"Yul, hurry up. You gonna be late for school." Yul looked at his mother and nodded.

He closed the encyclopedia he was reading and put it in his bag.

"You're bringing that to school?" Mrs. Kwon asked as she watched Yul wore his shoe.

"Yeah. I just want to read it on my way to the zoo later." 

"Oh, that's today. I totally forgot. Here, take some extra allowance for souvenir." 

Yul smiled giddily. 

"Thanks, mom." Yul bid his mother goodbye as his bus arrived.

Mrs. Kwon waved back to his son and entered her car before she drove to work.

"I am totally going to look for the lion." Yoong said as Yul read the encyclopedia.

"I want to see the elephant." Yul said as he looked at the picture of the elephant in that book.

"Elephant? That's too common. Besides, they are fat and lazy. All they do is poop and sleep." Yoong said.

"You talk like a kid. How old are you again?" Yul was annoyed.

"Whoa. Sorry if you are offended. I just don't think they are cool enough to be look forward to." Yoong explained.

"For me, they are majestic. They are the gentle giants. I...I have been dreaming of elephants since ever. I really want to see one in front of me." Yul said and Yoong could only nod.

"How's the zoo, son?" Mr. Kwon asked and Yul was excited to tell his story.

Mr. and Mrs. Kwon was happy to listen to their son.

"I tell you what, if you score the KSAT, we'll go to Thailand the land of elephants." Mr. Kwon announced.
