Illustrations of Thai children
at play: 1. a vivid drawing
of four children enjoying rope-jumping; 2. a watercolour
painting of two boys in sporting outfits, of which one is holding a football
and has his arm around the other's neck and shoulder, whilst
the other carries a shoulder bag and a badminton racket,
while holding the other at the waist, thus expressing close
friendship among sportsmen, even of different disciplines,
and in the background are some vague aquarelles of people
playing different kinds of sports, including swimming, football,
basketball,
takraw,
table tennis or ping pong, badminton and volleyball. |
