Is
everything all right?
Heath is more important than anything. Children are more precious than silver, gold, or Jewelry.
Do you remember this song?
It would be better if having a home and land.
It wouldn’t be a matter that the property was taken away if we had many children who were dignified and outstanding.
My soul will protect the mountains and fields.
Don’t sell our paddy field.

Before they take away the sewing machine, I am eager to wear clothes that you sewed for me.
