There is a polo tournament in Bangkok. The tournament takes place every year. This year is the 16th.

The tournament is a charity. The money goes to street elephants. This year, the tournament makes 1.5 million dollars.

Difficult words: tournament (a series of contests or sports events), handle (tell where to go), charity (an organisation that helps people or animals).
