Second, moral ethics values were presented through eight moral attributes: kindness, cleanliness, discipline,
logical thinking, frugality, acquaintance, democracy promotion, and reading habit implantation. Third, knowledge values were presented through four aspects of knowledge: animals, Thai language use, tales, and Thai and foreign beliefs.
