khmer life skills 101

Do you want to understand us, asked a Khmer girl. 

Yes.

Ok. Here's a story every child sees, hears, smells and eats in school. It says everything.

Once upon a time there was a hungry rabbit.

    It saw a woman coming with a basket of bananas on her head.

    The rabbit thought, I will play dead and see what happens.

    The woman stopped when she saw the rabbit.

    She said, “A dead rabbit. Meat. We will eat good tonight.”

    She picked up the rabbit, put it her basket and continued walking.

    The rabbit ate all the bananas and ran away.

     What a clever rabbit.

She gets home. Her family is happy to have food.

"I found a rabbit. We'll eat good tonight."

She put the basket down. "Oh my."

Lesson? Don't put all your bananas in one basket.
