item the best alternative for each blank.
The King has been making this journey for more than two decades,
spending sometwo months of each year in the north and developing a
special relationship with such groupsas the Hmong, Lahu, Yao, Akha
and Karen. Many among the hilltribes regard this relationshipas
something very special and concrete.
5 "I love the King because when he came so did the water." Ja
Phu, a Lahu living nearthe Burmese border, once told me. Life had
been harsh for him, his eight children and twowives. Then, in 1980,
the King initiated several linked projects which struck at the
coreproblems faced by the villagers of Kae Noi.

Ja Phu said total dependence on the rains was replaced by a
75,000-cubic metre dam10 personally engineered by His majesty-and
stocked with fish for good measure. The surplus
baskets of corn he now harvested could be sold to buy clothes
for the family. And if theharvest, nonetheless, proved too meagre
he could borrow rice and seeds from the village"rice bank."
Before, one or two of his cows, pigs and chickens would die each
year from disease, he15 explained, and the children grew up
illiterate and largely ignorant of the world beyond the
village fields. A veterinarian now comes around to vaccinate the
livestock. Two of hischildren attend a new elementary school just
across the road from his house while a third isgetting a higher
level of education at a town which earlier had seemed a universe
away.
