THE SECOND THREE SPARKY & YAMA STORIES IN ONE HUGE 180+ PAGE BOOK! FULL STORIES! FULL COLOR!
KWAI The Little Water Buffalo
Kwai Noi is a baby Water Buffalo whose parents have suddenly passed away.
When Ake rescues him and brings him to the barnyard, the other animals feel jealous of all the special attention he receives. Pretty soon, many of the other animals begin to tease him. The leader of the group, Typhoon, the son of a racing champion soon has almost everyone against Kwai Noi, and soon the teasing becomes outright bullying.
At first, Sparky joins in with the teasing, but as it gets worse must decide whether or not to risk his new friendship with Typhoon and take up for little Kwai, or stay popular in the group of bullies.
When things take a dangerous turn for Kwai Noi, Sparky turns to his best friends, Yama and Willy for advice, and must decide whether to be a follower in a group of friends, or possibly become another victim by making a stand for what he thinks is right.
Whatever Sparky decides, he knows it won't be easy.
YAMA'S PAPA It's Father's Day in The Land of Smiles!
Even though Willy is walking again, Yama has been feeling "blue"... and not just because of his paint! As much as he loves his friend, Willy, Yama feels like something very important is missing in his life.
Yama wonders if he ever had mother or father, and if so, why have they never been in his life? Didn't they want, or love him? Yama realizes that he's a machine, but he knows that he must have come from somewhere... even if he didn't have two parents like Willy and the animals on the farm, there must have been SOMEONE.
When Willy learns of Yama's problem, he tries to help his mechanical friend, and amazingly, it turns out Yama has a Papa after all... one who's always taken good care of him! Yama's had no idea, but his Papa has always been there for him his entire life!
ALEX & YAMA It's been four long years since Willy left his cabin near Ubon to go teach English in Vietnam. Yama is "all grown up". In Vietnam, he's now a big blue and black NVX automatic. When Willy first arrived in Vietnam, Yama was brand new, and nearly the fastest bike on the road. But the years and wear have taken its toll on him. When Yama suffers an engine breakdown on the way home, Willy considers buying a new motorcycle. Yama's young friend, Alexia (Alex) argues that Yama is part of Willy's family... and you can't just replace family when they get old or sick. Alex convinces Willy to try to rebuild Yama into a brand new motorcycle and make him even better than he was before, but they'll need help with tools and parts... While Yama is being rebuilt in Vietnam, he wakes up back in his old body with Ake and Sparky in Thailand, and discovers that he isn't the only one who has grown up! It turns out that Sparky has a few surprises of his own! Yama tells his old friends all about Willy and their new friends. He also promises to come back often to visit Sparky, Ake, and all his other Thai friends!
