For the Coffee Table Book - Issue #2

Planting (rice) is never fun,
Back's bent from dawn 'till set of sun.
Cannot sit and cannot stand - bending all day is never fun...


Just a loose translation of the first stanza of the song Magtanim ay Di Biro.

After all the hardships of planting rice, the farmer is supposedly rewarded by a bountiful harvest - and rest...

For the second picture in this series, here's a rice farmer resting after a harvest.
