Farming is hard work, physically exhausting and long, long days. One day as summer was almost over, I was surprised to hear my dad say, "We're not going to work as hard next year as we did this year. We went to the fields before sunup and worked until after sundown, and we don't have anything to show far it. So next year we will take it a little easier." Next year came and we went to the fields before sunup and worked until after sundown, the same as every other year.
One time he said children in the Methodist Orphanage had to work but not extremely hard. Then he added a completely fantastic unbelievable statement. Turning to us kids he said, "Oh, they have to work harder than you do."
