worked in a widow field but when the harvest time came, the stalks were
empty of kernels”. Randa Derma said, “if you still want to work, i will give
you a chance. You can work in my field but I have no buffalo, and my field is
not the big one. If you did it, you can have 1 of 5 of the harvest”. Dongso
