanding eyelashes. Horsing face makes him more impressive. Although Suprapto is not so tall, he has a well built body. People
frequently thinks he is European or American offspring but he is actually a Sundanese genuine. He looks more handsome when he is
smilling.

Suprapto is a pleasing peer. I am happy to spend my time with him. He is always available to help his friend who are in

Then, the king of the rats decided to approach the elephant chief and request him to guide his herd through another route. On
hearing the sad story, the elephant chief apologized and agreed to take another route. And so the lives of the rats were saved.

One day, elephants hunters came to the jungle and trapped a group of elephants in huge nets. Then, the king remembered the
king of the the rats. He summoned one of the elephants in his gerd, which had not been trapped, to go seek help from the king of the
rats.
