"But I don't want to move!" yell Nadech, crying, and stomping his foot
"Come on, Nadech," say his mother
"WHY?!" scream Nadech, as he continue to stomp his foot
"Because of your father's work," say his mother
"I don't want to!" say Nadech, stomping to his room
He got inside and cry. His parents have never understand him. They have never let him do anything he wants too.
------------------------------------------
Nadech look at his house. He was sad to leave his house. He didn't say anything to his parents on the ride, since he was still mad at them for making him move. The moment he got there, he know that he was going to hate this place. The place was dirty, full of dirt, and it was very hot. He dislike the air, also. He turn back to his parents.
"Is this where we are staying at?" ask Nadech
"Yes," answer his mother
"Why is it so different from our house?" ask Nadech
"This is the countryside, we live in the city, son," answer his mother
"I don't like this place, may we just go back, back to our house," say Nadech
"No, your dad have some work here, so we need to stay here," explain his mother
"How long are we going to stay here?" ask Nadech
"For a long time, son," answer his mother
Nadech sigh. He does not like the idea of staying in the countryside for long.
---------------------------------------
"What? A rich new kid from the city is moving here?!" say Kimberly
"Yes," say her mother
"It is cool," say her friend, Marie
"When?" ask Kimberly
"Today, and we are in charge to take them on a tour," say her mother
"Really," say Marie
"Yes," say Kim's mother
"Why us?" ask Kim
"Because your father is the headman of our village," say Kim's mom
Marie turn to Kim.
"That is so cool," say Marie
"No, I don't want to take care of some snotty rich kid from the city," say Kim
"Don't say that Kim," say Kim's mother
"Why? Why can't I say bad things about them?!" say Kim
"Don't judge them yet, you don't know them," say Kim's mother
"Yes, I agreed with your mother," say Marie
"You always does, that makes me wonder, are you my friend or my mom's " say Kim
"Of course I'm your friend," say Marie
"Than you'll have to agree with me," say Kim
"Ok, ok," say Marie
-----------------------------------------------------
Nadech got out and went into his new house. It looks nice, and it's simalar to his old house. His father walked in.
"Do you like it, son?" ask his father
"Yes," say Nadech, walking around
"See I told you," say his father
"Thanks, dad," say Nadech
"Your welcome, son," say his father
Nadech survey the house. He likes the house.

"Kim, are you done?" ask her mother
"Yes, mother," say Kim, getting out
"Ok, let's go," say her mother
They went to her father. They have to greet the family from Bangkok.
------------------------------------------
"Come on, Nadech," say his father
"Where are we going?" ask Nadech
"To the headman's house, he's going to show us around the village," say his father
His mother took him by the hand and they got inside the car, and head to the headman's house. When Nadech got there, he was disgusted by their house. It was dirty, and unclean.
"Come on," say his father
"I don't want to go, this place is dirty," whined Nadech
"Come on," say his father
"No," say Nadech
"OK, find do what you want, your mother and I are going to go in," say his father
Nadech watch as his parents leave. He didn't want to be alone, but he doesn't want to go either. He have to choose. Finally he pick to go. He open the door, and went with his parents.
-----------------------------------------------
"Hello, headman," say Nadech's father
"Hello," say Kim's father
"How are you?" ask Nadech's father
"I'm fine, and you?" ask Kim's father
"I'm also good, too," say Nadech's father

"Her name is nice," say Nadech's mother
"Thanks," say Kim's father
Than Kim and her mother came in. Nadech stare at Kim, and Kim also stare at Nadech.
"Um, I think we should start," say Kim's father
"Yes," say Nadech's father
Kim's father look at her and Nadech. He thinks that they should stay, since they are little, and won't have the energy.
"Um, I think we should leave your son, and my daughter here, for my mother to look after," say Kim's father
"I agreed," say Nadech's father. He turn to Nadech.
"Nadech stay here, ok," say his father

"Did you guys have fun?" ask Kim's mother when they got back
"No, that kid was such a crybaby, he cry the whole time," say Kim
"Kim," say her father
"Sorry, but it's true," say Kim
"But, remember, he's higher than us," say her mother
