As a child, I lived in a small town, but far from farming life. Both long for a new life in the city, but also occasionally envious of large areas of rice Native students in the pastoral. Of course, I was more at that time is that farmers do too hard, not to earn a lot of money, but also so busy, the wind and sun, and constantly friction with the land made his hands dark and rough.
