Source text - English On a hill above the valley there was a wood.
In the wood there was a huge tree. Under the tree there was a hole. In the hole lived Mr. Fox and Mrs. Fox and their four Small Foxes. Every evening as soon as it got dark, Mr Fox would say to Mrs Fox, ‘Well, my darling, what shall it be this time? A plump chicken from Boggis? A duck or a goose from Bunce? Or a nice turkey from Bean?’ And when Mrs Fox had told him what she wanted, Mr Fox would creep down into the valley in the darkness of the night and help himself. Boggis and Bunce and Bean knew very well what was going on, and it made them wild with rage. They were not men who liked to give anything away. Less still did they like anything to be stolen from them. So every night each of them would take his shotgun and hide in a dark place somewhere on his own farm, hoping to catch the robber. But Mr Fox was too clever for them. He always approached a farm with the wind blowing in his face, and this meant that if any man were lurking in the shadows ahead, the wind would carry the smell of that man to Mr Fox’s nose from far away.
Thus, if Mr Boggis was hiding behind his Chicken House Number One, Mr Fox would smell him out from fifty yards off and quickly change direction, heading for Chicken House Number Four at the other end of the farm
‘Dang and blast that lousy beast!’ cried Boggis.
‘I’d like to rip his guts out!’ said Bunce.
‘He must be killed!’ cried Bean.
‘But how?’ said Boggis. ‘How on earth can we catch the blighter?’
Bean picked his nose delicately with a long finger. ‘I have a plan,’ he said.
‘You’ve never had a decent plan yet,’ said Bunce.
‘Shut up and listen,’ said Bean. ‘Tomorrow night we will all hide just outside the hole where the fox lives. We will wait there until he comes out. Then . . .Bang! Bangbang-bang. ’
‘Very clever,’ said Bunce. ‘But first we shall have to find the hole.’
‘My dear Bunce, I’ve already found it,’ said the crafty Bean. ‘It’s up in the wood on the hill. It’s under a huge tree . . .’
Translation - English “I’ve been hearing some words spreading around recently” The usual lively voice started to tell a story. Those eyes were still sparkling as they were twenty years ago.
“What are those words about, Karakad my lady?” The smile and sharp eyes when looking at his most beloved woman were remained the same.
“Some people saw the golden light shining from that way… sir. Around Mrs. Kui’s garden on the corner of the river ”
“Is that so? What light is it?”
“They said it is The Mother of the Earth’s treasure giving to the chosen one, sir”
“Hmm” The suspicious eyes were looking at Lady Wisootsakorn, trying to prohibit her, but it was too late.
“Let’s see, sir. If they did saw it, we could dig it. Well… We might find some antique treasures from Uthong or Pra Borommatrailokanat reign or Naresuan, sir” Her eyes shimmered with excitement so that her body felt sparkling like thunder sparked on. v“Lady Karaked, our children are all adults and almost be able to get married already. You should be less curious”
“Aww I”
“Nonsense, Rueng may come back from Songkwae today. Prang and Kaew would leave the royal life as well. You should prepare them some food”
“Oh, that’s true. I’m just too excited about the rumour that I forgot all of that. Today we can have grilled shrimp. Going out for pork might be a little bit late. And.. make Tom Yam for a pot. Crispy Fried Eggs with a good scent of fish sauce may be good. I’d better go to the kitchen, darling” Ketsurang said while standing and nodding to Phin and Yam, her servants, to go to the kitchen. “Two servants just only smiled to Praya Wisootsakorn before crawling and bow. They stood up and followed their lady” Phraya Wisootsakorn’s eyes followed the group of people before he breathed out a long air. His thick black eyebrows frowned to Mrs. Kui’s river basin with anxiousness inside. His mind recalled the time when the naughty lady fell down to the floor and her soul flew away after touching Khoi scripture of Krishna Kali. This made him bury it because he was afraid of the impact to his adored one. He was frightened every time he thought of this event. If he was not wrong, it was that way the scripture was buried.
“Deja, my dear. What was that noisy conversation with Karaked. I could still hear in my bedroom. Asked Lady Jampa who was still healthy even she was over sixty. She came and sat on the wood bench, which Ketsurang had sat a moment ago. Followed Lady Jampa, Prig and Jaung whose healths decayed as their older ages. Prig was so old that the grey hair grew on all her head, but her sight and sound were not less capable than they were before.
“I heard, ma’am. That Lady Karaked spoke about the golden flare at Mrs. Kui’s river corner.”
“What golden flare? Just joking with her children, I suppose. The kids are all teenage. Kaew would soon get married. Your wife still does not give up her curiosity. And, she also raise the children strangely. Giggling with them like friends. Nobody does like this.”
Lady Jampa said while chewing betel and sighed as if she was so tired. But her eyes casted a humorous feelings. Phraya Wisootsakorn looked down, hiding his sparking eyes. If his mother knew that Karaked taught her sisters, Prang and Kaew, martial arts, it was possible that mother might be fainted to death.
Thai to English: Joe Biden ชูอดีตเอกอักคราชทูตเกย์นั่งระดับสูงแคมเปญเลือกตั้ง General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - Thai Former Vice President Joe Biden has hired the out gay former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark – and one of Barack Obama’s top election campaign advisers – to be his new deputy campaign manager focused on finance, external outreach, and coalition building.
Rufus Gifford was referred to as Obama’s unofficial “ambassador to the gay community.” He was named ambassador in 2013, and in 2015 he married his husband Stephen DeVincent in Copenhagen, shortly after marriage equality was legalized in the U.S.
“Rufus will focus on places where finance intersects with policy and political work and will also occasionally serve as a spokesperson for the campaign,” a campaign official told the Washington Post.
On Twitter, Gifford said that he has “never been more fired up for a new job.”
He also said that he was starting on Monday, sharing a picture of his husband.
In 2008, Gifford served as an adviser to the Obama campaign. During Obama’s first term, he was the Democratic National Committee’s finance director. In 2012, he was the finance director of Obama’s reelection campaign, before he was named ambassador.
In 2018, he ran for Congress in Massachusetts, but he lost the campaign.
