hall where there is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm
work and exchange news. The children run around, playing games and shouting merrily.
Laughter is heard everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products
like vegetables, fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the
