In the poem, we can learn a lot about the farmers as well as their hard work. Hot as it is outside at this summer noon time, the farmers are still working in the fields. They are sweating all over, and frequently their sweat falls into the soil, where the crops grow. Should we only think of the farmers’ hard work according to the poem? I think it’s especially important that the younger generation today should treasure every grain on our dish. Thank you for your listening null 300168.0 $
